well seed cones are very similar to pine cones they both haves seeds and pine needles... you cant see the needles cause theyre tiny.
since pine cones can become pine trees, the automatic answer is yes. if they were not composed of chemicals of life, it would be impossible or at least improbable for the life inside to grow into a pine tree. hope this helps, ~KDA~

The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
