<span>A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function. The nature of this function is still unresolved (see Meiosis), but the two main ideas are that meiosis is adaptive because it facilitates repair of DNA damages and/or that it generates genetic variation.
The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte. At maturity, the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, which does not alter the number of chromosomes. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a zygote, which develops into a diploid sporophyte.</span>
Answer:<u> Option D
</u>
Solar panels contain a very expensive element, i.e. silicon. This element is able to convert the solar energy into electric energy. The cost of the solar panel gets expensive because of this rare element. It is found in limited areas of the world. That’s why option D is correct. Coal is not used in solar panel, so option B is incorrect. Neither is wind energy, so option A is also incorrect. Water is also not used for exploiting solar energy, which makes option C a wrong answer.

Answer:
Round Mountain is an epithermal, low-sulphidation, volcanic-hosted, hot-springs deposit located along the margin of a buried caldera. The majority of the mineralisation at Round Mountain is contained within the tuffs, although drilling has encountered some ore in the underlying Palaeozoic basement.
