After fertilization in a flowering plant, the ovule and the ovary respectively develop into:
AEndosperm and seed coat
BFruit and seed
CEmbryo and endosperm
DSeed and fruit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Seed and fruit
1. After fertilization the ovule develops into a seed.
2. The ovary enlarges and develops into a fruit.
3. So ovule becomes seed and ovary becomes fruit.
4. The reverse (fruit and seed) and the embryo/endosperm or endosperm/seed-coat pairings do not match these structures, so they are ruled out.
