In a Haplontic Organism's Life Cycle,the Mature Organism Develops

Question

In a haplontic organism's life cycle,the mature organism develops
A) after fertilization and before meiosis.
B) after meiosis and before fertilization.
C) between meiosis I and II.
D) during G1.
E) in diploid cells.

Accepted Answer

In a haplontic organism's life cycle, the mature organism develops after meiosis and before fertilization. This means that the organism is haploid (has only one set of chromosomes) and can reproduce through gamete production. The haploid organism will then produce gametes through mitosis, which will fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
