What do gametophyte produce during a plant life cycle?
The gametophyte produces gametes.
The diploid generation of the plant life cycle always?
produces spores! :)
In the life cycle of a plant what is the haploid phase that produces gametes by mitosis?
The plant life cycle shifts between haploid and diploid generations. Embryonic development is seen only in the diploid generation. The embryo is made by mixing of gametes, which are made only by the haploid generation. Dissimular from animals, plants, change between multicellular haploid and multicellular diploid periods in their lives. Gametes grow in the multicellular haploid gametophyte time of their life. Fertilization gives growth to any multicellular diploid sporophyte, and produces haploid spores through meiosis. This type of life cycle is called thhe haplodiplontic life cycle. It is different from the (our) diplonticlife cycle, in which only the gametes are in the haploid state.
What is a sporophyte?
The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis. A diploid form of a plant
What are the two stages of plant life?
Plants have what is called an alternation of generations in their life cycle. The two stages are called the sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation. The sporophyte generation is diploid (has pairs of chromosomes). It produces spores by meiosis (reduction division), so the spores are haploid (contain only one chromosome from each pair). The spores divide by mitosis to produce a multicellular, haploid gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (by mitosis) which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. This then develops into the sporophyte, completing the life cycle. The plants which we call mosses and ferns are the gametophyte generations. However conifers and flowering plants are the sporophyte generation of their life cycle. This is much easier to understand if you see a diagram.

Where do the gametes come from in the life cycle of a plant?
jametes come from the life cycle how because it help it grow? wrong. Gametes develop from the multicellular haploid gametophytes (Greek phyton, "plant"). Fertilization gives rise to a multicellular, diploid sporophyte that produces haploid spores via meiosis.
What is the main function of a mature sporophyte?
A mature sporophyte produces the spores. Likewise a mature gametophyte produces the gametes. The life cycle of the plant is completed by the alternation of these two generations.
The haploid phase of a plant that produces gametes by mitosis?
Chromosomes
What is a form of a moss plant that produces gametes?
Moss must grow close together and must have water to complete their life cycle. Gametophyte stage is dominant in the moss's life cycle where the eggs and sperm are produced. Mosses produce two kinds of gametes.
What generation in the plant life cycle has vascular tissue?

The generation of a plant responsible for producing gametes is the?
Pollen are produced in the anther of the stamen, which is the male part of the plant. The pollen is transferred to the ovule of the ovary (the female part of the plant). Both pollen and ovule are haploid gametes.
What is prothallus?
The small, greenish heart-shaped structure or gametophyte (n-haploid) of a fern that produces the male and female gametes for fertilization and spore formation which leads to the development of the sporophyte generation--(2n-diploid) -->the plant you see above ground is the sporophyte generation.
