Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In alternation of generations, the sporophyte generation is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes, and produces spores through meiosis. These spores then give rise to the haploid gametophyte generation, which produces gametes through mitosis. This cycle continues as the gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which develops into a sporophyte.
