Detailed explanation-1: -In the gametophyte phase, which is haploid (having a single set of chromosomes), male and female organs (gametangia) develop and produce eggs and sperm (gametes) through simple mitosis for sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -The gametophyte produces structures known as antheridia and archegonia, which produce the male and female gametes respectively. Collectively these structures are known as gametangia.
Detailed explanation-3: -The gametophyte is the multicellular haploid stage of the plant life cycle. Gametophytes produce gametes (eggs and sperm). Gametophytes can be unisexual producing only eggs or sperm, or bisexual, producing both. In non-seed plants, eggs are produced in archegonia and sperm is produced in antheridia.
