Question

label all the stages in the life cycle of a tomato plant and describe the process​

Answer 1

Growth stages of plants, in very general terms, can be split into four periods:

Establishment from planting or seeding during vegetative growth until first flower appears.

From first flowering to first fruit set.

From fruit ripening to first harvest.

From first harvest to the end of last

Answer 2

The tomato plant reproduces sexually, meaning that it requires both female and male organs to produce seeds. Every tomato seed has a tiny tomato plant inside. When the conditions are just right, tomato seeds will germinate. As the seed germinates, the radicle or young root first appears and grows down into the ground. The cotyledons or seed leaves then appear and grow up towards the Sun and the young plant develops true leaves. As the plant matures, more leaves develop and flower buds form. On mature tomato plants, flowers develop and this is where sexual reproduction occurs.

The diagram in the photo below shows the life cycle of a tomato plant. The life cycle starts from seeds and as the plant grows and matures, flowers develop. After pollination and fertilization, fruits develop which contain seeds, allowing for the life cycle to start again.
