Definition of Gametophyte Alternation of generations is a type of life cycle found in all plants and some algae species. This process involves a multicellular diploid generation called a sporophyte and a multicellular haploid generation called a gametophyte. Diploid means having two sets of chromosomes in your cells and is usually written as '2n'.
Conceit Definition. Conceit is a figure of speech in which two vastly different objects are likened together with the help of similes or metaphors. Conceit develops a comparison which is exceedingly unlikely but is, nonetheless, intellectually imaginative.
Traditionally the poet seeks to make the rhymes in the seset as different as possible from the two quatrains. (cf. Petrarch's Sonnet # 61) Conceit: an elaborate and surprising comparison between two apparently dissimilar things. Metaphor/ Simile: a comparison of two unlike objects or an idea and an object.
