Which of the Following Organisms Do NOT Exhibit Alternation of Generations

Question

Which of the following organisms do NOT exhibit alternation of generations in their life cycles?
A)mosses
B)angiosperms
C)ferns
D)gymnosperms
E)the green algae Chara and Choleochaete

Accepted Answer

Mosses, angiosperms, ferns, and gymnosperms all exhibit alternation of generations, where their life cycle alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage. Chara and Choleochaete, which are types of green algae, do not follow this pattern and thus do not exhibit alternation of generations in the same manner as the other listed organisms.
