After fertilisation, the zygote divides multiple times to form which structure within the ovule?
Seed
Fruit
Style
Embryo
Embryo
In angiosperms (flowering plants), the process of double fertilization involves the fusion of a male gamete with an egg cell to form a diploid zygote. This zygote subsequently undergoes repeated mitotic divisions within the ovule to develop into an embryo, which represents the early stage of plant development.

Biology - Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants (Botany)
Fertilisation in plants produces a zygote which is the precursor to the embryo.
The zygote is formed inside the embryo sac located within the ovule.
Post-fertilization, the ovule eventually develops into a seed, while the ovary develops into a fruit.
Option A (Seed): The entire ovule transforms into a seed after fertilization.
Option B (Fruit): The ovary wall matures into the pericarp, forming the fruit.
Option C (Style): This is part of the pistil and usually withers after fertilization.
Double fertilization is a characteristic feature unique to Angiosperms.
D is correct тАФ The zygote divides repeatedly to form the embryo within the ovule.
Always distinguish between the fate of the ovule (Seed) and the ovary (Fruit) as this is a frequently tested concept in Botany for competitive exams.
