Question

A diploid parent plant body produces _______ gametes and a haploid parent plant body produces _________ gametes.

• A. Diploid, haploid
• B. Haploid, diploid
• C. Diploid, diploid
• D. Haploid, haploid

Answer 1

The correct option is D Haploid, haploid

A diploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes (by reductional division) and a haploid parent plant body produces haploid gametes (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.

So, the correct answer is 'Haploid, haploid'.
