Angiosperms, or flowering plants, have a life cycle characterized by an alternation of generations, meaning that there are two different multicellular forms: one haploid form and one diploid form. In addition to the alternation of generations, other aspects of the angiosperm life cycle, including pollination, fertilization, and seed development, have enabled flowering plants to populate and thrive in a variety of environments.1.

Answer:

All of the above mentioned is true for the angiosperm. The flowering plants are otherwise known as angiosperms. The presence of flowers, endosperm present inside a seed, and a seed containing fruit are the distinguishing features of the angiosperms

Explanation:

Alternation of generations is a type of life cycle that is characterized by the presence of both the haploid and the diploid stage. The former stage is sexual and the latter is asexual in nature. The haploid gametophyte is formed via haploid spores undergoing the process of mitosis.

The process of pollination establishes pollination by  the transfer of the male part of the flower to the female part that is known as the pollen and ovary respectively. In the angiosperms the landing of the pollen grain to the stigma eventually forms the pollen tube that reaches the ovary. The process of pollen transfer takes place via wind, water or pollinators. Also the process of homologous recombination adds to the genetic diversity thereby helping the plants to adapt to variety of environmental conditions.
