Answer» RIGHT answer is (d) Papaya is an example of basal placentation The explanation: In marginal placentation, placenta DEVELOPS on the ventral side of an ovary. Unlike marginal placentation where ovary is single chambered, in AXILE placentation ovary is multi-chambered. Okra (ladies finger) is an example of axial placentation i.e. ovary is multi-chambered and ovules are attached to the CENTRAL axis. Papaya is an example of parietal placentation. |
