Question

Alternation of generation in plants involves:
Options
A A haploid sporophyte phase and a haploid gametophyte phase
B A diploid sporophyte phase and a diploid gametophyte phase
C Two diploid sporophyte phases and one haploid gametophyte phase
D A diploid sporophyte phase and a haploid gametophyte phase
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Alternation of generations is a life cycle in plants and algae that involves two multicellular stages: a diploid sporophyte (which produces haploid spores by meiosis) and a haploid gametophyte (which produces haploid gametes by mitosis). These two generations alternate in the life cycle.

Hint

Recall the ploidy levels (haploid vs. diploid) and the names of the two main generations (sporophyte and gametophyte) in the plant life cycle.
