Answer:
The gametophyte produces the haploid gametes
Step-by-step explanation:
Ferns are a group of lower plants that also undergo the ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS in their reproductive life cycle. The plant consists of the SPOROPHYTE and GAMETOPHYTE. The sporophyte is a diploid plant body that produces the haploid spores via meiosis. These spores are released on the sporangium and grow into a haploid GAMETOPHYTE.
The gametophyte produces the haploid GAMETES i.e. male gametophyte (antheridium) produces sperm while female gametophyte (archegonium) produces eggs, which undergo fertilization to produce a diploid zygote that develops into the sporophyte. The cycle begins again.
