Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Process "6" involves mitosis, which is the replication and division of cells for growth and asexual reproduction in land plants. Meiosis, on the other hand, produces haploid gametes for sexual reproduction. Fertilization is the union of gametes to form a diploid zygote. Nuclear fission and binary fission are types of asexual reproduction in some organisms, but not land plants.
