Difference between haplodiplontic and diplohaplontic life cycle.

1.	Difference between haplodiplontic and diplohaplontic life cycle.
Answer» MitosisMitosis takes place in the haploid (n) phase in the haplontic life cycle.\tMitosis takes place only in the diploid (2n) phase of diplontic life cycle.ExamplesAll fungi, some varieties of algae and many protozoans have haplontic life cycles.\tAnimals and few brown algae have diplontic life cycle. In haplontic life cycle, mitosis occurs in the haploid (n) phase which is multicellular, and the diploid (2n) stage is the zygote which undergoes meiosis.\tIn diplontic life cycle, the diploid stage is typically multicellular, and meiosis occurs during gamete formation which results in the production of haploid (n) gametes and fuse to form a diploid (2n) zygote.
