Question

Trace and explain the steps involved in the formation of reed

Answer 1

The transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. Now the male gamete enters into the ovary where fusion of male and female gametes takes place. This process is called fertilisation.

After fertilisation of ovules various changes take place. The petals, sepsis and stamens are dried and destroyed. Only ovary remains. The ovary contains fertilised ovule. After fertilisation ovary containing a number of fertilised ovules is called fruit. The fertilised and developed ovule is called seed.
