11. Get a picture of alternation of generations put it in your blog and explain how it relates to plants.
Alternation of generation refers to life cycles where organisms have two different multicellular stages: one that is diploid, another that is haploid. This is different from human, humans are multicellular stages are usually diploid. The only time when its haploid its egg and sperm. Haploid is a cell or an organism having half of the number of chromosome in somatic cells. In the other hand, diploid means a cell or an organism consisting of two sets of chromosomes. Alternation of generation could also represent the life cycle of plants. The picture represents an example of alternation of generation. It is both multicellular diploid and multicellular haploid. On the undersurface of its base or leaves, it goes through meiosis to create haploid cells.
