    Which of the following statement is true?

    A)  Spores are gametes

    B)  Spores and gametes are diploid

    C)  Gametes are always haploid

    D)  Spores are always diploid

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Gametes are always haploid because these are formed from the diploid mother cells by the meiosis (reductional) division. Due to meiosis division gametes contain only one set of chromosomes. Gametes take part in the process of sexual reproduction. Two gametes of different sexes unite and form a diploid structure called zygote which germinates and gives rise to a new diploid individual.
