Why do you not use the term maize fruit and maize seed?
The maize grain is actually a fruit in which the fruit wall and the seed coat are fused together to form a protective layer. Such a fruit is termed as grain or seed .therefore, we call it as maize seed instead of maize fruit
What is biological term of a fruit?
In biology terms, a fruit is a wall of tissue sounding the seed in a flower.
What turns into fruit after fertilization?
The ovary of a flower turns into a fruit after fertilization. The fertilized ovule develops into a seed, while the ovary wall develops into the fruit that surrounds the seed.
How are fruit formed?
seeds and ovary produce at the same time. the ovary becomes the seed within which the embryo develops and the outer coverings of the ovule develops into a seed coat, a covering of the seed. The ovary ripens into a fruit. seeds and ovary produce at the same time. the ovary becomes the seed within which the embryo develops and the outer coverings of the ovule develops into a seed coat, a covering of the seed.

What is happening to the ovary as the seed is developing?
it drops down and feels good
What is a winged seed?
A samara is a winged achene, a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall.
What is the function of the fruit of the plants?
There are two functions of a fruit 1. To protect and nourish the developing seeds inside the fruit 2. To help is the dispersal of these seeds Sometimes, as in case of grains and nuts, the mature fruit wall also protect the germinating seed.
When does a seed develop?
A seed develops after fertilization of the egg within the ovule, which triggers the formation of the seed coat, embryo, and endosperm. The process of seed development begins once the ovule is fertilized by pollen and matures as the seed reaches full maturity.
What is the part still useful after fertilization?
Sepals, Petals, Stigma, Anther: dries up and fall off Ovary: develops into Fruit Ovary wall: develops into Fruit wall Ovule: (Ovum) develops into Embryo (Ovule) Becomes SEED (Intregument) develops into seed coat (Other parts of ovule) becomes Endosperm (provides nutrients for embryo)
How can you prove that a nut is a fruit?
By referring to the botanical definition:A nut in botany is a simple dry fruit with one seed (rarely two) in which the ovary wall becomes very hard (stony or woody) at maturity, and where the seed remains attached or fused with the ovary wall. Most nuts come from the pistils with inferiorovaries (see flower) and all are indehiscent (not opening at maturity). True nuts are produced, for example, by some plant families of the order Fagales. This includes chestnuts, acorns and hazelnuts.Other nuts are not strictly (botanically speaking) a fruit - but rather a seed.
What is the attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall called?
Implantation
What is formed from the ovary?
After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit that encapsulates and protects the seeds. The ovary wall thickens and matures into the fruit's protective layer, while the ovules inside the ovary become seeds. The fruit aids in seed dispersal and is essential for the plant's reproductive success.
