Solution
- After fertilisation, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule.
- The ovule develops a tough coat and is gradually converted into a seed.
- The ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit.
- The petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma may shrivel and fall off.
