Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $Spirogyra$,the life cycle is haplontic. The vegetative body is haploid $(n)$. During sexual reproduction,two haploid filaments undergo conjugation to form a diploid zygote $(2n)$. This zygote develops into a thick-walled structure called a zygospore. Meiosis occurs within the zygospore during its germination to produce haploid zoospores or filaments. This type of meiosis is known as zygotic meiosis.
