jus goto the above site you will getthe whole details with pictures...

A sporophyte (diploid) phase produces haploid spores by meiosis;

A spore grows by mitosis into a gametophyte, which typically consists of a photosynthetic prothallus

The gametophyte produces gametes (often both sperm and eggs on the same prothallus) by mitosis

A mobile, flagellate sperm fertilizes an egg that remains attached to the prothallus

The fertilized egg is now a diploid zygote and grows by mitosis into a sporophyte (the typical "fern" plant).

hope this helped you ;)
