Gametes develop in the multicellular haploid gametophyte (from the Greek phyton, “plant”). Fertilization gives rise to a multicellular diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores via meiosis. This type of life cycle is called a haplodiplontic life cycle (Figure 20.1). Is gametophyte plant haploid or diploid? The multicellular haploid plant structureRead More →

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. … The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. DuringRead More →
Interkinesis lacks an S phase, so chromosomes are not duplicated. The two cells produced in meiosis I go through the events of meiosis II in synchrony. During meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, forming four new haploid gametes. Does haploid happen in mitosis or meiosis?Read More →
Both spores and gametes are unicellular and haploid. Gametes are short-lived and require hydration; they are capable of fusing only with another gamete. Are sporangium haploid or diploid? The sporangium forms on the sporangiophore and contains haploid nuclei and cytoplasm. Spores are formed in the sporangiophore by encasing each haploidRead More →
