Gymnosperms produce both male and female gametophytes on separate cones and rely on wind for pollination.

Explanation:

Gymnosperm flowers ( cones ) are often non conspicuous and difficult to spot because they are not out to attract flying pollinators.

During pollination , pollen grains are physically transferred from pollen cone to the ovule , being transferred by wind .
