After Double Fertilization in Angiosperms, What Development Sequence is Correct

Question

After double fertilization in angiosperms, what development sequence is correct?
A) The entire carpel dries up and falls off the plant.
B) The embryo in the seed develops into endosperm.
C) The ovule becomes the fruit.
D) The ovary wall becomes the fruit.

Accepted Answer

After double fertilization in angiosperms, the ovary wall develops into the fruit while the ovule develops into the seed. The embryo develops from the zygote in the seed, and the endosperm is formed by the fusion of the second sperm cell with the polar nuclei within the ovule. The carpel does not necessarily dry up and fall off the plant.
