Zygotic meiosis is characteristic of

  1. Fucus
  2. Funaria
  3. Chlamydomonas
  4. Marchantia

Answer

(3) Chlamydomonas

Solution

Zygotic meiosis (meiosis in the zygote) occurs in the haplontic life cycle: the dominant phase is the haploid gametophyte and the sporophytic generation is represented only by the one-celled zygote.

⇒ As per NCERT, many algae such as Volvox, Spirogyra and some species of Chlamydomonas show this haplontic pattern.

Fucus is diplontic (gametic meiosis); Funaria and Marchantia (bryophytes) are haplo-diplontic (sporic meiosis).

∴ Zygotic meiosis is characteristic of Chlamydomonas.
