“The algal ancestors of land plants were probably haplobiontic.”

“The life-cycle is of haplontic type showing alternation of dominant haploid stage with short-lived diploid stage.”

“Most are saprophytic similar to true fungi. v. Sexual life cycle is diplontic, fungi have haplontic cycle.”

“If it is primarily haploid, it is said to have a haplontic cycle, and if it is primarily diploid, it is said to have a diplontic cycle.”
