Question

If meiosis occurs inside pollen grain and egg nuclei, it will be

• A. Zygotic meiosis
• B. Gametic meiosis
• C. Sporic meiosis
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Gametic meiosis

• Zygotic meiosis is the meiosis occurring in zygote after the fusion of two nuclei and results in the formation of haploid cells.

• Gametic meiosis is the meiosis occurring during gamete formation and results in the formation of haploid gametes.

• Sporic meiosis is the meiosis occurring during sporogenesis and results in the formation of haploid spores.

Since pollen grain and egg nuclei are the male and female gamete respectively, meiosis occurring in them will be gametic meiosis.

So, the correct answer is B.
