In organisms with haplontic life cycle:
(1) The zygote divides by meiosis to form haploid spores that grow into haploid individuals.
(2) The zygote divides by mitosis to produce diploid spores that grow into diploid individuals.
(3) The zygote divides by meiosis to produce haploid gametes that develop into haploid individuals.
(4) The zygote divides by meiosis to produce diploid gametes that develop into diploid individuals.

Consider the following statements:
I. The plant life cycle alternates between a haploid and a diploid phase: the haploid gamete-producing gametophyte, while the diploid spore-producing sporophyte includes the root and shoot systems.
II. In primitive plants, the gametophytes are usually free-living whereas in seed-bearing plants the gametophytes are sexually dimorphic and develop within the sexual organs of the flower.
III. The structure of the female gametophyte and the fertilization process are distinctive features of the two phylogenetic groups of seed plants, the non-flowering gymnosperms (including conifers and cycads) and the flowering angiosperms.
The correct statements are:
(1) I, II, III
(2) I and II
(3) II and III
(4) I and III
