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.
