Question

Choose the option thsat correctly represents the life cycle patterns given below

• A. a - Haplontic b - Diplontic c - Haplodiplontic
• B. a - Haplodiplontic b - Haplontic c - Diplontic
• C. a - Haplontic b - Haplodiplontic c - Diplontic
• D. a - Diplontic b - Haplodiplontic c- Haplontic

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a - Haplontic

b - Diplontic

c - Haplodiplontic

(a) is haplontic life cycle in which the haploid stage is multicellular and the diploid stage is a single cell, meiosis is zygotic.

(b) is diplontic life cycle in which the diploid stage is multicellular and dominant and haploid gametes are formed, meiosis is gametic.

(c) is haplodiplontic life cycle in which multicellular diploid and haploid stages occur, meiosis is sporic.
