Seed Plants. The sporophyte is also the dominant generation in seed plants. Seed plants are vascular plants that produce seeds and include some nonflowering plants (like pine trees) and flowering plants (like oak trees and roses). So when you see any of these plants, you are looking at the sporophyte. sporophyte is created by sexual reproduction of the gametophyte generation. Gametophytes make haploid unicellular gametes, or sperm and eggs. When a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell this is called fertilization. It creates a unicellular diploid zygote.
In the spermatophytes, the seed plants, the sporophyte is the dominant multicellular phase; the gametophytes are strongly reduced in size and very different in morphology. The entire gametophyte generation, with the sole exception of pollen grains (microgametophytes), is contained within the sporophyte.The life cycle of a dioecious flowering plant (angiosperm), the willow, has been outlined in some detail in an earlier section (A complex life cycle).he entire gametophyte generation, with the sole exception of pollen grains (microgametophytes), is contained within the sporophyte.
