2.	Integument	b.	Stalk of ovule
3.	Chalazal	c.	Protective envelopes of ovule
4.	Hilum	d.	Junction part of ovule and stalk
5.	Micropyle	e.	Basal part of ovule

• A. 1- b, 2- c, 3- e, 4- d, 5- a
• B. 1- a, 2- c, 3- a, 4- d, 5- e
• C. 1- b, 2- c, 3- a, 4- d, 5- e
• D. 1- b, 2- d, 3- e, 4- a, 5- c

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1- b, 2- c, 3- e, 4- d, 5- a

•Funicle is the stalk of ovule by which it adheres to the placenta.

•Integuments are the protective coverings of the ovule.

•Chalaza is the basal part of the ovule which is opposite to the micropyle.

•Hilum is a structure that attaches the body of the ovule to the funiculus i.e. stalk of the ovule.

•Micropyle is a small opening in the ovule through which pollen tube enters the ovule during fertilisation.

Hence, the correct match is:

1-b, 2-c, 3-e, 4-d, 5-a
