What are the plants undergoing alternation of generation?

Answer 1

Gen 1 = The plant reproduces sexually

Gen 2 = The offspring of that plant reproduce asexually

and the cycle begins again, hence the name alternation

---Caveat---

This is a very simple explanation and surely there are exceptions and important details to consider depending on the exact species. For instance, triggers that can cause an alternation of generations, or sequences *how many times a the plant reproduces sexually/asexually before switching. Plant reproduction can be very complex! Good question. Just remember, all true plants will have alternating generations.

Answer 2

Alternation of generation in flowering plants refers to the process of plants alternating between haploid and diploid cells. It begins with two haploid cells fusing together to form a diploid cell with twice the amount of chromosomes as the original haploid. They then split into diploid sporophytes which grow and split through meiosis, which splits the chromosomes in half, leaving each daughter cell with half the amount of chromosomes. The germinates produced are therefore haploids, which go on to fuse together and form diploids, starting the process over again.

Answer 3

Meiosis in sporophytes produces haploid spores

Edited answer:

All plants belonging to bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms have alternation of generations to complete their life cycle.

Answer 4

Plants that undergo alternation of generations include mosses, ferns, and flowering plants. These plants have a life cycle that alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage. This allows them to reproduce sexually and produce spores for dispersal.

Answer 5

Plants like the fern, liverwort they have the diploid and the haploid stages in their life
