Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of plant is characterized by having a life cycle that includes both a haploid and a diploid phase? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that plants have different life cycles.
  • Step 2: Learn about the two phases in a plant's life cycle: haploid and diploid.
  • Step 3: Know that the haploid phase is called the gametophyte, which produces gametes (sex cells).
  • Step 4: Understand that the diploid phase is called the sporophyte, which produces spores.
  • Step 5: Recognize that plants that have both phases are said to exhibit 'alternation of generations.'
  • Step 6: Identify that all groups of plants, including mosses, ferns, and flowering plants, show this alternation.
