Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gymnosperm Sporophytes Sporophytes produce the haploid stage of the plant by undergoing meiosis, which results in a single pair of chromosomes for each generated cell. Meiosis ends with a megaspore or microspore, which develop into megagametophytes and microgametophytes respectively through mitosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gymnosperms are sporophytes (a plant with two copies of its genetic material, capable of producing spores ). Their sporangia (receptacle in which sexual spores are formed) are found on sporophylls, plated scale-like structures that together make up cones.
