Gametophyte and Sporophyte Generations
Step-by-step explanation:
- The sexual stage, called the gametophyte generation, produces gametes, or sex cells, and the abiogenetic stage, or sporophyte age, produces spores abiogenetically
- As far as chromosomes, the gametophyte is haploid (has a solitary arrangement of chromosomes), and the sporophyte is diploid (has a double set)
- All aquatic plants have alternation of generations. In mosses and their family members (Bryophytes), the haploid gametophyte is the predominant age, and the diploid sporophytes are sporangium-bearing stalks developing from the gametophytes
