Best Answer

A reproductive cycle in which a haploid (n) phase (the gametophyte), gives rise to gametes, which after fusion to form a zygote, germinate to produce a diploid (2n) phase (the sporophyte). Spores produced by meiotic division from the sporophyte give rise to new gametophytes, completing the cycle.
