Question

Write the post fertilisation changes that occur in a flower.

Answer 1

Post-fertilization changes in a flower:
1. The ovule develops into a seed, which contains the fertilized zygote.
2. The ovary grows into a fruit, which helps in protecting and dispersing the seeds.
3. The stigma, style, and anthers wither and fall off after fertilization.
4. The petals also fall off as they are no longer required for attracting pollinators.
These processes ensure the continuity of plant life and the production of new plants.
