Summary Introduction

To summarize:

The alteration of generations in the flowchart below.

Introduction:

The diploid multicellular stage in a plant’s or algae’s life cycle is known as a sporophyte. A sporophyte develops from the zygote that is produced by the fertilization of haploid egg and a haploid sperm. Due to this, every sporophyte has two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
