Biology Question on cell cycle and cell division
In animals meiotic division occurs during gamete formation. This gametic meiosis results in
A
haplontic life cycle
B
diplontic life cycle
C
diplohaplontic life cycle
D
none of these
Answer
diplontic life cycle
Explanation
Solution
Meiosis in most of the animals takes place during the formation of gametes (gametogenesis). It is termed as gametic meiosis. When two gametes fuse in fertilisation, a diploid zygote is formed. Gametic meiosis results in diplontic life cycle.
