The sporophyte stage and the gameotophyte stage
F1 Generation
One possible reason that stands out is that the sporophyte phase has anadvantage over the gametophyte phase because it is diploid rather than haploid.Having two sets of genes can avoid expression of deleterious traits.The seed plant pattern of large sporophyte is a very effective system. Rememberthe key features:1. Large sporophyte nurtures the tiny female gametophytes.2. There are millions of tiny male gametophytes (pollen) that can be carriedgreat distances, either by wind or by animals.3. New sporophytes arise from very mobile, usually very tough, seeds thatcontain energy supply and tiny plant in suspended animation.
Two different forms a plant can have.
In plants, what is the diploid form called?
spore producing plant generation. The dominant generation in pteridophytes and higher plants and alternates with the gametophyte 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.

Second generation produced in mosses is sporophyte on the gametophytic plant body.
sporophyte and gametophye. since plants have alternation of generation, both are multicellular (haploid and diploid)
The sporophyte stage and the gameotophyte stage
gymnosperms
The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis. A diploid form of a plant
The main plant body is gametophytic as in case of Bryophytes
The sporophyte generation is the result of the fusion of gametes. :)
