Study Notes
- Gametes are haploid, even though the parent plant body can be haploid or diploid. A haploid parent produces gametes through mitotic division.
- Meiosis, the reduction division, must occur in organisms with a diploid body to produce haploid gametes.
- Organisms like monera, fungi, algae, and bryophytes have a haploid plant body, while organisms like pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms, and most animals have a diploid parental body.
- Asexual reproduction is common in single-celled organisms, as well as plants and animals with simple organizations.
- Clones are genetically identical and morphologically similar individuals produced through asexual reproduction.
