Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tall ferns that we typically see in the tropics and temperate woodlands are sporophytes, which are the diploid phase of a fern's life cycle. Gametophytes are a small and short-lived phase of a fern's life cycle that are rarely visible without a microscope. Gametes and spores are reproductive cells that are produced by the gametophyte and sporophyte, respectively.
