In most of the Algal genera, the dominant phase of life cycle is
Haplontic
In the haplontic life cycle, the dominant phase is the haploid gametophyte whereas the diploid sporophyte is short-living and represented by a diploid zygote only. Meiosis occurs in the zygote and forms haploid gametes which divide mitotically to form new individuals. In most of the algal genera, the dominant phase of the life cycle is haplontic.
Final answer
a. Haplontic
