A recurrent theme in the life cycle of plants is a phenomenon called Alternation of Generations. In terrestrial plants, such as gymnosperms (e.g., conifers) and angiosperms (i.e., flowering plants), which generation is most likely to be the more short-lived generation?
- The gametophytic generation.
- The sporophytic generation.
- Alternation of generations does not apply to terrestrial or land plants; hence the question is irrelevant.
- The sporophytic and gametophytic generations are equivalent; neither can be considered short-lived.
Answer
(A) The gametophytic generation.
