How is a fruit formed?
Answers
Answer:
Fruits are produced only by flowering plants (angiosperms). Following pollination of the flower, the fertilized ovules develop into seeds while the surrounding ovary wall forms the fruit tissue, or pericarp.
ANSWER :
Once the zygote starts to grow, the ovary begins developing into a fruit and the ovules begin to form seeds. The outside wall of the ovary and pistil becomes the skin of the fruit, or in some cases like the apple and pear, there develops a fleshy and edible material outside the ovary wall which becomes the edible part of the fruit. This fleshy material is then covered by an outer covering that derives from the petals, sepals and bracts. In either case, the fruit grows as long as the plant does, but eventually falls when the fruit ripens or the plant goes dormant for the winter.
