Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Difference between sporophyte and gametophyte -

• Sporophyte is diploid while gametophyte is halpoid.
• Sporophyte is produced by mitosis while gametophyte is produced by meiosis.
• Sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores while gametophyte undergoes mitosis to produce gametes.
• Sporophyte is involved in asexual reproduction and gametophyte is involved in sexual reproduction.
• Sporophytes are seen in pteridophytes, angiosperms, gymnosperms. Gametophyte are seen in bryophytes and algae.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
