The gymnosperms are heterosporous; they produce ppplod microspores and megaspores. The two kinds of spores are produced within sporangia that are borne on sprophyils which are arranged spirally along an axis to fanl hax or compact strobili or cones. The strobili bearing microsporangiate or male strobi1i. The milled derelop into a male gametophytic generation whicrospores highly reduced and is confined to only a limited which is of cells. This reduced gametophyte is called a pollen grain. The development of pollen grains take place within the microsporangia. The cones bearing megasporophylls with ovules or megasporangia are macrosporangiate or female strobili. The male female cones or strobili may be borne on the same tree (Pinus). However, in cycas male cones and megasporophylls are bome on different trees. differentiated from one megaspore mother cell is nucellus is protected by envelopes of the nucellus is protected by envelopes and the composite metre is called an ovile. The ovules are borne on megasporophylls which may be clustered to form the meiotically cones. The megaspore mother cell divides meiotically to form four megaspores. One of the megaspores enclosed within the megasporangium develops into a multicellular female gametophyte that bears two or more archegonia or female sex organs. The multicellular female gametophyte is also retained within megasporangium, in
