ripened……………

Answer 1

Answer:

Fruit represents a mature ovary while the seeds represent ripened ovule.

Explanation:

Fruit represent a MATURE OVARY. While seed represent a mature OVULE.

Botanically, a fruit is a mature ovary and its associated parts. It usually contains seeds, which have developed from the enclosed ovule after fertilization, although development without fertilization, called parthenocarpy, is known, for example, in bananas.

Answer 2

Fruit represents a mature ovary while the seeds represent the ovule.

• Fruit is a flowering plant's fleshy or dry ripening ovary that contains seeds.
• A mature ovary and its associated parts are referred to as a fruit. It usually contains seeds that have grown following fertilisation from the enclosing ovule.
• The anthers and stigma wither, the petals fall off, and the sepals may be shed or modified as a result of fertilisation; the ovary enlarges, and the ovules mature into seeds, each containing an embryo plant.
• The primary function of the fruit is to guard and disseminate the seed.
• Angiosperms disseminate seeds with the use of fruits.
• The pericarp, derived from the ovary and enclosing the seeds, is the outer, generally edible layer.
• However, different tissues contribute to or create the edible component in some species.
• The epicarp, mesocarp, and endocarp are the three layers of the pericarp, from outer to inner.
• The gynoecium of the flower(s) forms all or part of the fruit, which occurs from the maturation of one or more flowers.
