Question 12 • TPS EdX Biology

Which best describes the different features of plant life cycles?

Answer
A
A zygote is a haploid cell that is produced by meiosis.
B
A spore is a diploid cell that is produced by mitosis.
C
A zygote is a diploid cell that is produced by fertilization.
D
A spore is a haploid cell that is produced by fertilization.

Explanation

Fertilization occurs when two haploid gametes join, so their chromosome sets combine to form a diploid zygote. Therefore, the correct description is “a zygote is a diploid cell that is produced by fertilization.” Spores in plants are typically haploid and produced by meiosis, not fertilization.
