Question

In which of the following group of organisms, mitosis occurs during gametes formation?

• A. Algae and fungi
• B. Algae and bryophytes
• C. Most of the animals
• D. More than one option is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D More than one option is correct

When the division occurs in the haploid cell then the type of division will be mitosis and when the division occurs in the diploid cells then meiosis occurs. Mitosis is the equational division (Chromosome number remains same) while meiosis is the reductional division (Divide chromosomes into half). Organisms that are primitive like monera, fungi, algae, bryophytes etc have a haploid plant body so in them mitosis occurs at the time of gamete formation.

So, the correct option is 'Algae, Fungi, and Bryophytes'.
