Answer:

Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in organisms.

Explanation:

Scientists used this to compare organisms and their traits through time. They argued that, theoretically, organisms with similar structures must have acquired those traits from their ancestors, hence its use as evidence for evolution.

The study of comparative anatomy predates the modern study of evolution. Early evolutionary scientists like Buffon and Lamarck<span> used comparative anatomy to determine relationships between species. Organisms with similar structures, they argued, must have acquired these traits from a common ancestor. Today, comparative anatomy can serve as the first line of reasoning in determining the relatedness of species. However, there are many hidden dangers that make it necessary to support evidence from comparative anatomy with evidence from other fields of study.</span>

Seedless plants genetically alternate between generations.

<h3>What is the reproduction cycle of seedless plants like?</h3>

All seedless vascular plants have very similar life cycles. As in bryophytes, their life cycle has two alternating generations:

and the sporophyte.
The sporophyte is always the dominant and free-living generation.

With this information, we can conclude that seedless plants genetically alternate between generations.
