Question
Cells of the diploid sporophyte generation undergo ______ to produce haploid spores, which divide to form the gametophyte generation. Cells of the gametophyte generation undergo ______ to produce haploid gametes, which fuse and then multiply to form the diploid sporophyte generation.Multiple choice question.binary fission; conjugationmeiosis; mitosismitosis; meiosisconjugation; binary fission
Solution
Cells of the diploid sporophyte generation undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores, which divide to form the gametophyte generation. Cells of the gametophyte generation undergo mitosis to produce haploid gametes, which fuse and then multiply to form the diploid sporophyte generation. So, the correct answer is "meiosis; mitosis".
