How are the ovules arranged in the ovary of a pea plant? Draw its diagram and compare it with the diagram of an open pod of a pea.

Ovules are structures that are present inside the ovary of the pistil. These ovules are arranged differently in different ovaries. In the pea plant, the ovary has marginal placentation i.e., the ovules are arranged along one margin of the ovary.

A neat labelled diagram of the ovary of the pea plant and its open pod.

The ovary develops into a fruit post fertilisation. In the pea plant, the ovary of the flower develops into a pod. As the ovules are present along the margin of the ovary, an open pod also has ovules arranged along the margin.
