Plant Life Cycle II

Flowering plants (angiosperms) and cone-bearing plants (gymnosperms) have more advanced life cycles compared to algae, bryophytes, and ferns. These seed-producing plants still go through alternation of generations, but their sporophyte stage is the dominant and visible part o...
