Question

Ovule with hilum lying close to micropyle is known as:

• A. Anatropous
• B. Circinotropous
• C. Atropous
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Anatropous

An ovule is called anatropous when its body is rotated by ${180}^{\circ }$ and micropyle comes near to the hilum or funiculus.

An ovule is called circinotropous when it has a long funicle which circles the ovule resulting in the micropyle pointed upwards.

Atropous is a distractor and not a term related to ovule.
