Fern has two life stages, haploid and diploid, that alternate between two generations, the gametophyte and sporophyte generations, to complete its life cycle. A single spore grows into a gametophyte that produces gametes, and when fertilized generates the sporophyte plant. The dominant stage in the fern life cycle is the sporophyte plant. The gametophyte and sporophyte have a dependent relationship where the gametophyte produces the sporophyte.

haploid and deiploid. It goes through a two generations to complete the cycle which is called the alternative generation. Fern came from a single spore where the spores become gametophytes that produces male gametes and an egg structure. When it is fertilized, the gametophyte generates a sporophyte which is the fern plant. What is the dominant stage of the fern life cycle? What is the relationship of fern gametophyte and sporophyte?
The dominant stage of the fern is the
sporophyte. The life cycle of a fern has 2 stages or generations which are gametophyte and sporophyte. Gametophyte has a dominant haploid stage in the life cycle and is usually associated with mycorrhizal fungi. While sporophyte is entirely dependent on gametophyte and is an unbranched diploid stage in the life cycle of the Bryophytes.
