The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how a haploid plant produces male or female gametes, we can analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding the term "haploid":** - A haploid organism has only one set of chromosomes (n). In plants, this means that the gametes produced must also be haploid. 2. **Analyzing the options:** - **A. Binary fission:** - This is a form of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two identical organisms. It is not associated with the production of gametes. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **B. Mitosis:** - Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In a haploid plant, mitosis can occur to produce gametes that are also haploid. This option is correct. - **C. Meiosis:** - Meiosis is a reduction division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes. Since the plant is already haploid (n), there are not enough chromosomes to undergo meiosis, making this option incorrect. - **D. Amitosis:** - Amitosis is a direct division of the nucleus without the formation of spindle fibers. It is not a typical method for producing gametes and is not associated with the process of gametogenesis. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is **B. Mitosis**, as it allows a haploid plant to produce male or female gametes while maintaining the haploid state.
