Question

Plants do not make their gametes by meiosis. How is that?​

Answer 1

plants make their gametes by mitosis. This is because in meiosis the daughter cells only contain half the number of gametes. Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction, so the cells will be identical to the plant. This is done by mitosis

Answer 2

The haploid multicellular plants (or algae) are called gametophytes, because they make gametes using specialized cells. Meiosis is not directly involved in making the gametes in this case, because the organism is already a haploid. Fertilization between the haploid gametes forms a diploid zygote.
