Plant Life Cycle

The sporophyte stage in plants produces spores through meiosis.
The gametophyte stage in plants has a haploid (1n) ploidy level.
Bryophytes, a group of non-vascular plants, have the gametophyte stage as their dominant stage.
The alternation of generations in plants can be best described as a cycle where a diploid sporophyte generation alternates with a haploid gametophyte generation.
The unique nature of plant life cycles is called alternation of generations.
In contrast to animals, plants have an alternation of generations, where a diploid generation produces haploid spores, which then develop into a haploid generation that produces gametes, whereas animals have a single diploid generation that produces gametes.
The gametophyte stage in the plant life cycle is haploid (1n).
The sporophyte stage in the plant life cycle is diploid (2n).
The sporophyte stage in the plant life cycle produces spores.
The gametophyte stage in the plant life cycle produces gametes.
