Very interesting read

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Learning about this in Botany at uni... I had never heard of it and it is incredibly interesting once you get your head around it!

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternation_of_generations

 

Was happy to find some Haploid Gametophytes growing on the side of this plant.

Where are you studying botany? I did a few semesters at UNSW as part of my course.

Charles Sturt, I'm looking at carrying the units onto a degree semester 2 or in 2020 :)

Very cool - thanks for sharing! I also have some gametophytes growing in my cacti "takeaway tek". I had no idea cacti follow "Alternation of generations" in this way (unless the seeds I bought were contaminated somehow).

Also a youtube video with a good explanation of this phenomenon on ferns:
