Explain alternation of generations in pteridophytes.

1 Answer

Answer :

The process by which gametophyte and sporophyte formed alternately during the life

cycle is called alternation of generations.

The life cycle of pteridophytes includes two successive generations namely a haploid

gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte.

The sporophyte produces spores which germinate into haploid gametophyte called

Prothallus. Fusion of male and female gametes results in zygote which develops into a

sporophyte
