Document Summary

Products of meiosis in animals vs. plants, fungi and algae animals: Fertilization ends the animals haploid phase of life. Spores go through mitosis grow into haploid gametophytes. Then at maturity the nuclei of some of these cells develop into egg or sperm nu- clei. The sperm and egg cells are genetically identical because they were produced through mitosis. They get fertilized to make diploid zygote that divides by mitosis to make the diploid sporophyte that goes through meiosis to makes spores again. Alternate between haploid and diploid generations where either generation may domi- nate the life cycle. Gametophyte generation usually develops in the reproductive parts of the sporophytes. Diploid phase is limited to the zygote produced by fertilization. After fertilization, the zygote will undergo meiosis to produce the haploid phase. Mitotic divisions occur only in the haploid phase. During fertilization two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid nucleus. Nucleus immediately enters meiosis to make four haploid cells.
