Summary Introduction

To propose a hypothesis: What changes will occur in the human life cycle if they have an alternation of generations, assuming that an adult human would be the same in the multicellular diploid stage?

Concept introduction: Alternation of generations is the process of a diploid (2n) generation (sporophyte) producing a haploid (n) generation (gametophyte), which then produces the next diploid generation. This cycle is seen in plants and algae and is absent in humans, where the haploid phase is just a single-celled gamete.
