Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the life cycle of plants, the haploid gametophyte $(n)$ produces gametes by mitosis, which fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into a diploid sporophyte $(2n)$, which produces haploid spores by meiosis. These spores germinate to form a new gametophyte. This cycle of alternating between the haploid gametophytic generation and the diploid sporophytic generation is known as the $	ext{Alternation of generations}$.
