Answer 2

Some points on hemitropous ovule are as follows:-

* This ovule is also called as horizontal ovule because the body of ovule is present in horizontal position on the funiculus.

* This type of ovules are also known as Hemianatropous Ovule.

* This is the intermediate type between ortho and anatropous ovules.

*Micropyle & chalaza both are present at the same line but micropyle is situated away from hilum.
