Which of the following statements about the sequence of events in sexual reproduction in a flower is correct?

  • A.Seedlings are formed after pollination and before development of embryo.
  • B.Embryo is formed before pollination and after fertilization.
  • C.Seedlings are formed after pollination and development of embryo.
  • D.Embryo is formed after pollination and formation of seedlings.

Answer: C

The correct statement is Seedlings are formed after pollination and development of embryo.

In a flower, events follow this order: pollination (pollen reaches the stigma), fertilisation (a male gamete fuses with the egg in the ovule), formation of the zygote and its development into an embryo inside the seed, and finally germination of the seed into a seedling.

Seedlings cannot form before the embryo (A), since the embryo is what grows into the seedling. The embryo forms after pollination, not before it (B). The embryo forms before the seedling, not after it (D).
