The part of the flower that develops into seed is

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks which part of a flower becomes the seed after fertilization.

Step 2: Explain the concept After pollination, the pollen grain grows a pollen tube down the style and into the ovary. A male gamete fuses with the egg cell inside the ovule. This is fertilization.

After fertilization:

• The ovule develops into the seed.
• The ovary develops into the fruit.
• The ovary wall becomes the pericarp, the fruit wall.

Step 3: Check each option

• A. Ovule: It contains the egg cell and, after fertilization, becomes the seed. This is correct.
• B. Pedicel: This is the stalk that holds the flower. It does not form the seed.
• C. Petal: Petals attract pollinators. They usually wither after fertilization.
• D. Style: This is the tube that carries the pollen tube to the ovary. It usually withers after fertilization.

Step 4: Answer The part of the flower that develops into the seed is the ovule, which is option A.

Exam tip: Remember "Ovule → Seed, Ovary → Fruit." You can think of it as "Ovule Seeds, Ovary Fruits." JAMB often asks this pair together, so be ready for the "ovary develops into" version too.
