    Alternation of Generations

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the alternation of generations in plants. It provides a diagram showing the life cycles of plants, which alternate between a sporophyte generation and gametophyte generation. The sporophyte generation undergoes meiosis to produce spores via meiosis, while the gametophyte generation undergoes mitosis and produces gametes via mitosis. The pine tree, pine cone, and flower are sporophyte generations, while the deciduous plant is a gametophyte generation.

    1. Is the alternation of generations unique to plants? Explain.


    Alternation of generation utilize two multicellular stages ( diploid
    is unique to plants because they
    and haploid) unlike animals
    They use both seeds and spores for reproduction
    .
    .

    The pine cone is gametophyte generation
    a .

    4. Which generation is a deciduous (leafy) plant? (sporophyte or gametophyte?)


    The sporophyte generation is deciduous ( leafy) plant
    a .

    5. Which generation is a flower? (sporophyte or gametophyte?)
