c. Fruit.

d. Sporophytes.

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's look at our next problem. It says angiosperms are seed plants that produce fruit seeds and flowers. The term seed refers to a fertilized blank, whereas blank develops into blank following fertilization. So let's think about fertilization in a flowering plant. Uh You have the female commit to fight which is the oval or egg. And that oval is inside an ovary. So the seed develops when the oval is fertilized. So we want to look at, the seed refers to a fertilized and the word we want is over. You'll. So that has to be our first answer here. And we see in choice A. And B. Oval is first Choice C. Has ovary first but it's not the ovary itself. It's fertilized but the oval. So Choice C. Is not correct, twisty has micro spore. Well the micro spore is that uh structure that develops into the mail got in a fight which is a pollen grain. So Choice D. Is all about the male gamete of fights. And the male half of that fertilization process. So it is not correct. So again we have the seed fertilized oval. And they were saying after fertilization something develops into something. Well after fertilization the ovary which contains the ovals develops into the fruit. So if we look at our answer choices, we want ovary as a second choice and that's only in Choice B. And then the ovary develops into fruit as our third choice. So Choice B. Is our answer here. Choice A. Is close. Um It has the wall of the overall developing into the fruit wall. Um But that's not quite correct that while the overall um called the perry carp develops into the entire fruit, whether it's fleshy like things that we think of typical fruits we eat or hard like a nut. Um So it's more correct to say that the ovary develops into the fruit, so Choice A. Is not quite right, although it's close. So again, angiosperms are seed plants. The term seed refers to a fertilized choice be oval, whereas an ovary develops into fruit following fertilization. See you in the next video.
