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.
A conceit in literature is essentially a form of metaphor. We can think of it as an extended metaphor. A conceit may begin with a juxtaposition, the side-by-side comparison of two unlikely concepts, but it always extends itself beyond that to compare from multiple angles.
