Solution
The correct option is A Zygospore
- Chlamydomonas is an example of algae with the haplontic life cycle.
- The haplontic life forms produce the gametes through mitosis. After fertilization, a zygote is formed. In the case of Chlamydomonas, zygospore represents diploid zygote.
- This zygospore is the only diploid cell in the entire lifecycle. It is thus that same zygospore that later undergoes meiosis to form haploid offspring.
- So, the correct option is 'Zygospore'.
