SSC Stenographer 2020-21 Previous Year Paper (15-Nov-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

ovules

The correct answer is ovules.

When pollen from the stamen reaches the stigma, it grows a pollen tube down through the style to reach the ovary and fertilize the ovules . After fertilization, the ovary develops into the fruit, and the ovules inside it develop into seeds. Thus, the fruit is essentially a mature ovary containing mature ovules (seeds). This process highlights the critical role of the ovules within the ovary in plant reproduction.
