After fertilisation, the fertilised ovule and the ovary tissues become what?
AThe ovule becomes the fruit and the ovary the seed
BThe ovule becomes the seed and the ovary the fruit
CThe ovule becomes the seed and the ovary the endosperm
DThe ovule becomes the embryo and the ovary the seed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The ovule becomes the seed and the ovary the fruit
1. The fertilised ovule forms the seed.
2. The tissues of the ovary become the fruit, usually enveloping the seed.
3. So seed comes from ovule and fruit comes from ovary, which is the pairing to remember.
4. The endosperm arises from the second fertilisation event rather than from the ovary wall.
