Life Cycle

A sporophyte is an organism that produces spores, so therefore it is asexual and reproduces using meiosis. Sporophytes are also diploid while gametophytes are monoploid. Since they reproduces sexually (usually pollen or seeds) they will use mitosis which will then go to the gamete then to the zygote where it becomes diploid again and then back to sporophyte.
