Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) Fruit is called fertilized and ripened ovary.                                                  

Explanation:

• The post fertilisation changes in angiosperms result in the formation of fruits and seeds.

• It is found that out of two male gametes in the pollen tube, one fuses with the egg cell forming a zygote which develops into an embryo, and the latter undergoes a series of changes to form the seeds.

• Other male gamete fuses with the secondary nucleus of the embryo sac forming a triploid endosperm(3n).

• In the meantime, other parts of the ovary get transformed into the fruit. The fruit provides necessary protection to the seed and helps in its dispersal from the mother plant to outside, where the seed can germinate to give rise to a new plant of its kind.

• Fertilisation leads to the development of the embryo inside the embryo sac of the ovule.

• Along with a series of changes in the embryo, the ovule is converted into the seed while the wall of the ovary and other parts of the flower connected to it change into a fruit.

• Thus, fruit is the seed-bearing structure or is simply defined as ripened ovary. Its biological need is to protect the seeds by forming a case or vessel around them. It also assists in the dispersal of seeds.

Therefore option (C) Fruit is the correct answer.
