Correct answer: A. Hemitropous
- A. Hemitropous
- B. Campylotropous
- C. Anatropous
- D. Orthotropous
Explanation
In hemianatropous or hemitropous ovule, the nucellus and integuments are at right angles to stalk or funiculus so that the ovule becomes curved. It is commonly found is Primulaceae and Ranunculus. In campylotropous ovule the body of the ovule gets curved and micropyle is directed downwards. Atropous ovule is erect and micropyle, chalaza and funiculus are in the same straight line. Anatropous ovule is the most common type of ovule in angiosperms. In this the body of the ovule gets inverted and the micropyle is on lower side.
