Segregation distortion favours genes with high fitness in thegametophyteand the young zygote, but does not necessary affect genes that control fitness components later in life.
From theCambridge English Corpus
All land plants, and most multicellular algae, have life cycles in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte phase alternates with a multicellular haploidgametophytephase.
