1.	Observe the given figure and explain in detail.
Answer» 1. The given figure indicates diplontic life cycle. 2. Here, mitotic division occurs only in diploid cells. 3. Gametes formed through meiosis are haploid in nature. 4. The diploid zygote formed after fertilization divides mitotically. 5. In this process, production of multicellular diploid organism or the production of many diploid single cells takes place. 6. Animals show diplontic life cycle. [Note: Diplontic type of life cycle is commonly observed in animals and all seed-bearing plants i.e. gymnosperms and angiosperms.]
