Final answer:

A diploid zygote immediately undergoes meiosis in a haplontic life cycle, where the zygote develops directly into adults without any intervening diploid stage.


Step-by-step explanation:

When a diploid zygote immediately undergoes meiosis, the life cycle is haplontic. In a haplontic life cycle, the zygote undergoes meiosis to produce haploid cells, which then directly develop into adults. This occurs in many algae, fungi, and some protists.
