Do sunflowers reproduce through mitosis or meiosis?

Sunflowers reproduce through meiOSis when forming gametes for sexual reproduction. The male and female reproductive cells, or gametes, are produced through meiOSis, which ensures genetic diversity. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote develops into a new sunflower plant. Mitosis is involved in the growth and development of the plant itself but is not directly responsible for reproduction.
