Question

After double fertilisation in angiosperms, which of the following pairs of transformations occurs simultaneously?

Options

• Ovule → Seed and Ovary → Fruit

• Ovary → Seed and Ovule → Fruit

• Zygote → Seed and Ovary → Endosperm

• Ovule → Fruit and Ovary → Seed

Answer 1

After double fertilisation, the fertilised ovule matures into a seed while the ovary wall ripens into the fruit wall. These two simultaneous changes represent the shift from a reproductive phase to a developmental phase in the plant's life cycle.
