Answer 2

thank it really did:) i went with the sporophytes grow directly from the gametophyte

Answer 3

I'm not sure if I agree with that answer... the sporophyte is the actual tree, and that doesn't grow out of a gametophyte. It grows out of a seed, right? A seed contains an embryo that's created by gametes that were produced by male and female gametophytes, so that's a few steps removed.

Answer 4

yeah you were right i got it wrong sorry
