Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Biology - Chapter Cell cycle and Cell Division. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise ".$ex_no." , Question 13: discuss with your teacher about i haploid insect....
Question 13
Discuss with your teacher about
Discuss with your teacher about
(i) haploid insects and lower plants where cell-division occurs, and
(ii) some haploid cells in higher plants where cell-division does not occur.
Answer
(i) In some insects and lower plants, fertilization is immediately followed by zygotic meiosis, which leads to the production of haploid organisms. This type of life cycle is known as haplontic life cycle.
(ii) The phenomenon of polyploidy can be observed in some haploid cells in higher plants in which cell division does not occur. Polyploidy is a state in which cells contain multiple pairs of chromosomes than the basic set. Polyploidy can be artificially induced in plants by applying colichine to cell culture.
