Detailed Solution

The plant life cycle exhibits alternation of generation where the diploid multicellular sporophyte forms, and haploid haploids are reduced to gametophyte celled gametophyte by meiosis.

The diploid sporophyte undergoes sporic meiosis to form haploid spores. Spores divide by mitosis to form a haploid gametophyte.

The haploid plant body produces gametes by mitosis. Gametes undergo fusion.

Zygote is the product of fertilization.

Zygote undergoes mitosis and forms diploid sporophyte and is formed in plants by mitosis.
