Briefly describe alternation of generations in plants. Be sure to include a description of what alternation of generations is, the names of the generations, and their chromosome number.
Alternation of generations is the alternating of diploid and haploid phases that characterize the life cycle of plants. sporophyte generation, which is diploid (2n) gametophyte generation, which is haploid (n).

C ✔ GametophyteSporophyte
D ✔ Haploid (n)Diploid (2n)
E ✔ Gametes (n)Spores (2n)
F ✔ Mitosis Meiosis
