This flashcard explains that carpels can be free (apocarpous, as in lotus and rose) or fused (syncarpous, as in mustard and tomato). After fertilization, ovules develop into seeds, and the ovary matures into a fruit.
Este flashcard explica que los carpelos pueden estar libres (apocárpicos, como en loto y rosa) o fusionados (sincárpicos, como en mostaza y tomate). Después de la fertilización, los óvulos se convierten en semillas y el ovario madura en un fruto.
| Text | When more than one carpel is present, they may be free (as in lotus and rose) and are called apocarpous. They are termed syncarpous when carpels are fused, as in mustard and tomato. After fertilisation, the ovules develop into seeds and the ovary matures into a fruit. |
