Describe the life cycles of animals, plants/some fungi, and other fungi/algae with respect to the amount
of time each type of organism spends in their haploid and diploid phases. Also indicate whether those
haploid and diploid phases are unicellular or multicellular.
What will be an ideal response?
Animals spend most of their life cycle in the diploid multicellular phase, with a reduced unicellular
haploid phase. Plants/some fungi spend equal amounts of their life cycle in the haploid and diploid
phases, and each is multicellular. Other fungi/algae have a dominant haploid phase that is multicellular
and a reduced diploid unicellular phase.
