Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -While most algal genera are haplontic, some of them such as Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia, and Kelps are haplo-diplontic. Fucus is diplontic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polysiphonia is a red algae with haplo diplontic life cycle and Fucus is a brown alga with diplontic life cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Algae such as Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia and Kelp are haplo-diplontic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fucus shows diplontic life cycle where the diploid sporophytic phase is dominant over haploid gametophytic phase.
Detailed explanation-5: -The haplo-diplontic life cycle is seen in all bryophytes and pteridophytes, along with certain algae. It is also observed in certain algae like Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia and kelps.
