The gymnosperms produce megaspores and microspores. A microspore is the male spore and megaspore is the large female spore.

The microspore undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular male gametophyte. These male gametophytes are the pollen grains that are contained inside short pollen cones.

The megaspore is the large female spore that undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular female gametophyte that is housed in a large female cone.
