multiple choice question
the seed develops from what part of the flower?
style
ovule
stamen
anther
After fertilization in a flower, the ovule undergoes development. The ovule contains the female gamete. When sperm (from pollen) fertilizes the egg within the ovule, the ovule transforms. The integuments of the ovule become the seed coat, and the fertilized egg (zygote) develops into the embryo. The endosperm (formed from triple fusion in angiosperms) also contributes to the seed's structure. So, the ovule is the precursor to the seed.
The style is part of the female reproductive structure (pistil) that connects the stigma to the ovary. It is a passage for pollen tubes but does not develop into a seed. The stamen is the male reproductive part (has an anther and filament). The anther produces pollen (male gametophytes). Neither the stamen nor the anther develop into seeds.
