The life cycle during alternation of generation has the following feature:
Correct answer: C. Sporophyte generation produces haploid spores
- A. Zygote undergoes meiosis
- B. Zygote develops into gametophyte
- C. Sporophyte generation produces haploid spores
- D. Gametophyte generation produces diploid gametes
Explanation
Alternation of generations is a life cycle in plants, algae, and some fungi where a multicellular haploid gametophyte stage alternates with a multicellular diploid sporophyte stage. The gametophyte produces gametes, which fuse to form a zygote that grows into the sporophyte. The sporophyte then produces spores through meiosis, which develop into new gametophytes, completing the cycle.
