two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte.

Insect haploid
Diploid (except for your gametes which are haploid).
Haploid reproductive cells are called gametes or sex cells if human gametes like human body cells were produced through mitosis each gametes would have 46 chromosomes.
Gametes are by definition haploid
They are haploid, but the chromosomes are still in duplicated form.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
The haploid condition is desirable in gametes because two haploid cells come together to make one full cell. If the gametes were not haploid then the organism would have too many chromosomes.

Gametes are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis. They unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which divides to form the embryo, and is the first cell of the new offspring of the organisms that produced the gametes. For example, human females produce ova, the female gametes, and human males produce sperm cells, the male gametes. During fertilization, one ovum and one sperm cell unite to form a zygote which divides by mitotic cell division, forming the embryo. The baby that is produced is not considered an offspring of the gametes, but an offspring of the mother and father that produced it.
Any plant that produces haploid gametes can be said to undergo sexual reproduction. The process involves the "joining" of two haploid gametes to form a diploid embryo (or zygote). Pretty much all plants that produce flowers (Angiosperms) or cones (Gymnosperms) produce pollen and eggs (which are the haploid gametes).

gametes
Gametophytes produce cells that undergo mitosis to produce gametes that fuse to form a zygote.
