Question

According to the alternation of generations life cycle, during the process of meiosis, the chromosome number

a. is tripled.
b. is doubled.
c. does not change.
d. is cut in half.

Answer 1

The chromosome number is cut in half. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is option - d. is cut in half.

Explanation:

In the alternation of the generation life cycle, the two forms of individuals occur in an alternate way in which the sporophyte and gametophyte take place in one after another.

The meiosis takes place in this life cycle in the sporophytic generation to gametophytic in which micro sporophyte or megasporophyte go under meiosis which has 2n chromosome and dived in two gametes with n chromones in each.

Thus, the correct answer is option- d. is cut in half.
