Concept: Cell division is the process through which the parent cell divides into daughter cells. In organisms, cell division takes place in two ways namely, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is the form of cell division that takes place only in somatic cells. It is also called equational division because the amount of genetic material in the resulting daughter cells is the same as that of the parent cell. On the other hand meiosis is the form of cell division that takes place in germ cells and the amount of genetic material in the daughter cells is half as that of the parent cell. Hence, this form of cell division is also called reductional division.
In chlamydomonas the life cycle that is followed is of the haplontic type. This plant is known to show zygotic meiosis and due to that it produces haploid cells.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
