Plant Reproduction and Life Cycle. The life cycle of a plant is very different from the life cycle of an animal. Humans are made entirely of diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes, referred to as ''2n''). ... Plants, however, can live when they are at the stage of having haploid cells or diploid cells.
Explanation:
In an animal life cycle, male and female parents each create sex cells (sperm and eggs) that unite to form a fertilized egg and develop into an offspring organism. Plants, likewise, have sperm and eggs in their life cycles, but these are produced by an intermediate stage between the adult and the offspring.
Answer: The similarity between ferns and humans is that both go through meiosis and mitosis. But ferns are different because they have multicellular, free-living haploid and diploid forms. In humans, the haploid stage exists in the form of single cells- sperm and eggs. only the diploid stage that begins with a zygote grows mitotically to form a multicellular, free-living human.
