| The alternation between haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte phases, known as alternation of generations, occurs in all multi-cellular plants. |
| In an alternation of generations the other phase produces a brownish gall on cedars. |
| Like plants and many protists, brown algae undergo a complex life cycle involving alternation of generations. |
| Cnidarians show an alternation of generations in which two body forms, the polyp and the medusa, alternate. |
| All simple forms of sexual reproduction without alternation of generations are comprised under the title of hypogenesis. |
| Liverworts have an alternation of generations similar to that of mosses, and, as with mosses, the gametophyte generation is dominant. |
