In haplontic life cycle, the dominant generation is

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [B]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Haplontic Life Cycle
	**Related Topics**: Life cycles of plants and algae, Alternation of generations, Sporophyte, Gametophyte
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant life cycles and the terms sporophyte and gametophyte.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks about the dominant generation in a haplontic life cycle.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition of a haplontic life cycle.
		Reasoning: Haplontic life cycles are characterized by a dominant haploid (gametophyte) phase.
	2. Identify the dominant generation.
		Working: In a haplontic life cycle, the gametophyte is the dominant, multicellular, and photosynthetic stage. The sporophyte is reduced to a single cell (zygote) that undergoes meiosis.
	3. Select the correct option.
		Result: Based on the definition, the correct answer is Gametophyte.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Sporophyte is the diploid generation, which is reduced in haplontic life cycles.
[B] ✓: Gametophyte is the dominant haploid generation in haplontic life cycles.
[C] :x: Both generations are not dominant in haplontic life cycles.
[D] :x: One of the options (B) is correct. 
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Confusing haplontic with diplontic]: Remember that haplontic means haploid dominance, not diploid.
		2.[Assuming both generations are equal]: The question asks for the *dominant* generation, indicating one is more prominent.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Mnemonic]: 'Hap'lontic = 'Hap'loid dominant.
		2.[Visual Aid]: Picture a life cycle diagram; the gametophyte is the larger part in haplontic cycles.
