A gametophyte is an organism in the life cycle of a plant that produces haploid gametes. It is the sexual phase of the plant life cycle and is the first stage in the alternation of generations between the gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The gametophyte produces male and female gametes, which are haploid cells that fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the sporophyte generation, which produces haploid spores that divide to form the next generation of gametophytes.
In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant, free-living stage of the life cycle. It is the structure responsible for producing gametes and supporting fertilization. The gametophyte in bryophytes usually grows independently from the sporophyte, which is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition and support.
The alternate term for the gametophyte in angiosperms is the embryo sac. It is the female gametophyte within the ovule that produces the egg cell.
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
The green leafy moss plant is part of the gametophyte phase of the moss life cycle. Mosses alternate between a gametophyte stage (producing male and female gametes) and a sporophyte stage (producing spores).
The male gametophyte in an angiosperm is the stamen. The female gametophyte in an angiosperm is the pistil.This is completely wrong. The male gametophyte consists of the generative cell and the tube cell in the pollen grain. The female gametophyte is the 7-celled 8 nucleate embryo sac.
Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid
The answer is gametophyte.
It will divide to form the female gametophyte.
hehehe
Egg being a gamete develops inside gametophyte

Sorus is a structure found on the underside of fern leaves that contains the sporangia, which produce spores. The spores give rise to the gametophyte generation in ferns.
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.
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
in mosses why is the sporophyte stage dependent on the gametophyte stage
Rhizoids or root-like structures help anchor the gametophyte to the soil or substrate. These structures absorb water and nutrients from the environment to support the growth and development of the gametophyte.
