Conifer trees have two different kinds of cones. The pollen cones house the male reproductive cells. They produce pollen which is later transferred to the female cone to fertilize the seeds. The seed cone houses the female reproductive cells, which when pollinated become seeds.

Are there male and female cones?
Yes there are.
Do conifers produce seeds?
conifers will not produce seeds. they produce cones
Where do gymnosperm seeds develop?
Gymnosperms do not produce spore, they produce pollen and seeds. The seeds and pollen are both produced in cones and the seed is "naked", it is not enclosed in an ovary.
What is the seed bearing structure of a gymnosperm called?
The cone of a gymnosperm is the equivalent of the ovary of angiosperms. The seeds in the cone are naked, and receive pollen by wind action from the male equivalent of the stamen. In season, you'll often find dustings of sulphur-yellow pine pollen on the surface of water puddles.The gymno part comes from the Greek and means naked, hence similar words such as gymnast.
Do conifers seed or fruit?
Seed for conifers can be found in the cones.
How are pollen cones and seed cones are different?
Seed cones (female cones) are much larger than pollen cones (male cones).
What is difference between seed cones and pollen cones?
Pollen cones are the male pollen-producing cones, and seed cones are the female seed-producing cones in conifer trees.Seed cones are gymnosperms, which means the seeds are not enclosed within an ovary (in Greek, gymno is naked).
Is there pollen cones and seed cones on the same trees?
Yes, in case of Pinus pollen producing cones (male cones) and seed producing cones (female cones) are present on the same plant. Such plants are called monoecious.
Where gymnosperms produce all their sex cells?
In cones, female cones produce the seed and male cones produce the pollen
Sticky secretion on the scales of seed cones traps?
A sticky secretion on the scales of seed cones traps pollen grains. Structure is produced by a pollen grain that lands near an ovule is pollen tubes.
How is pine life cycle differentg from the fern and moss life cycle?
It is different because the reproduction is spread by the wind. The wind carries the pollen and the pollen fertilizes the seed.
Conifers produce what in cones?
Seed are produced in the cones. The female cone contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds.
Are there male and female cones?
Yes there are.
Do conifers produce seeds?
conifers will not produce seeds. they produce cones
What do male cones produce?
Male cones produce many pollen grains to enhance its reproductive rate & hence its evolutionary success
Pollen is produced by what type of cones?
female cones
Where do gymnosperm seeds develop?
Gymnosperms do not produce spore, they produce pollen and seeds. The seeds and pollen are both produced in cones and the seed is "naked", it is not enclosed in an ovary.
