Definition
| In organisms (plants and some algae) that have alternation of generations, the multi-cellular haploid form that produces haploid gametes by mitosis. Te haploid gametes unite and develop into sporophytes. |

Term
|
Definition
| In the life cycle of a plant or alga undergoing alteration of generations, a haploid cell produced in the sporophyte by meiosis. A spore can divide by mitosis to develop into a multicellular haploid individual, the gametophyte, without fusing with another cell. |
