- It is also known as resupinate ovule.
Answer:
Anatropous ovule is the most common type of ovules, which occurs in more than 80% of angiospermic families. The body of ovule is rotated by 180° and micropyle comes near to the funiculus. Chalaza and micropyle lie in the straight line but hilum is at 90° to micropyle. Thus, micropyle is near to funiculus. A ridge is also present in the ovule as the body of ovule is fused with the funiculus on one side.
