I: | As ovules mature into seeds, the ovary develops into a fruit. |
II: | The transformation of ovules into seeds and ovary into fruit proceeds simultaneously. |
III: | The wall of the ovary develops into the wall of fruit called endocarp. |

Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. |
Triploid nutritive tissue of a seed deposited externally to the embryo sac |
Perisperm |
2. |
The tissue that arises from the ripened ovary wall of a fruit; the fruit wall |
Pericarp |
3. |
The natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilisation of ovules |
Parthenocarpy |
4. |
Asexual reproduction where the growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm |
Parthenogenesis |
I: | In a few species, such as apple, strawberry, cashew, etc., the thalamus also contributes to fruit formation. |
II: | Most fruits develop only from the ovary and are called true fruits. |
III: | Fruits can never develop without fertilisation. |
I: | is production of seeds without fertilisation |
II: | means that fruits develop without fertilisation |
III: | can be induced through the application of growth hormones |
IV: | leads to production of seedless fruits |
I: | Seed formation is more dependable. |
II: | Seeds have better adaptive strategies for dispersal to new habitats. |
III: | Seeds preserve genetic homogeneity and do not allow new variations in the gene pool. |
Seed formation is a more dependable reproductive strategy in angiosperms because:
1. | Pollination and fertilization are independent of water |
2. | Seeds have better adaptive strategies for dispersal |
3. | Seeds have sufficient food reserves |
4. | New genetic combinations are generated during seed formation |
