These spores develop into a gametophyte. These spores and the resulting gametophyte have only half of the total complement of chromosomes.
The gametophyte produces male or female gametes (or both), in a process called mitosis.

The fern gametophyte has both sexes present and is referred to as a prothallium. Prothallia develop from spores shed from the underside of the sporophyte leaves.

gametophyte -- The haploid stage in the life cycle of an organism undergoing alternations of generations. The gametophyte is multicellular and mitotically produces gametes. In plants, the gametophyte nourishes the zygote and young sporophyte.

(guh-mee-toh-fite)
The multicellular haploid form in organisms undergoing alternation of generations, which mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation.

Gametophyte
: The haploid, gamete-forming (sexual) generation in plants with
alternation of generations
. Typically it is produced from a haploid spore. See also
sporophyte
.
Full article >>>

The gametophyte generation begins with a spore produced by meiosis. The spore is haploid, and all the cells derived from it (by mitosis) are also haploid.

In these the gametophyte stage is completely reduced, and the sporophyte begins life inside an enclosure called a seed, which develops while on the parent plant, and with fertilisation by means of pollen grains.
Full article >>>

The spores germinated normally and grew into diploid gametophytes. These did not appear to produce antheridia. Nonetheless, a subsequent generation of tetraploid sporophytes was produced.
