Document Summary

Early-diverging groups of plants evolved the capacity to disperse their offspring through the air but they still require water for fertilization. Alternating haploid and diploid generations is thought to have evolved as a means of allowing fertilization in water while enhancing the dispersal of offspring on land. The algal sister groups of land plants have one multicellular generations in their life cycle: Three groups of algae that are closely related to land plants. In animals, the multicellular body consists of diploid (2n) cells coleochaete and chara have a multicellular body but it consists entirely of haploid cells (1n) In animals haploid gametes are formed by meiosis. Fertilization occurs when one and one sperm to form a diploid zygote. The zygote then undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid cells. These haploid cells can develop into new multicellular individuals and represent the beginning of the next generation.
