name the two generation of plant life cycle? please help
sporophyte gametophyte
@haneenb Is this what you need or no? I'm not really familiar on the subject. ._. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9980/
i dont know if i'm right
sporophyte gametophyte
Do you have any of your notes handy? :O
no

@beccaboo333 :?
So those two are what you think? Do you know what each one means ?
me answer is sporophyte gametophyte
yes
i'm not sure if im right
Hold on :)
oky
sporophyte: (in the life cycle of plants with alternating generations) the asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophyte arises. It is the dominant form in vascular plants, e.g., the frond of a fern. gametophyte: (in the life cycle of plants with alternating generations) the gamete-producing and usually haploid phase, producing the zygote from which the sporophyte arises. It is the dominant form in bryophytes. ~google However, The plant life cycle alternates between haploid and diploid generations. Embryonic development is seen only in the diploid generation. The embryo, however, is produced by the fusion of gametes, which are formed only by the haploid generation. So understanding the relationship between the two generations is important in the study of plant development. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9980/ So I'd go with haploid and diploid :)
so it haploid and diploid
I just provided you with all the information and a link to give you more information. ._.
Read it. You will know.
just i wana make sure :/
if im right or not
If you read the information you will see what is correct. In which the haploid and diploid are.
You already got the answer...
