Get a picture of alternation of generations put it in your blog and explain how it relates to plants




          Alternation of generations relates to plants because it represents the life cycle of their alternating asexual and sexual reproductive forms. In plants, this involves the alternating generations of haploid and diploid forms. Mostly, one of these generations are more dominant than the other, making the other generation dependent upon it or growing as a smaller plant. Examples of this is mosses or angiosperms because the haploid phase is more dominant in mosses, while the diploid phase is more dominant in the angiosperm.
