Describe the structure and types of Gynoecium.

(N/A) $\rightarrow$ Gynoecium: It is the female reproductive part of the flower and is made up of one or more carpels.
$\rightarrow$ $A$ carpel consists of three parts: ovary,style,and stigma.
$\rightarrow$ Ovary is the enlarged basal part,on which lies the elongated tube called the style.
$\rightarrow$ The style connects the ovary to the stigma.
$\rightarrow$ The stigma is usually at the tip of the style and serves as the receptive surface for pollen grains.
$\rightarrow$ Each ovary bears one or more ovules attached to a flattened,cushion-like placenta.
$\rightarrow$ Types of Gynoecium:
$\rightarrow$ When there is only one carpel in the Gynoecium,it is called monocarpellary,e.g.,$Peas$.
$\rightarrow$ When more than one carpel is present in the Gynoecium,it is called polycarpellary.
$\rightarrow$ In a polycarpellary Gynoecium,if all carpels are free from each other,it is called $Apocarpous$,e.g.,$Lotus$,$Rose$.
$\rightarrow$ If all carpels are fused,it is termed as $Syncarpous$. In such cases,there is only one ovary,e.g.,$Tomato$,$Mustard$.
$\rightarrow$ After fertilization,the ovules develop into seeds and the ovary matures into a fruit.
