Detailed explanation-1: -Fruits are another evolutionary adaptation present in angiosperms. Once the plants are pollinated and the ovules fertilized, the ovary grows into a fruit. One of the main functions of the fruit is to assist in the dispersal of the seeds, which is achieved through different mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. They are the largest and most diverse group within the kingdom Plantae, with about 300, 000 species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollen from a flower’s anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part). The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ovary in angiosperms develops into the fruit whereas the ovules become the seeds enclosed within the fruit.

Detailed explanation-5: -Angiosperms are plants that produce flowers and fruit. Angiosperms can be self-pollinated, meaning pollen falls on the stigma of the same flower, or cross-fertilized, during which pollen from one flower travels to a stigma of a flower on another plant.
