select all that apply
select all of the following that occur in the rest of the flower as the angiosperm seed develops.
stamens and petals wither and fall off.
the pollen tube becomes the seed coat.
the ovary grows into the fruit.
petals form the skin or rind of the fruit.

Explanation:

• After fertilization in angiosperms, the stamens and petals, which were important for pollination (stamens produce pollen, petals attract pollinators), are no longer needed. So, they wither and fall off.
• The ovary, which was part of the female reproductive structure (pistil) of the flower, develops into the fruit. The fruit protects the seeds and aids in seed dispersal.
• The pollen tube is involved in delivering sperm to the ovule for fertilization. The seed coat is derived from the integuments of the ovule, not the pollen tube.
• The petals wither and fall off (as mentioned above), they do not form the skin or rind of the fruit. The fruit's skin/rind is part of the ovary - derived fruit tissue.

Answer:

Stamens and petals wither and fall off.
The ovary grows into the fruit.
