  1. 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
Correct Option: A

In campylotropous ovule, the body is curved but the embryosac is straight eg. Capsella. In Anatropous, the body of ovule is inverted and gets fused with funiculus along its whole length on one side (most of the angiosperms). In orthotropous condition the body of ovule lies straight and upright over the funicle. e.g. Piperaceae, Polygonaceae.
