Which protists form spores after meiosis?
Correct answer: B. Myxomycota
- A. Oomycetes
- B. Myxomycota
- C. Brown algae
- D. Red algae
Explanation
The correct answer is Myxomycota. These protists are known for their life cycle, which includes the formation of spores after meiosis. This process is characteristic of their reproductive strategy. Oomycetes, while they produce spores, do not follow this method of reproduction. Brown algae and red algae also have complex life cycles involving spores, but they do not specifically form spores after meiosis in the same way as Myxomycota.
