An ovule which becomes curved so that the nucellus and embryo sac lie at right angles to the funicle is

  1. hemitropous
  2. campylotropous
  3. anatropous
  4. orthotropous.

Answer

(1) hemitropous

Solution

Types of ovules depend on the position of the micropyle and the body of the ovule with respect to the funicle:

Orthotropous: straight ovule; micropyle, chalaza and funicle in one straight line.

Anatropous: ovule turned through 180°, so the micropyle lies close to the funicle (most common type).

Hemitropous (hemianatropous): ovule turned through 90°, so the nucellus and embryo sac lie at right angles to the funicle.

Campylotropous: the body of the ovule itself is curved (bean-shaped), the embryo sac is curved.

∴ The ovule described is hemitropous.
