What's the relationship between a flower, fruit and seed?

Thanks!!

What's the relationship between a flower, fruit and seed?
The flower is what attracts the pollinator. The fruit is the mature ovary of the flower that contains the seeds. The seeds mature as the fruit decays. The fruit also attracts animals that may carry the fruit to a different location so in a sense it helps to distribute the plant to different areas.
Reply:A flower is a structure that contains the male and female reproductive structures-The anther and ovary respectively.

the anthers form the pollen grains that contain male sex cells, while the ovary contains an ovule containing the female sex cell.



During pollination,the pollens are transferred to a female flower(containing ovary).the pollens release the male sex cell that fuses with the female sex cell(ovule to form a zygote.



After fertilisation the ovary(part of fruit) becomes a fruit while the fertilised ovule forms the seed.
Reply:the seed is planted, then a blossom grows ( let's pretend it's an apple blossom), the blossom turns into a flower which will turn into a fruit.
