They wither as their function is complete (attracting pollinators), they wither and detach from the plant so that they don't consume any more of the plants resources

What changes will take place in the petals and the ovary after fertilization has occurred?

After fertilization, the petals of the flower will often wither and drop off, as they are no longer needed for attracting pollinators. The ovary will begin to develop into a fruit, which will house the seeds that result from the fertilization process.


What forms after fertilization and the flower petals parts wither away?

After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit while the flower petals wither away. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds, and the ovary wall matures into the fruit to protect and nourish the seeds as they develop.

What is the colorful part of flowers that protects the lower parts where seeds are made?

I believe you are referring to the flower petals, but they are not there to protect the ovary or anything and they often drop off quickly or wither. Flower petals and their bright colors (some of these colors cannot be seen by mammals) are there to attract pollinators (e.g. insects and birds) and guide them towards the center of the flower so that they may efficiently pollinate the ovary.


What happens the petal after fertilization?

When a pollen grain lands on the stigma of a flower, whether deposited there by an insect or the wind or by any other means, fertilization of the flower may follow. The pollen develops a tube which grows down through the stigma and style, enters the ovary and in to the ovule. The male sex cell which is carried in the tip of the tube fuses with the female sex cell in the ovule and fertilization is complete.There is a slight complication: there are two male nuclei in the pollen tube and the second one fuses with another nucleus in the ovule, called the primary endosperm nucleus, and this develops into a food store, called the endosperm, which nourishes the developing embryo plant. An example of endosperm tissue in a seed is the large, starchy part of a grain of wheat, the embryo plant develops from the wheatgerm.
