Polysiphonia and Fucus exhibit____ and ____respectively, in its life cycle. Haplontic, DiplonticDiplontic, HaplodiplonticHaplodiplontic, DiplonticHaplodiplontic, Haplontic
Solution
Polysiphonia and Fucus are both types of algae, and they have different types of life cycles.
Polysiphonia exhibits a haplodiplontic life cycle, also known as a diplohaplontic life cycle. This means that it has a life cycle that includes both a multicellular diploid phase (the sporophyte) and a multicellular haploid phase (the gametophyte).
Fucus, on the other hand, exhibits a diplontic life cycle. This means that its life cycle is dominated by the diploid phase, and the haploid phase is reduced to the unicellular gametes.
So, the correct answer is "Haplodiplontic, Diplontic".
