The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of ovule described, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Description**: The question states that the ovule is inverted (resupinates at 180 degrees), with the body fused to the funicle. The micropyle is close to the hilum and side by side with the funicle, which is facing the placenta. 2. **Identify Key Features**: - **Inverted Ovule**: The term "inverted" suggests that the ovule has undergone a significant rotation. - **Fused Body to Funicle**: This indicates that the ovule is attached to the funicle, which is a stalk that connects the ovule to the placenta. - **Micropyle near Hilum**: The micropyle (the opening through which the pollen tube enters) is positioned close to the hilum (the attachment point of the ovule to the funicle). 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Hemitropous**: The body of the ovule is turned through 90 degrees, which does not match the description. - **Orthotropous**: The micropyle, chalaza, and funicle lie in a straight line; this does not fit the description of being inverted. - **Anatropous**: The body of the ovule is rotated by 180 degrees, with the micropyle near the funicle and the hilum. This matches the description given in the question. - **Campylotropous**: Similar to anatropous but with less curvature; this does not fit the description of being inverted at 180 degrees. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the type of ovule that matches the description of being inverted at 180 degrees, with the body fused to the funicle and the micropyle lying close to the hilum, is the **Anatropous ovule**. ### Final Answer: The answer is **Anatropous ovule**. ---
