Question

Meiotic division occurring just at the time of gametogenesis is

• A. Sporic
• B. Initial
• C. Intermediate
• D. Terminal

Answer 1

The correct option is D Terminal

• In plants, meiosis is occurring as in diploid sporophyte to produce haploid spores.
• The haploid spores are germinating to produce structures called gametophytes. The gametophytes then produce gametes.
• Gametic or the terminal meiosis occurs in all multicellular animals. It takes place in the gonads and hence as results in the formation of gametes.
• It is responsible for gametogenesis and does not give rise to gametophytes.
• The correct option is D.
