The Introduction to the Alternation of Generations

Plants reproduce through an alternation of generations, involving two distinct forms: the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces haploid spores via meiosis, which grow into gametophytes. These gametophytes produce gametes through mitosis, which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, developing into a new sporophyte. This cycle is essential for reproduction in all land plants and many algae.
