Which process produces haploid spores in the plant life cycle described?
Correct Answer:
Meiosis
Explanation:
Meiosis is the division that halves the chromosome number, producing haploid spores. In many plant life cycles with alternation of generations, the diploid sporophyte makes spores through meiosis. These haploid spores then grow (by mitosis) into the multicellular haploid gametophyte, which later forms gametes that fuse during fertilization to restart the cycle as a diploid zygote. Mitosis would not create haploid spores, since it maintains the chromosome number, and fertilization combines haploid cells rather than producing spores. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction and also does not generate spores.
