What do the moss life cycle and the fern life cycle have in common?

In both mosses and ferns, fertilization occurs when a haploid sperm joins a haploid egg. Their chromosome sets combine to form a diploid zygote, so “Fertilization produces a diploid cell” is the common feature. Double fertilization and fruit-protected seeds are traits of flowering plants, not mosses or ferns.
