Question

In animals meiotic division occurs during gamete formation. This gametic meiosis results in

• A. Haplontic life cycle
• B. Diplontic life cycle
• C. Diplohaplontic life cycle
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Diplontic life cycle

Meiosis in most of the animals takes place during the formation of gametes (gametogenesis). It is termed as gametic meiosis. When two gametes fuse in fertilisation a diploid zygote is formed. Gametic meiosis results in diplontic life cycle.

So, the correct answer is 'Diplontic life cycle'.
