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.

What is a sporogamy?

Sporogamy refers to the formation of spores by the fusion of male and female spores. It generally takes place in the gut of the female anopheles mosquito.


Do gymnosperms have spores?

Yes, gymnosperms do produce spores. They reproduce using male and female spores, which develop into pollen grains and ovules, respectively. The male spores are typically produced in cones, while the female spores develop within ovulate cones. This spore-based reproduction is a key characteristic of gymnosperms, distinguishing them from flowering plants (angiosperms).


How does a conifers reproduce?

The Conifer has both male and female cones on the same plant. The plant reproduces when the male cones provide pollen, and the pollen blows over to the female cones during windy days.

Do Angiosperms have spore?

Yes, angiosperms have two types of spores. They have both a male (microspore) and a female (megaspore).


A conifer that has both male and female cones will produce many more pollen grains than ovules How does that help the conifer reproduce?

The wind usually scatters the pollen grains of conifers. The likelihood of pollen reaching female cones is increased when there are large amounts of pollen.


In conifers male and female reproductive structure is found in?

In conifers, male reproductive structures called male cones produce pollen, while female reproductive structures called female cones contain ovules. Pollen is transferred from male cones to female cones through wind or insects for fertilization to occur.

Is a fern reproduces through spores a fragment?

The spores of a fern are ONE step of its reproduction. This may form a pro-thallus, which when ripe will produce male and female parts. The male sperm of a pro-thallus is motile (!) and provided it is moist, it will fertilize the female seed. From this fertilization, a new fern will arise.


What structure directly precedes the development of both a male and female gametophyte?

The development of both a male and female gametophyte is preceded by meiosis, where a diploid sporophyte cell undergoes two rounds of division to produce haploid cells called spores. These spores then develop into the gametophytes through mitotic division.
