Question

Which among the following is an incorrect statement?

• A. Zygote is formed by fusion of male and female gametes and is diploid in nature
• B. Zygote undergoes reduction division to form a structure called sporophyte
• C. Sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce spores
• D. Spores germinate to form new thallus

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Zygote undergoes reduction division to form a structure called sporophyte

Zygote is formed by fusion of male and female gametes and is diploid in nature. Zygote doesn’t undergo reduction division immediately after fusion. They instead form a structure called as sporophyte. Sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce spores. Spores germinate to form new thallus.
