Angiosperms are flowering plants. The carpal is a reproductive organ within the flower. What part of the carpal becomes the fruit when fertilization occurs?

Angiosperms are flowering plants. The carpal is a reproductive organ within the flower. The carpal is the female organ at the center of the flower and it consists of the ovary, style, and stigma. The ovary is the lower part of the pistil that ripens into a fruit and it consists of the ovule.


I hope it helps, Regards.

The answer is an ovary.

The carpal is the female part of a flower and it consists of the style, stigma, and ovary. After pollen lands on the stigma, pollen tube begins to grow until it reaches an ovule which is inside the ovary. A nucleus of pollen will fuse with a nucleus of the ovule and that fertilization will occur. A fertilized ovule becomes seeds surrounded by the ovary which matures and becomes the fruit.
