Alternation of generations in plant permit:

Question

1. Both mitosis and meiosis.
2. Neither mitosis nor meiosis.
3. Only meiosis
4. Only mitosis
I would say, both.

Answer 1

You are correct; the alternation of generations in plants involves both mitosis and meiosis.

In this life cycle, there are two main phases: the haploid gametophyte generation and the diploid sporophyte generation.

1. Mitosis occurs in the gametophyte generation to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells) and also occurs in the sporophyte generation to produce spores.
2. Meiosis occurs in the sporophyte generation to produce haploid spores from diploid cells.

Thus, the correct answer is: 1. Both mitosis and meiosis.
