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.
The spore bearing structures in club mosses and horsetails and the cones of gymnosperms called strobili.

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).
Gymnosperms were the first plants to reproduce using seeds, a significant evolutionary advancement over spore-based reproduction seen in earlier plants. They typically have exposed seeds on cones, allowing for more efficient reproduction and dispersal. This adaptation enabled gymnosperms to thrive in various environments and contributed to their success during the Mesozoic era. Examples of gymnosperms include conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes.
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.

False
A gymnosperm spore is a reproductive unit produced by gymnosperms, a group of seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, and ginkgoes. Unlike angiosperms, which produce seeds enclosed in fruits, gymnosperms produce naked seeds that develop from ovules on cone scales. Gymnosperm spores are typically haploid and develop into gametophytes, which subsequently produce gametes for fertilization. These spores play a crucial role in the life cycle of gymnosperms, facilitating reproduction and genetic diversity.

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.
