Question 1 2 / 4 pts Plants have sporophyte or gametophyte alternate generation life cycles. Contrast the sporophyte and gametophyte stages of a moss and a ponderosa pine. Your Answer: Gametophytes are generally found to be independent while the sporophyte always depends upon the gametophyte. additionally, contrary to the sporophytes, gametophytes develops prominent structure upon plants. That is diploid sporophyte is much smaller and attached to the gametophyte, which makes up the main plant (the green moss or liverwort).
