Spore and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. Under favourable conditions the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular gametophyte, which eventually goes on to produce gametes. Two gametes fuse to form a zygote which develops into a new sporophyte. This cycle is known as alternation of generations. The spores of seed plants, however, are produced internally and the megaspores, formed within the ovules and the microspores are involved in the formation of more complex structures that form the dispersal units, the seeds and pollen grains. The term "spore" derives
Development of Spore survive in a strange world, with elements of "Nintendogs". The mobile phone version of "Spore", called "Spore Origins", was based on the tide pool phase, in which players try to survive as a multicellular organism, with gameplay similar to "flOw". On March 6, 2008, an iPhone version was demonstrated at Apple's iPhone SDK press event, though there was no commitment to ship such a product given at that event. The iPhone-Spore demo made use of the device's touch capabilities and 3-axis accelerometer. Electronic Arts confirmed on March 31, 2008 that "Spore" would be receiving post-release expansion packs.
