Solution:

Diplo-haplontic or Haplo diplontic: It is characterized by the existence of sporophyte as well as gametophyte. Both of them are photosynthetic and free living and two-phases the diplophase and haplophase are nearly equal. If sporophytes and gametophytes are morphologically different then the life cycle is termed as Diplo-haplontic-heteromorphic, e.g., all pteridophytes, all bryophytes some brown algae viz., Laminaria and other Kelps.
