No. Insects, much like ourselves, reproduce sexually. Therefore, you need a male and female gnat to produce offspring. Gnats, and many other insects, lay their eggs in fruit as it will provide nurishment to their larvae. This leads many to believe that the gnats themselves are produced by the fruit when the juveniles emerge.
