Plant Life Cycles
Diplontic life cycle: only diploid stage is multicellular (humans)
Haplodiplontic life cycle: Both haploid and diploid stage are multicellular - in plants
Sporophyte is diploid; produces spores
Germinating spores undergo meiosis
Gametophyte is haploid; produceshaploid gametes
Zygote is diploid; results from thefusion (fertilization) of two haploidgametes
Reduction of gametophyte increases towards higher plants
