In the life cycle of a dinoflagellate shown, the sexual part of the life cycle depicts a
1. Zygotic life cycle 2. Gametic life cycle 3. Clonal life cycle 4. Sporic life cycle
According to the diagram, the life cycle that is represented by the sexual reproduction in dinoflagellate is:
1. Zygotic life cycle.
This is because, in a zygotic life cycle, the organism is haploid (n) and the zygote is diploid (2n) in nature. Upon fertilization, the zygote undergoes meosis to produce haploid cells. This is evident from the diagram given. Thus, zygotic life cycle.
