Question

In plants, alternation of generation refers to a life cycle that includes:
Options
A have a haploid sporophyte phase and a haploid gametophyte phase
B have a diploid sporophyte phase and a diploid gametophyte phase
C have two diploid sporophyte phase and one haploid gametophyte phase
D have 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 type of life cycle that occurs in plants and algae in the Archaeplastida kingdom. It consists of a diploid sporophyte phase that produces spores and a haploid gametophyte phase that produces gametes. These two multicellular stages alternate in the life cycle.

Hint

Recall the ploidy levels (haploid/diploid) of the sporophyte and gametophyte stages in plant life cycles.
