name the process in which flower tran
sforms into a fruit in plants
Answers
In general, flowers transform into fruits in a process called, 'fertilization'. Although the fertilization process is mostly similar in all the plants, the presence of reproductive organs in flowers and the pollination process may greatly vary among the plant species.
Explanation:
Pollination
The first step in the flower-to-fruit process is pollination. Most fruit-bearing species are pollinated by insects, but birds, bats and wind can also also assist in pollination. Some species, like peaches (Prunus persica), are self-fertile, meaning that pollen from one flower on a specific tree can pollinate another flower on the same tree. Other species, like apples (Malus pumila), require the presence of several varieties of fruit trees for successful cross-pollination.
