MCQ
Sporophytic generation is represented by zygote only in:
  • A
    Funaria
  • B
    Chlamydomonas
  • C
    Pinus
  • D
    Selaginella

Answer

  1. Chlamydomonas

Explanation:

Chlamydomonas belongs to the class Chlorophyceae.

These are algae which do not show a fixed mode of alternation of generation.

Hence the sporophytic generation itself is considered as the zygote.

This zygote undergoes meiotic division resulting in the formation of haploid individuals i.e. game­tophyte.

Zygotic meiosis is the characteristic feature of Chlamydomonas.
