Vedclass · Answer

(D) In a diplontic life cycle,the diploid sporophyte is the dominant,photosynthetic,and independent phase of the plant. The gametophytic phase is represented by a single to few-celled haploid gametophyte. Fucus (an alga) is a classic example of this cycle. However,Bryophytes and Pteridophytes do not follow the diplontic life cycle; they exhibit haplodiplontic life cycles (haplo-diplontic). Therefore,statement $D$ is incorrect.
