diplontic
In this type of life cycle, Diploid zygote, germinates by mitosis to form unicellular or multicellular diploid sporophyte.All seed- bearing plants i.e. gymnosperms and angiosperms,
Haplontic life cycle:
In most of the plants, the zygote undergoes mitotic cell division and produces diploid sporophytes. The sporophyte divides meiotically to produce haploid spores. These spores again undergo mitotic cell division and produce haploid gametophytes. This gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis.
