What is alternation of generation?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Alternation of generation describes life cycles where multicellular haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte phases alternate regularly. The gametophyte produces gametes via mitosis; gamete fusion forms a zygote that develops into a sporophyte. The sporophyte produces spores via meiosis, which develop into gametophytes, completing the cycle.
