Answer to Question #94145 in Cell Biology for Sijal

Question

From thallophyta to angiosperm how do we classify diplontic haplontic and haplodiplontic lifecycle?

Answer 1

 Haplontic life cycle refers to a life cycle in which the main form is haploid, with a diploid zygote being formed only briefly while diplontic life cycle refers to a life cycle in which the main form, except for the gametes, is diploid. haplodiplontic means Having multicellular diploid and haploid stages.

 Haplontic life cycle is found in many algae like Volvox, Spirogyra, Ulothrix, Chlamydomonas etc.
