There is no set number of male cones that can be found in a cluster. Unlike female cones, which are usually single, there can be large numbers of male cones in cluster.

because some of the cones are male cones, and some of the cones are female cones. the male cones produce the pollen and sperm, and the female seeds contain the seeds.

Yes, the wind can often carry pollen from male cones to female cones in gymnosperms.
Seed cones (female cones) are much larger than pollen cones (male cones).

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.
Ye, both male and female cones are produced
Pine trees have cones. There are male cones, which are smaller (about 1-5 cm), and female cones, which are larger (3-60 cm). The male cones contain pollen. The female cones have ovules, which become seeds when fertilized by pollen from a male cone.
Ye, both male and female cones are produced
Male cones are smaller, do not open, and are located on the lower part of the tree. Females are the opposite; big, open, and located higher on the tree.
