    The ovule during its development undergoes \[180{}^\circ \]curvature bringing the micrbpyle and chalaza in a line. The development of ovule conforms to

    A)  circinotropous    

    B)  atropous

    C)  anatropous       

    D)  amphitropous.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : Anatropus ovule is the ovule in which due to unilateral growth of funicle, the whole body of the ovule is invented through\[180{}^\circ \]. As a result the micropyle comes close to the base of the funicle. The nucellus remains straight, i.e., micropyle and chalaza lie in one line and the funicle lies parallel to it. Circinotropous ovule is the ovule in which funicle is very long and forms a complete circle around the body of the ovule. Atropous ovule is upright with micropyle, chalaza and funicle falling in a straight line. Amphitropous ovule has a pronounced curved body like that ofanatropous ovule, but here the embryo-sac within the ovule also bends and becomes horse-shoe shaped.
