Pteridophytes show independent alternation of generation. Explain.

1.	Pteridophytes show independent alternation of generation. Explain.
Answer» The plant life cycle includes alternation of generations, wherein two generations - a haploid gametophytic one alternates with a diploid sporophytic one to complete a life cycle.\xa0The gametophytes produce sporophytes, and sporophytes produce gametophytes. While in some species the gametohytes and sporophytes are isomorphic and inistinguishable from each other, in case of Pteridophytes especially ferns the two forms are separate, free-living andindependent of each other, giving rise to heteromorphic alternation of generations.
