Answer:

Alternation of generations describes a plant's life cycle as it alternates between a sexual phase, or generation and an asexual phase. The sexual generation in plants produces gametes, or sex cells and is called the gametophyte generation. The asexual phase produces spores and is called the sporophyte generation.
