Sporophytes reproduce with spores, while gametophytes reproduce sexually
Of the two, it is the gametophyte is larger than the sporophyte.

The life cycle of nonvascular plants includes an alternation of generations between a gametophyte and a sporophyte. The gametophyte generation produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis, which then fuse to form a zygote that develops into the sporophyte generation through mitosis. The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis that develop into new gametophytes.

How does the sporophyte generation of a plant differ from a 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.


Do the spores belong to the gametophyte or the sporophyte generation?

Spores belong to the sporophyte generation in the plant life cycle. They are reproductive structures that develop from sporangia on the sporophyte and give rise to the gametophyte generation through germination.


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.


The lifecycle of plants alternates between?

a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage..


In which group of plants are both the sporophyte and gametophyte free- living?

In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns, both the sporophyte and gametophyte stages are free-living. The sporophyte is the dominant stage, while the gametophyte is usually a small, independent structure that produces gametes.


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.
