$\huge\textbf{Placentation}$

The arrangement of placenta within the ovary is known as placentation. Ovules are attached to the inner wall of special tissues which are called placenta, the ovules are attached by the small stalk called funicules. There are several type of Placentations i.e. Basal, Marginal, central, axile, parietal.

Placentation in Plants of Barbados is Marginal, Marginal Placentation is when in which the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture(The line of fusion where the margins of the mega-sporophypl join) of the ovary and the ovules develop on two separate rows is known to have marginal placentation.

$\huge\textbf{Gynoecium}$

Gynoecium is a female whorl of the flower. It is composed of Carpels. Carpel is composed of Sigma, Style and Ovary.

Gynoecium in Pride of Barbados is Monocarpellary(one carpel), Ovary Superior(An ovary attached above other floral parts is termed superior), consist of one chamber(unilocular), many ovules are present along the margin. Seed is non-endospermic and Fruit is legume.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2> $\huge\textbf{Flower:}$ </h2>

Flower is the reproductive organ of a plant. Morphologically it is very modified shoot. It is developed in the axil of leaf or at a.p.e.x of stem & branch. Flower is also produced in group which is called the inflorescence. If stalk called pedicel is present then flower is called pedicellate, If pedicel is absent Flower is called sessile. If small leaf or scale called bract is present then flower is called bracteate, if absent then called ebracteate.

Use the data and what you have learned about evolution to explain how mutation is a random process, but natural selection is not

Marina CMI [18]

The data are not found here, but evolution means 'descendence with modification', which may occur due to natural selection and mutations.

<h3>What is evolution?</h3>

Evolution is descendence with modification, which generally is caused by a process called natural selection.

Natural selection 'selects' the most adaptive variants in the population, which occurs due to the emergence of mutations.

A mutation is any genetic change in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an individual.
