Meiosis takes place in

  1. gemmule
  2. megaspore
  3. meiocyte

Answer

(3) meiocyte

Solution

As per NCERT, in sexually reproducing diploid organisms, specialised cells called meiocytes (gamete mother cells) undergo meiosis to form haploid gametes or spores.

⇒ A megaspore is itself a product of meiosis (of the megaspore mother cell); gemmules and conidia are asexual structures formed by mitosis.

∴ Meiosis takes place in the meiocyte.
