The diploid phase of the human life cycle begins with?

fertilization


What are the main steps in the diploid life cycle?

The main steps in the diploid life cycle are: meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to zygote, to diploid individuals, to a reproductive cellIf you are mainly concentrating on the steps I guess you could say Meiosis and Fertilization.


What is a land plant that produces flagellated sperm and has a sporophyte dominated life cycle?

fern


Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages?

Meiosis maintains the normal diploid number by halving the number to make the gametes and then allowing the diploid number to be restored through fertilization. For example in humans: Germ cells undergo meiosis --> Sex reproduction 2n germ cells --> 1n gametes --> 2n fertilization


What are the two stages of plant life?

Plants have what is called an alternation of generations in their life cycle. The two stages are called the sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation. The sporophyte generation is diploid (has pairs of chromosomes). It produces spores by meiosis (reduction division), so the spores are haploid (contain only one chromosome from each pair). The spores divide by mitosis to produce a multicellular, haploid gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (by mitosis) which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. This then develops into the sporophyte, completing the life cycle. The plants which we call mosses and ferns are the gametophyte generations. However conifers and flowering plants are the sporophyte generation of their life cycle. This is much easier to understand if you see a diagram.

What stage of a ferns life cycle do you see fiddleheads?

You will see fiddleheads in the first stage known as transition in the life cycle of a fern. The fiddleheads are delicately divided when they expand into fronds.
