Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The haploid stage of the red algae life cycle is called the gametophyte, which produces haploid gametes through mitosis. The sporophyte stage is diploid and produces haploid spores through meiosis. The zygote is the result of fertilization between two haploid gametes and is diploid. The tetrasporophyte is a specialized type of sporophyte in red algae that produces tetraspores, which are used for asexual reproduction.
