All statements are true for the given life cycle pattern, except
**The option was changed to correctness.**

Gametes are produced in haploid plant body by

Choose the odd one w.r.t. life cycle pattern.

Sporophytic generation represented by only single cell, i.e., zygote is seen in
**Formatting of the question was changed.**

Select the miss-matched pair w.r.t. life cycle pattern:



A multicellular, filamentous alga exhibits a type of sexual life cycle in which the meiotic division occurs after the formation of zygote. The adult filament of this alga has

Zygote of an organism developed after syngamy undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores, which divide mitotically and form the gametophyte. The organism must have ___________________________________life cycle.

Zygotic meiosis is characteristic of
