It's a lot of pollen, shaped as a cone... JK
The male cone (microstrobilus or pollen cone) is structurally similar across all conifers, differing only in small ways (mostly in scale arrangement) from species to species. Extending out from a central axis are microsporophylls (modified leaves). Under each microsporophyll is one or several microsporangia (pollen sacs).

Does a male or female cone produce seeds?
The female cone.
What is called when pollen is transferred from the male cone to the female cone in gymnosperm?
germination
What develops on the male cone?
the zygote Edited answer: Pollen grains develop on the male cone.
Inside what structure do the sperm of seed plants form?
In the stamen
Why do pine cones only grow at the top of an evergreen tree?
What you are seeing in upper part of the tree is the female cone. It is a large hardened, dark brown cone that is mostly referred to as a pine cone. The smaller, inconspicuous male cone (or pollen cone) grows either singly or in clusters, depending on the species. They are usually found on the lower branches. The male cones wither and die shortly after releasing their pollen in the spring.

What part of a female cone holds the pollen?
The Stigma
Can a male cone produce seeds?
No, male cone can only produce microspores (Pollen grains).
What is the structure that develops into a pollen grain?
First pollen falls from a male cone onto a female cone. In time a sperm cell and an egg cell join together in an ovule on the female cone
Where are pollen grains transported from?
pollen grains are transported from the microsporangium (contained in the anther of an angiosperm flower, male cone of a coniferous plant, or male cone of other seed plants)
When the wind carries pollen to a female cone what occurs?
Pollination.
What pine tree structure is responsible for the production of the pollen?
The cone.
What are the two cones names that the conifer has?
The answer is Pollen and the Sugar cone.
