Question

1. what process do spores undergo to become haploid cells?

mitosis
cytokinesis
meiosis
spore genesis

Explanation:

• Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (diploid - diploid).
• Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, separating the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It is part of both mitosis and meiosis but not the process that makes spores haploid.
• Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in haploid cells. Spores are produced through meiosis in many organisms (e.g., plants, fungi).
• "Spore genesis" is not a standard biological process term like the others. The key process for forming haploid spores is meiosis.

Answer:

C. meiosis
