The term "plants" is taken here to mean the Archaeplastida, i.e. the glaucophytes, red and green algae and land plants. Alternation of generations occurs in almost all multicellular red and green algae, both freshwater forms (such as Cladophora) and seaweeds (such as Ulva).

[28] Genomic duplication and triplication of the gene appear to be a rare cause of Parkinson's disease, although more common than point mutations. [29]
