FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersThe formation of a seed, a small embryonic plant, is the last step of reproduction in plants. It takes place after fertilization and also after pollination. A fruit is really just a ripened ovule of a plant and an ovule is a reproductive part of the plant. Generally pollen grains are transmitted from a stamens to a pistil. A carpel is a reproductive organ of the plant. A pistil is made up of a carpel or carpels. A stamen is considered a "male" part of the plant and the carpel "female." Most plants have both parts but self-fertilization is not the norm for plants.





The seed coat is not a reproductive part of a plant. Did you ever notice when eating a watermelon spitting all those seeds out? Or bit too deep in the core of an apple? Those are actually the plants seeds.





I'm not 100% sure of its relevance but if you look at that link there the seeds are formed after some growth has occurred within the motherplant. When growth starts with a seed this as known as germination. A process. Again, not totally sure of the relevance of that.
Reply:I meant ripened ovary not ripened ovule. I don't think germination is relevant except I was reading the plant can begin growth in the motherplant. The seed coat can form over the plant embryo and that is basically growth. Ordinarily it germinates in the ground. Report It

Reply:A seed is a ripened ovule, not a fruit. Report It

Reply:Quote: " Fertilization is different than pollination in that fertilization is the actual act of the pollen and egg uniting to form the new seed. Fertilization may also take place much later on than pollination." Enquote. Report It

Cheating is wrong. If you pretend to understand your work then the teacher will just expect you to understand much more complex things next time and life will get steadily harder for you.affiliate reviews
