(N/A) The arrangement of seeds within a fruit is determined by the type of placentation,which refers to the arrangement of ovules within the ovary.
In a pea pod,the ovary is monocarpellary and unilocular,exhibiting marginal placentation. The ovules are attached to the placenta along the ventral suture,resulting in a linear,row-like arrangement of seeds.
In a tomato,the ovary is multicarpellary and multilocular,exhibiting axile placentation. The ovules are attached to a central axis within the multilocular ovary,which,as the fruit develops and matures,results in the seeds being embedded within the fleshy,juicy pulp of the fruit.
