ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between life cycle with Zygotic and Gametic Meiosis.
Difference # Life Cycle of Zygotic Meiosis:
1. Zygote is the only diploid structure in the life cycle.
2. The dominant individual in the life cycle is haploid hence the life cycle is haplontic.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. Meiosis takes place at the time of zygote germination.
4. It is found in some dinoflagellates and cellular slime moulds.
Difference # Life Cycle of Gametic Meiosis:
1. All structures except gametes are diploid.
2. The dominant individual in the life cycle is diploid hence the life cycle is diplontic.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. Meiosis occurs only at the time of gamete formation.
4. It is found in most protozoan protists, diatoms and acellular slime moulds.
