what do you understand by alternation of genration?Explain it by taking the example of an angiosperm.
Answers
Explanation:
Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis) is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plants and algae in the Archaeplastida and the Heterokontophyta that have distinct sexual haploid and asexual diploid stages. ... The haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte.
Angiosperms are a major division of plant life, which make up the majority of all plants on Earth. Angiosperm plants produce seeds encased in “fruits,” which include the fruits that you eat, but which also includes plants you might not think of as fruits, such as maple seeds, acorns, beans, wheat, rice, and corn.
ALTERNATION OF GENERATION
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.
