(N/A) $(i)$ In some insects (e.g.,male honeybees) and lower plants (e.g.,algae like Chlamydomonas),the organism is haploid. In these organisms,the zygote undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores or individuals,maintaining the haploid state throughout most of the life cycle.
$(ii)$ In higher plants,certain haploid cells such as the synergids and antipodal cells in the embryo sac do not undergo further cell division. These cells are specialized for fertilization or nutrition and eventually degenerate after the process of double fertilization is complete.
