What is metagenesis? What are the other names of this process?
Metagenesis is the type of life cycle in which there are two dissimilar forms of individuals of the same species, one haploid and the other diploid. In one of these parts gametogenesis occurs and fecundated gametes give birth to the zygote that then develops into the other form. Metagenesis is also called as alternation of generations or as diplobiont life cycle. (All plants, for instance, present metagenesis.)
