f) Fruit development.

Options:

c, e, f.

 

b, d, e.

b, e, f.

Correct Answer:

b, e, f.

 

Explanation:

Post fertilisation is defined as a series of events that occur in order for the plants to produce a fruit. After fertilisation, a series of events occur in the development of plants to form a fruit from a diploid zygote. The four different developmental steps that occur during post fertilisation are described below:

  • The Formation of an endosperm.
  • The Growth of an embryo.
  • The Growth of a seed.
  • Fruit development.

Formation of flowers, formation of pollen grains and transfer of pollen grains are pre fertilisation events.
