If it is primarily haploid, it is said to have a haplontic cycle, and if it is primarily diploid, it is said to have a diplontic cycle. |
Most are saprophytic similar to true fungi. v. Sexual life cycle is diplontic, fungi have haplontic cycle. |
The life-cycle is of haplontic type showing alternation of dominant haploid stage with short-lived diploid stage. |
Dinoflagellates have a haplontic life cycle, with the possible exception of Noctiluca and its relatives. |
