What do all plant life cycles have in common?

All plants have an alternation of generations: a diploid sporophyte phase alternates with a haploid gametophyte phase. This is why “Diploid and haploid phases alternate” is correct. Seeds form only in seed plants, sperm are not always carried by wind, and sporophytes develop from fertilized eggs rather than being formed by meiosis.
