Question
Differentiate between haplontic and diplontic life cycles.
| S.No. | Haplontic Life cycle | Diplontic Life cycle |
| (a) | The haploid phase is dominant and the diploid phase is represented only by the zygote. | The diploid phase is dominant and single-celled or few celled gametophytes are the only haploid phase in the life cycle. |
| (b) | Zygote undergoes meiosis; embryo and sporophyte are absent, e.g. Algae such as Spirogyra. | Zygote develops into an embryo and then into a sporophytic plant, e.g. Gymnosperms and angiosperms. |
