In the haplodiplontic cycle, both the diploid (2n) and haploid (1n) phases are multicellular. The 2n sporophyte produces sporocytes in a sporangium, each of which goes through meiosis to create four (4) spores. These spores are dispersed and germinate into gametophytes. Gametophytes mature and produce sex cells: male (e.g. sperm) and female (e.g. eggs) in gametangia. Sex cells fuse, during fertilization, to create a young sporophyte or zygote. This cycle is also called the diplo-haplontic life cycle or alternation of generations or sporic meiosis. Examples: All land plants, chytridiomycetes, red algae, some brown algae, and some green algae. Most land plants (except bryophytes) have a dominant sporophyte phase, with a reduced gametophyte. This can make land plants seem like they are diplontic, but they are not. Every land plant group has a multicellular gametophyte (although hidden), which makes them haplo-diplontic.
