Question

Name the process by which a fruit is developed.

Answer 1

Flowers are the true reproductive organs of flowering plants. The "male" part is the stamen or androecium, which produces pollen (male gametes) in anthers. The "female" organ is the carpel or gynoecium, which contains of egg (female gamete) and is site of the fertilization. While the majority of flowers are perfect and hermaphrodite (having both male and female parts in the same flower structure), flowering plants have developed numerous morphological and also physiological mechanisms actually to reduce or prevent self-fertilization. Heteromorphic flowers have short carpals and long stamens, or other wise vice versa, so animal pollinators cannot easily transfer pollen to the pistil (receptive part of the carpel). Homomorphic flowers could employ a biochemical (physiological) mechanism called self-incompatibility to discriminate between self and non-self pollen grains. In other species, the male and female parts are morphologically separated, developin

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

• In a wider sense, fruit is developed by process of reproduction which involves - pollination and fertilization.
• If you want to specify, fertilization is more directly associated with fruit formation.

● Extra information -

• Pollination is transfer of pollen from anther of a flower to stigma of another flower.
• Fertilization is fusion of male and female gametes.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
