Question

Alternation of generations consists of the following phases in plants.

• A. Diploid sporophytic phase
• B. Diploid sporophytic phase and Haploid gametophytic phase
• C. Haploid gametophytic phase
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Diploid sporophytic phase and Haploid gametophytic phase

Life cycle of plants has two distinct phases - the diploid sporophytic and the haploid gametophytic - that alternate with each other. The lengths of the haploid and diploid phases, and whether these phases are free- living or dependent on others, vary among different groups in plants. This phenomenon is called alternation of generation.
