Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The seeds of a flower are produced in the ____
A
Pistil
B
Ovule
C
Stamen
D
Sepal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the typical flowering plant, or angiosperm, seeds are formed from bodies called ovules contained in the ovary, or basal part of the female plant structure, the pistil.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ovule is the organ that forms the seeds of flowering plants. It is borne in the ovary of the flower and consists of nucellus protected by integuments, precursors of embryo/endosperm, and seed coat, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once pollen gets to the ovary within the flower, the ovary develops into a fruit. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds inside of this fruit.

Detailed explanation-4: -A seed is a reproductive unit which develops from an ovule, usually after fertilization. Ovules are borne by both the angiosperms (true flowering plants) and the gymnosperms (which include the conifers).

Detailed explanation-5: -After pollination, the male gamete reaches the ovary and fuses with the egg to form the zygote. The ovule encasing the zygote develops into the seed. So, if the ovary of a flower has 20 ovules then the fruit that develops from that flower will have 20 seeds.
