Zygotic meiosis is a characteristic of:

• A. Chlamydomonas
• B. Marchantia
• C. Fucus
• D. Funaria

Answer 1

In zygotic meiosis, meiotic division occurs in zygote resulting in the formation of haploid individuals. Thallophytes have dominant gametophytic generation i.e. the presence of haploid individuals. As Chlamydomonas belongs to kingdom Plantae and division Thallophyta, zygotic meiosis is the characteristic feature observed in them.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
