Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Placentation is the arrangement of the ovules on the placenta inside the ovary. In marginal placentation the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture, as in the pea; in axile placentation the placenta is axial with the ovules attached to it in a multi-chambered ovary, as in the tomato. Parietal, free central and basal placentation are further types.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
