2. The sepals, petals, and stamens of the flower after fertilization fall off.
3. The pistil remains attached to the plant.
4. After fertilization, the zygote divides and develops into an embryo while the ovules develop into seeds. and the ovary of the flower develops into a fruit, covered with a thick layer of pericarp which is protective in function.
