Flower structures dry up and drop off after fertilisation as they are no longer needed or no longer contribute to the plant as a whole; as such water and nutrients are directed to other processes (such as seed formation) and the floral parts (besides the ovary) are dispensed with

How does seeds develop?

Seeds develop from fertilized ovules within the ovary of a flower. After pollination, the ovule develops into a seed through a process called seed maturation, which involves the growth and differentiation of various tissues and structures such as the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat. Once mature, the seed is dispersed from the plant and is capable of germinating under suitable conditions to give rise to a new plant.

Why does the apple trees flower develop into an apple?

Scientifically, flowers develops into fruits because the anther which stores pollen sacs that produces pollen grains will be transferred to the stigma by wind or small insects.Each pollen grain produces a pollen tube. The male reproductive cells are found inside the tip of the pollen tube.The pollen tube enters the ovule that contains an egg cell.Fertilisation occurs when the male and female reproductive cell fuses.After fertilisation, the petals,style and stigma wither and drop off but not the ovary.The ovules in the ovary start to develop into seeds and then the ovary swells up to become a fruit.


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.
