Mature ovules are classified on the basic of funiculus. If micropyle comes to lie close to the funiculus the ovule is termed as

Options

A. orthotropous
B. anatropous
C. hemitropous
D. campylotropous

Answer

B

Explanation

Depending upon the configuration and orientation of the body of ovule in relation to funiculus. There are six types of ovule - orthtropous (atropous, erect), anatropous (inverted) hemitropous (half inverted), campylotropous (body curved), amphitropous (both body and embryo sac curved) and cricinotropous (funiculus is coiled around the ovule). circinotropous (funiculus is coiled around the ovule). Anatropous or inverted ovule is the most common type of ovule found in angiosperms (in `82%` of angiosperm families). Here, body of the ovule gets inverted and micropyle is aon lower side. Further micropyle and funiculus lie side and micropyle is close to helium.
