In many angiosperms, the chalaza forms the basal region of the ovule where the nucellus attaches to the integuments opposite the micropyle.

When examining the boiled egg, she carefully noted the two chalazae that kept the yolk centered.

The chef carefully removed the chalazas from the eggs before whisking them into the batter.

The chalazal tissue in the ovule plays a crucial role in directing nutrients to the developing embryo.
