Gametes are produced by meiosis. If the male and female gametes are produced by two different individuals, sexual reproduction combines inherited

Gametophytes reproduce by forming male and female gametes via mitosis. When the female egg and male sperm gametes fuse, they produce a diploid zygote which develops into a sporophyte.
