i will be doing this too, but it would be cool if someone did this with me so i could compare....im asking you, super smart forum users.
5)All living organisms have a life cycle: a sequence of steps in their reproductive history from conception to production of their own offspring. Diagram the life cycles of an angiosperm and a human, making sure to include all the major developmental stages, which ones are diploid, haploid or triploid, and all the processes occurring in each. Make sure your diagram is clear about when processes are happening and which life stages are involved! Then answer the following questions in a single essay: For each type of organism, which is the dominant generation (haploid or diploid)? What types of environment can each kind of organism live in? How does each organism’s life cycle reflect the environments it can live in, especially with regard to how sperm reach eggs?
Below is a list of life stages and processes that you should use for this question. Each should be used, and none of them should be used more than once except when specifically noted (the number in parentheses indicates how many times it should be used). The terms are in alphabetical order, not in the order related to which type of organism life cycle they are from.
