Diplontic life cycle:

  • The plant body is sporophyte that develops sex organs. 
  • Sex organs produce gametes by meiosis. 
  • The gametes represent the only gametophytic stage in the life cycle. 
  • The gametes undergo fertilization immediately and form a zygote. 
  • The zygote gives rise to the new sporo­phytic plant body.
  • This type of life cycle is found in the majority of the members of Bacillariophyceae, some mem­bers of Chlorophyceae like Cladophora. Fucus and Sargassum of Phaeophyceae also show this type of life cycle. Gymnosperms and angiosperms are the best representatives of the diplontic life cycle.

-The sporophyte bears sex organs in diplontic life cycle, for example, flowering plants.
