Describe the post-fertilization changes in a flower.

The post-fertilization changes that take place in a flower are as follows:

  • The formation of zygote which later develops into an embryo and a primary endosperm cell which develops into an endosperm takes place.
  • While the sepals, petals and stamens are shed, the pistil remains intact.
  • The fertilized ovule develops into seeds.
  • The ovary matures into a fruit that later develops a thick protective wall, called the pericarp.
  • Seeds after dispersal germinate under favourable conditions which later develop into a new plant.
