Question

Leguminosae family shows _________ placentation.

• A. Axile
• B. Marginal
• C. Parietal
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Marginal

(a) Axial placentation- In this type, the ovules are borne around the centre of the compound ovary. E.g- China rose, Tomato etc

(b) Marginal placentation- In this type, the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral surface of the ovary and ovules are borne on the ridge. E.g - Leguminosae.

(c) Parietal- In this type, the ovules develop in the inner wall of the ovary. E.g- Mustard.

So, the correct option is 'Marginal'.
