In Haplontic life cycle:
I.  Sporophytic generation is represented only by the one-celled zygote.
II.  Meiosis in zygote results in the formation of haploid gametes.
III.  The dominant photosynthetic stage is the free living gametophyte

Regarding plants exhibiting diplontic life cycle:
1. Gametophyte is the dominant photosynthetically independent phase.
2. The sporophytic stage is represented by the single to few-celled diploid sporophyte.
3. All seed bearing plants follow this pattern with some variations.
4. Most algae follow this type of life cycle.

A plant has a dominant, independent, photosynthetic, thalloid or erect phase as a haploid gametophyte which alternates with the short-lived, multicellular sporophyte totally or partially dependent on the gametophyte for its anchorage and nutrition. This plant most likely belongs to:
1. Red algae 2. Bryophytes
3. Pteridophytes 4. Gymnosperms
