Find incorrect statement from the following?
Meiosis generates haploid cells from diploid parent cells.
Gametes are human haploid cells. The haploid gametes combine to form a diploid zygote.
Higher plants, such as algae, have it in the zygote since the main plant body is haploid.
Mitosis occurs in reproductive or germ line cells of species' reproductive organs.
Statement 1 and 2
Statement 2 and 3
Statement 3 and 4
Statement 1 and 4
The correct statement are lowerplants, such as algae, have it in the zygote since the main plant body is haploid. Meiosis occurs in reproductive or germ line cells of species' reproductive organs.Hence option 3 is correct.
Meiosis is the division of a diploid parental cell into haploid progeny, each of which contains just one of the diploid parent's pair of homologous chromosomes. Hence statement 1 is correct which makes option A and D incorrect.
When a sperm fertilises an egg, the genetic material in the ensuing zygote cell is combined. In other words, a single set of chromosomes from two distinct haploid cells combines to form two sets of chromosomes in a single diploid cell. That zygote cell eventually develops into a new human. Statement 2 is correct. Hence opinion B is incorrect.
