well i am not for sure!??(: Male and female cones are reproductive parts in seed plants like gymnosperms; cone itself is not a plant.
The male gametophyte in an angiosperm is the stamen. The female gametophyte in an angiosperm is the pistil.This is completely wrong. The male gametophyte consists of the generative cell and the tube cell in the pollen grain. The female gametophyte is the 7-celled 8 nucleate embryo sac.
In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.
The function of the spore in gymnosperms is to serve as a reproductive structure that can develop into a gametophyte. The spore undergoes mitotic division to produce a multicellular gametophyte, which then produces the gametes (sperm or eggs). The fusion of these gametes gives rise to the development of the next generation of gymnosperms.
Gametes come from both the mother and the father. The mother's gamete is known as an egg and the father's gamete is known as a sperm.
Cycas plant has alternation of gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The main plant body is sporophyte and it bears the male cone and megasporophylls. The male and female gamentes are produced in the male cone and megasporophyll respectively. After pollination and fertilization of ovules the seeds are produced on megasporophylls. These seeds on maturity disperse and germinate to produce a new sporophyte. Male and female cycas plants grow separately.
Cone bearing plants do not depend on Insects, birds or mammals for the transfer of their male gametes or spores. The cone bearing plants are lower in evolutionary ladder than the flowering plants.
The spore.
The male gametophyte of a gymnosperm is a pollen grain
They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte that has an egg cell.
A gymnosperm

pollen grains are transported from the microsporangium (contained in the anther of an angiosperm flower, male cone of a coniferous plant, or male cone of other seed plants)
ALL pine trees are cone-bearing -that's where the pine-nuts come from. AND that is WHY they are classified as coniferous.(Coniferous means cone bearing.)
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.
