The 29 pages that link to Gametophyte, each with the reason it gives.

• SporangiumCompared with: Unlike the sporangium-bearing sporophyte, this generation produces gametes.

• SporophyteCompared with: It is the sporophyte’s alternating generation and produces gametes rather than spores.

• Alternation of generationsBroader topic: It forms the haploid half of the cycle and makes gametes.

• HaploidBroader topic: It shows how a haploid stage can be a whole organism, not just a cell.

• BryophyteBroader topic: This is the dominant, usually independent plant body in bryophytes.

• LycophyteRelated: Lycophyte spores develop into gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm.

• MossNarrower topic: The leafy moss plant is its dominant gametophyte stage.

• ArchegoniumRelated: Archegonia develop on the gametophyte and produce its female gamete.

• HeterosporyNarrower topic: The two spore types differ because each produces a distinct-sex gametophyte.

• Fertilization in plantsRelated: The egg and sperm arise within the gametophyte generation.

• Plant life cycleBroader topic: It grows from a spore and makes eggs or sperm.

• AntheridiumRelated: Antheridia develop on the gametophyte in plants that possess them.

• SphagnumRelated: The green Sphagnum plant is the dominant gametophyte stage.

• EmbryophyteRelated: This generation produces the gametes that unite to form an embryophyte embryo.

• MicrosporeNarrower topic: The microspore develops into the male member of this generation.

• IsoetesRelated: In Isoetes, gametophytes develop within the spores rather than forming conspicuous plants.

• SelaginellaRelated: Selaginella spores grow into gametophytes, which produce the sex cells needed for fertilization.

• LycopodiumRelated: A Lycopodium spore grows into a gametophyte that produces eggs and sperm.

• Plant reproductionBroader topic: Plant gametes form on this generation, which varies greatly among plant groups.

• LycopodiopsidaRelated: Lycophyte spores grow into gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm.

• SalvinialesNarrower topic: Separate male and female gametophytes develop from the order's two spore types.

• LycopodiaceaeRelated: Its often inconspicuous gametophyte develops from a spore and produces the gametes that begin a new sporophyte.

• PteridophyteRelated: In pteridophytes, this stage develops from a spore and bears sex organs.

• BrackenRelated: Bracken spores grow into gametophytes, where fertilization occurs.

• BryologyRelated: In bryophytes, this is the conspicuous, persistent stage examined in field and laboratory studies.

• BryopsidaRelated: The familiar green moss plant is the dominant gametophyte stage.

• DryopteridaceaeRelated: A tiny gametophyte develops from each viable spore before a new fern grows.

• OphioglossidaeRelated: Ophioglossidae gametophytes develop underground and often depend on fungi.

• Wilhelm HofmeisterRelated: His comparisons revealed how the gametophyte relates to the sporophyte in different plant groups.
