Sexual Reproduction in Algae Utilizes Meiosis That Results in the Production

Question

Sexual reproduction in algae utilizes meiosis that results in the production of
A)spores with twice as much DNA as the parental cells.
B)gametes with half the amount of DNA as in the parental cells.
C)spores with the same amount of DNA as the parental cells.
D)swarming cells with the same amount of DNA as the parental cells.

Accepted Answer

During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, resulting in gametes with half the amount of DNA as in the parental cells. This allows for genetic diversity in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction.
