Question

Most common ovule partially inverted and curved, such that the micropyle nearly meets the funiculus, is called as
  1. Anatropous
  2. Campylotropous
  3. Circinotropous
  4. Amphitropous

A
Campylotropous
B
Amphitropous
C
Anatropous
D
Circinotropous
Solution
Verified by Toppr

There are six types of ovules seen in plants, namely atropous, anatropous, hemianatropous, campylotropous, amphitropous and circinotropus. In atropous, ovule is straight such that hilum, chalaza and micropyle are in a straight line. In anatropous, ovule is inverted such that micropyle is very close to the hilum. In hemianatropus, ovule is at right angle to the funiculus. In campylotropous, ovule is partially curved and inverted such that the micropyle nearly meets the funiculus. In amphitropous, ovule is partly inverted such that the funicle is in the middle of one side. In circinotropous, the long funicle makes a circle around the ovules.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
