Detailed explanation-1: -The sexual phase, called the gametophyte generation, produces gametes, or sex cells, and the asexual phase, or sporophyte generation, produces spores asexually. In terms of chromosomes, the gametophyte is haploid (has a single set of chromosomes), and the sporophyte is diploid (has a double set).

Detailed explanation-2: -The gametophytes produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Fusion of gametes (fertilization) produces a zygote. The zygote grows into the next generation of sporophyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gametophyte is the sexual phase in the life cycle of plants and algae. It develops sex organs that produce gametes, haploid sex cells that participate in fertilization to form a diploid zygote which has a double set of chromosomes.
