Which life cycle do all fungi and some algae follow?
AThe diploid dominant cycle
BThe alternation of generations
CThe haploid dominant cycle
DThe asexual budding cycle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The haploid dominant cycle
1. Life cycles are grouped by which multicellular stage is the obvious one.
2. Most animals are diploid dominant, since only their gametes are haploid.
3. Plants and some algae alternate between two multicellular stages.
4. All fungi and some algae are haploid dominant, with a haploid body.
