Question

In a campylotropous ovule, what is the angular relationship between the funicle and chalaza?

पर्याय

• The funicle is at right angle to the chalaza

• The funicle and chalaza are in one straight line

• The funicle is parallel to the chalaza

• The funicle coils completely around the ovule

Answer 1

Campylotropous ovules are slightly curved in shape. In this type, the micropyle and chalaza are not positioned in a straight line, which distinguishes it from orthotropous and anatropous types. The funicle is characteristically oriented at a right angle to the chalaza. Chenopodium is a typical example of this ovule type.
