Question

What primarily triggers the beginning of flower formation before it even becomes visible on the plant?

Options

• Pollination and fertilization events

• Hormonal and structural changes

• The opening of the floral buds

• The development of the embryo sac

Answer 1

Hormonal and structural changes

Explanation:

Flower formation is a highly coordinated process. Long before a bud is visible, internal chemical (hormonal) and physical (structural) shifts within the plant initiate the transition to reproductive growth.
