Answer:

the gametophyte and sporophyte have the same genetic information but the gametophyte is haploid and sporophyte diploid in nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The heart shaped plant( gametophyte) produces male and female gametes which are haploid in nature. They fertilize forming an embryo. The embryo develops into a sporophyte which grows forming roots and leaves. This forms now the leafy fern plant. Both the gametophyte and sporophyte have the same genetic information but different genetic composition.
