After fertilisation, the zygote divides multiple times to form which structure within the
ovule?
-
A.
Seed
-
B.
Fruit
-
C.
Style
-
D.
Embryo
Correct Answer:
D. Embryo
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option D: Embryo.
Following the process of fertilisation in plants, the resulting zygote undergoes a series of rapid cell divisions within the ovule. This cellular multiplication leads to the development of the embryo, which serves as the rudimentary plant. Concurrently, the ovule develops a protective outer layer and matures into a seed, while the surrounding ovary typically transforms into a fruit. The embryo remains dormant within the seed until favorable environmental conditions trigger germination, allowing it to grow into a new seedling. Other structures like the style are part of the female reproductive system that function prior to fertilisation.
