Answer is (1) Gametophytes become larger as plants become more complex.
The whole life cycle of plants is very complex. But the greatest benefit it gives is the greater genetic control. And how does this happen? In the haploid stage, bad genes can be removed and the diploid stage allows for greater genetic diversity.
The two generations or life cycles that occur are called the sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation. When you speak in genetic terms, it is the rotation in between the haploid and diploid stages. This refers to the chromosomes within the plant cells.
