haploid stage in the life cycle of plants which produces haploid gametesthrough mitosis

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants have two distinct stages in their lifecycle: the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The haploid gametophyte produces the male and female gametes by mitosis in distinct multicellular structures. Fusion of the male and females gametes forms the diploid zygote, which develops into the sporophyte.
Detailed explanation-2: -The haploid gametophyte produces the gametes, or sperm and egg, by mitosis. Remember, gametes are haploid, having one set of chromosomes. Then, the sperm fertilizes the egg, producing a diploid zygote that develops into the sporophyte, which of course, is diploid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The multicelluar haploid stage (the gametophyte) produces gametes via mitosis which fuse to form a diploid zygote.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitotic divisions within the gametophyte are required to produce the gametes. The diploid sporophyte results from the fusion of two gametes. Among the Plantae, the gametophytes and sporophytes of a species have distinct morphologies (in some algae they look alike).
Detailed explanation-5: -The gametophyte generation produces gametes by mitosis that are fertilized, undergoing sexual reproduction. The sporophyte generation produces spores by meiosis that are dispersed. Both gametophyte and sporophytes grow by mitosis.
