  1. In Ulothrix/Spirogyra, reduction division (meiosis) occurs at the time of
    1. gamete formation
    2. zoospore formation
    3. zygospore germination
    4. vegetative reproduction
Correct Option: C

Plant body of Ulothrix and Spirogyra is gametophyte (haploid), they produce zoogametes(n) which fuse to form zygospore (2n) diploid, which is a resting spore. Under favourable condition zygospore undergoes reductional division or meiosis to produce zoospores which give rise to new plant.
