Question

_________ is the stalk that attaches an ovule to the placenta in the ovary of a flowering plant.
1. Chalaza
2. Micropyle
3. Funicle
4. Hilum

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Funicle

The answer is Funicle.

• The ovule is located inside the part of the flower called the gynoecium in the flowering plants.

• The ovary of the gynoecium produces one or more ovules and eventually becomes the fruit wall.
• Funicle is the stalk that attaches an ovule to the placenta in the ovary of a flowering plant.
• The body of the ovule fuses with a funicle in the region termed the hilum.
• Thus, the hilum acts as the junction between the ovule and funicle.
