                                                                                                  How does the type of division in a zygote during the life cycle of an organism determines its fate?

Answer:

In organisms with haplontic life cycle, zygote divides by meiosis to form haploid spores, which then grow into haploid individuals. In organisms with diplontic life cycle, zygote divides by mitosis, forming a diploid embryo, which grow into a diploid Individual.
