Describe the role of the gametophyte and the sporophyte in the plant reproductive cycle.

Question

Short answer please. (1-3 sentences)

Thank you!

Answer 1

The gametophyte is the haploid life phase of the plant which produces a haploid gamete. This haploid gamete combines with another haploid gamete from another gametophyte to produce a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte then produces haploid gametes which form the gametophytes on their own.
