How is fertilisation responsible for formation of a fruit? (Take example of a
watermelon as fruit). Explain the process.
Answers
Answer:
After pollination and fertilization, carpels develop into the fruit tissue we eat (ovary) and the seeds within (ovules). Fruit development is initiated by growth regulating hormones produced by developing seeds. Flowers with one carpel only require fertilization of one of the two ovules to produce fruit

Explanation:
While parthenocarpy is the formation of fruit without fertilization, apomixis is the formation of seeds without fertilization. In a natural flow of biological processes, pollination is the first step in the formation of a fruit and see
