Let's compare the lifecycle of humans (diplontic) with Chlamydomonas (haplontic). Which of the following is a correct comparison of the two lifestyles? O A. In a diplontic species, meiosis is required for cell division of the mature organism. B. A diploid zygote is only formed in a diplontic species; it is not found in haplontic species. C. Mitosis is required for cell division only in haplontic species like Chlamydmonas. D. Chlamydomonas is haplontic: the cells growing in culture are haploid.
