Stamen - either dries up or drops off, depending on species.
Petal - dries up or drops off
Ovary - thickens and enlarges to form the fruit
Sepal - often dries up and stays attached
Egg - when fertilized becomes the zygote which develops into the embryo of the seed
Ovule - becomes the seed

It actually depends on the plant. Most of the parts will fall off because they are no longer needed. Stamen and petals will fall off (I cannot think of a plant where this doesn't happen). Sepals may or may not fall off. Think of a strawberry or a tomato. The leafy structures on these fruit are actually the remnants of the sepals. The ovules become the seeds of the fruit, and the ovary (I think that is what you meant by 'egg') swells to become the fruit, which could be a berry, a capsule, a seed pod, an apple or pear-like fruit, etc. It can vary a lot from plant to plant, and because of this, the description of the fruit can be key when identifying a plant.

the stamens drop off as do the petal and sepal
the ovary grows rich with fructose forming the fruits and the egg or ovule form the seeds
as in the apple if you turn it upside down you will see the remenants of the stamens and nothing else
the fruit is the ovary wall and seeds are the pips

after fertilization sepals, petals, stamen, style and stigma wither and fall off.The zygote or fertilized ovum develops to an embryo gives a baby plant.The ovule develops the seed and ovary develops into fruit. the seed does t germinate into a new plant immediately. When the conditions like suitable temperature, light water and air are favourable, the seed germinates into a new plant.

The stamen goes limp. Then rolls over and goes to sleep.

Those not needed in the maturation of the seeds shivel up and die.
