Question

Enumerate the changes that take place in a flower after fertilization

Answer 1

• After fertilisation, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule.

• The ovule develops into a tough covering and gets converted to the seed.

• The petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma shrivel and fall off. The seed contains the future plant which develops into a seedling.
