Question:
A diploid parent plant body produces ________ gametes and a haploid parent plant body produces ________ gametes?
Options:
diploid, haploid
haploid, diploid
diploid, diploid
haploid, haploid
Correct Answer:
haploid, haploid
Explanation:
A diploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes through reductional division, and a haploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes through reductional division (by equational division). As the gametes are to be haploid since after union they will re-establish the ploidy level similar to the parent generation.
