Expert Solution
Step 1

A) Fertilization: the haploid gametes from male gametophyte and female gametophyte i.e. sperm and egg respectively fuses to form a diploid zygote, this fertilization occurs inside the female gametophyte.

B) Growing Young Sporophyte (2n) : The diploid zygote divides by mitosis, and starts growing into a diploid Sporophyte.

C) Dispersal of spores: The Sporophyte grows and and form a capsule like structure called as sporangium, it consists of haploid spores produced by meiotic division.

There are different spores for both male and female gametophytes.

D) Haploid spores grows into protonema: when the haploid spores are released through the sporangium, they are carried by air and when they came in contact with damp soil they began to grow.
