Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
A typical angiospermic ovule is a small structure attached to the placenta by means of a stalk called funicle. The body of the ovule fuses with funicle in the region called hilum. Each ovule has one or two protective envelopes called integuments. Integuments encircle the nucellus except at the tip where a small opening called the micropyle is formed. Mature ovules are classified on the basis of funiculus. It can be orthotropous, anadromous, hernitropous, campylotropous, etc.
  1. The body of the ovule consists of a mass of parenchymatous cells called:
  1. Integuments.
  2. Nucellus.
  3. Hilum.
  4. Funiculus.
  1. Refer to the given figure and select the correct statement regarding it.
  1. This type of ovule is found in cactus.
  2. The micropyle comes to lie close to the funiculus due to unilateral growth of ovule.
  3. It is most common type of ovule found in the members of Chenopodiaceae.
  4. It is half inverted ovule.
  1. Identify the parts labelled as $A, B, C$ and $D$ in the given figure and select the correct option.
S. No $A$ $B$ $C$ $D$

  1. Mature ovules are classified on the basis of funiculus. If micropyle lie close to the funiculus, the ovule is termed as:
  1. Orthotropous.
  2. Anatropous.
  3. Hemitropous.
  4. Campylotropous.
