Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dominant stage in the life cycle of tracheophyte plants (vascular plants such as ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) is the sporophyte generation. This is the stage where the plant produces its spores through meiosis, which then develop into the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte generation, in turn, produces gametes (sperm and eggs) which then unite during fertilization to produce the sporophyte generation again. However, the sporophyte generation is bigger and stronger than the gametophyte generation, and ultimately dominant throughout the life cycle.
