Question

When the eggs of a plant are fertilized by the pollen, the eggs become the __________ while the surrounding ovary becomes the __________?

Answer 1

The eggs become the seed (first zygote), while the surrounding ovary becomes the fruit of the plant (first, the embryo). This process occurs during the fertilization of a plant and is complex in nature but happens all around us all of the time. The fruit that is developed contains one or more seeds at the end of the process.
