Your study of plants this year will include knowing that they exhibit alternation of generations.a. What does this mean?b. What are the two generations?c. Which generation is haploid, & which is diploid?
Looking at the three types of sexual life cycles. Plants have a life cycle that involves spores, which form as a result of _____________ so these spores are haploid. Both haploid & diploid cells can divide by mitosis. However, meiosis begins with cells that are _________________, & as a result of meiosis, daughter cells are formed that are always ____________________. These cells can be gametes (animals) or spores (plants).
