    In orthotropous ovule, the micropyle and chalaza are :

    A)  oblique to funiculus

    B)  parallel to funiculus

    C)  at right angle to funiculus

    D)  in straight line with funiculus

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In orthotropous (atropous) ovule the micropyle, funicle and chalaza lie in a straight line. Anatropous ovule is completely inverted. The funicle and the, micropyle lie side by side e.g., family Compositae and Solanaceae. In hemianatropous ovule integument and nucellus are at right angle to the funicle e.g., Ranunculus. An amphitropous ovule is curved ovule with horse-shoe shaped embryosac. The micropyle, chalaza and funicle lie near each other.
