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).
What else can I help you with?
Do only gymnosperms reproduce with spores?
No, gymnosperms do not reproduce with spores. Gymnosperms reproduce through seeds, which are typically produced in cones or sometimes in fleshy fruit-like structures. Spores are used in the reproduction of some non-seed plants like ferns and mosses.
What are non-flowering plants that do not reproduce by spores?
Non-flowering plants that do not reproduce by spores include ferns and gymnosperms like conifers. These plants reproduce through seeds rather than spores, with ferns producing seeds in structures called sori and gymnosperms producing seeds in cones.
A plant that produces a naked seed?
Actually Pteridophytes are ferns and the like. They have spores. I think Gymnosperms is the term you're thinking of. It comes from the Greek for naked seed.
What is spore of gymnosperm?
The spores of gymnosperms are reproductive structures produced in the sporophyte generation. These spores are released from specialized structures called sporangia and develop into male and female gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm for fertilization. Gymnosperms include plants like conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
What is the sporophyte generation in gymnosperms?
In gymnosperms, the sporophyte generation is the dominant and most recognizable stage of the plant life cycle. It is diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes, and is responsible for producing spores through meiosis in structures called sporangia. These spores develop into the gametophyte generation, which is usually reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition. Overall, the sporophyte stage is crucial for the growth and reproduction of gymnosperms, as it produces the seeds that ensure the continuation of the species.
What pollinates gymnosperms?
Spores are released
What plants are plants that reproduce with spores?
gymnosperms
Do only gymnosperms reproduce with spores?
No, gymnosperms do not reproduce with spores. Gymnosperms reproduce through seeds, which are typically produced in cones or sometimes in fleshy fruit-like structures. Spores are used in the reproduction of some non-seed plants like ferns and mosses.
What is the dominant generation in gymnosperms and how does it contribute to the reproductive cycle of these plants?
The dominant generation in gymnosperms is the sporophyte, which produces spores through meiosis. These spores develop into gametophytes, which produce gametes through mitosis. The gametes then fuse to form a zygote, which develops into a new sporophyte, completing the reproductive cycle of gymnosperms.
What are non-flowering plants that do not reproduce by spores?
Non-flowering plants that do not reproduce by spores include ferns and gymnosperms like conifers. These plants reproduce through seeds rather than spores, with ferns producing seeds in structures called sori and gymnosperms producing seeds in cones.
What kind of plants reproduce with spores and which kind of plants reproduce with seeds?
Plants belonging to bryophytes and Pteridophytes etc. reproduce with spores and thoseof gymnosperms and angiosperms reproduce with seeds.
What are the spores bearing structures in the club mosses and horsetails and the cones of gymnosperms called?
The spore bearing structures in club mosses and horsetails and the cones of gymnosperms called strobili.
How does a sunflowers life begin?
It starts with a seed or spores and slowly turns into maturity. It germinates later. Angiosperms are flowering seeds, so it is covered by a fruit such as apples. Gymnosperms are unprotected seeds,so there are less possibilities to reproduce than angiosperms. Gymnosperms are usually all spores and there are more gymnosperms than angiosperms because of the possibility of growing.

What is spore of gymnosperm?
The spores of gymnosperms are reproductive structures produced in the sporophyte generation.

Gymnosperms include plants like conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
Do all non-flowering plants have seeds?
No, the majority produce by spores, only the gymnosperms produce by (naked) seed
Where are the spores in gymnosperms found?
In gymnosperms, spores are found in specialized structures called cones or strobili. Male cones produce microspores that develop into pollen grains, while female cones contain megaspores that develop into ovules. These ovules eventually mature into seeds after fertilization, completing the reproductive cycle.
