Answer:
Ovary
After pollination and fertilization, carpels develop into the fruit tissue we eat (ovary) and the seeds within (ovules)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Female reproductive structure of flower that usually develops into the fruitis called ovary.
- Pericarp is the fruit tissues surrounding the seeds that are derived from the ovary.
- Ovule is the egg-bearing structure of the flower that develops into a seed.
- After pollination and fertilization, carpels develop into the fruit tissue we eat (ovary) and the seeds within (ovules).
- Fruit development is initiated by growth regulating hormones produced by developing seeds.
- Flowers with one carpel only require fertilization of one of the two ovules to produce fruit.
