Best Answer

The female spores of a conifer are called megaspores or macrospores. Megaspores develop into a female gametophyte, producing egg cells. Male spores of a conifer are called microspores and are formed from meiosis. Microspores develop into the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
