What type of meiosis takes place in the life cycle of algae?

 # _______ takes place in the life cycle of algae:
 A. Gametic meiosis
B. Sporic meiosis
C. Centric meiosis
D. Zygotic meiosis


The correct answer is D. Zygotic meiosis.

In the life cycle of algae, zygotic meiosis occurs. This involves a unique pattern where the diploid zygote resulting from the fusion of gametes undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores. These spores then develop into new haploid individuals, completing the life cycle. Unlike in animals and plants, where meiosis usually occurs during gamete formation, in algae, it takes place after the zygote is formed.
