Gametophytes are haploid plants developing from the spores and giving rise to the sex organs on them. After fertilization (i.e. union of a male gamete with egg) the zygote is formed, which is diploid in nature. Further development of zygote results into the sporophyte. In lower plants like Liverworts the main plant body is gametophytic in nature and sporopytes are dependent on gametophytes. during the course of evolution gametophytic body got successively reduced and became dependent on sporophyte. the later got enhanced and independent.

∙ 13y agoA gametophyte is the haploid, multicellular phase of plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations, with each of its cells containing only a single set of chromosomes.
A gamete is a sex cell used to transfer half (haploid) of the genetic material of its corresponding producer to a sex cell of the producers opposite sex.
