Question

Name an alga that exhibits a diplontic life cycle?

Answer 1

Diplontic life cycle:

1. When the gametophytic phase is described by a single to few haploid gametophytes and sporophyte is dominant.
2. This type of diplontic biological life cycle is generally found in the plants such as angiosperms and gymnosperms.
3. The diploid sporophyte is a dominant and autonomous step of this life cycle.
4. In addition, gametes are undergoing meiosis.
5. These gametes are called haploid, & they are called gametophytes. The sporophyte is very evident.
6. For example The brown algae Fucus, shows this type of life cycle.
