Algae and plant life-cycle. Computer illustration showing the life stages found in all land plants and most multicellular algae. From left: sporophytes produce spores, which develop into gametophytes. Mature gametophytes produce male or female gametes, which fuse (fertilization) to form zygotes. The zygotes develop into a new sporophyte, which in turn produce their own spores.
