Question

What is alternation of generation

Answer 1

Alternation of generation is a phenomenon in the life cycle of some organisms where they alternate between two different multicellular forms, usually asexual and sexual, in their life cycle. This cycle involves both a haploid and diploid phase, where the organism goes through meiosis to produce haploid spores or gametes, which then develop into a multicellular individual that is diploid. The diploid individual then undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores or gametes, completing the cycle. This process is seen in some plants, algae, fungi, and some protists.
