Q. Sporophytic generation is represented only by one - celled zygote. There are no free living sporophytes in which type of life cycle:

Plant Kingdom

Solution:

Sporophytic generation is represented only by the one-celled zygote. There are no free-living sporophytes. Meiosis in the zygote results in the formation of haploid spores. The haploid spores divide mitotically and form the gametophyte. The dominant, photosynthetic phase in such plants is the free-living gametophyte. This kind of life cycle is termed as haplontic.
