Does sorus have gametophyte or sporophyte?
gametophyte
How have the sporophyte and gametophyte changed as plants have evolved?
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
Do the spores belong to the gametophyte or the sporophyte generation?
because
How does the gametophyte generation of a plant differ from the sporophyte generation?
In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. In fern, for example, the fern itself is the sporophyte. This organism produces spores that fall to the substrate below and grow into a separate organism called a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs in order to produce a new sporophyte which grows out of the gametophyte's body, destroying it. It is important to note that the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is dploid.
Does gametophyte generation depends on sporophyte generation in ferns?
It does not depending on sporophytes generation
Gametophyte and sporophyte?
Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid

It does not depending on sporophytes generation
What does the sporophyte grow out of?
In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
How are the fern sporophyte and gametophyte stage the same?
In reference to the sporophyte and gametophyte, are the stages of the plant's life cycle thus being the same.
Is the sporophyte stage of a moss much larger than the gametophyte stage?
Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
During the life cycle of a plant gametophyte is to n as sporophyte is to?
Basically, plants have two stages in their life cycle, they can appear as a gametophyte or a sporophyte.
