Alternation of Generations: All Embryophytes and some algal Viridaeplantae undergo a specialized type of life cycle known as Alternation of Generations. This term reflects the fact that the generations change ploidy, with a diploid generation (the sporophyte) giving "birth" to a haploid generation (gametophyte), and that haploid generation giving "birth" to the next diploid (sporophyte) generation, and so on.
