What does a sporophyte produce by meiosis?

1. A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage of a plant life cycle. 2. Specialized cells within it divide by meiosis. 3. Meiosis halves the chromosome sets, so the products are haploid. 4. Those haploid products are spores, and each grows into a gametophyte. 5. Gametes come later, made by the gametophyte rather than by the sporophyte. _Source: OpenStax Biology 1e (CC BY 4.0), Chs 10 and 11, section 11.2 Sexual Reproduction_
