Question

plant reproduction
sexual reproduction in plants occurs when the pollen from an anther is transferred to the stigma. plants can fertilize themselves: called self - fertilization. self - fertilization occurs when the pollen from an anther fertilizes the eggs on the same flower. cross - fertilization occurs when the pollen is transferred to the stigma of a different plant.
when the ovules are fertilized, they will develop into seeds. the petals of the flower fall off leaving only the ovary behind, which will develop into a fruit. there are many different kinds of fruits, including apples and oranges and peaches. a fruit is any structure that encloses and protects a seed, so fruits are also \helicopters\ and acorns, and bean pods. when you eat a fruit, you are actually eating the ovary of the flower.
