∙ 13y agothis is because the conifers are very large and have a strong structure. this way they release more pollen and sometimes even larger pollen!!

∙ 7y agobecause the male cones produce so many pollen grains by the sperm of seed plants do not need to swim to the female part of a plant

Why do conifers need 2 types of cones to form seeds?
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.
What plants produce separate male and female cones that produce microspores and megaspores that develop into male and female gametophytes?
All the cyacads and conifers
What two structures help conifers to reproduce?
Conifers develop male and female cones for sexual reproduction and produce seeds on female cones
Does the wind often carry pollen from male cones to female cones in gymnosperms?
Yes, the wind can often carry pollen from male cones to female cones in gymnosperms.
What are the similarities and differences between cones and flowers?
they are similar because they both have seeds and sharp hair
Where gymnosperms produce all their sex cells?
In cones, female cones produce the seed and male cones produce the pollen
Do male pine cones produce seeds?
no they produce pollen
What structures do gymnosperms produce?
male and female cones
Why do conifers need 2 types of cones to form seeds?
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.
What type of plant produce the cones?
Conifers produce cones. The cone is like a flower. There are male cones and female cones, The male flowers open first and are usually open higher on the plant than the female cones. Wind takes the pollen where it needs to go.
What reproductive structures do gymnosperms produce?
male and female cones
What do cones do?
Male pine cones produce pollen that contains sperm cells. Female cones produce 2 seeds per scale after they are pollinated and then fertilized by the pollen grains.
What do male cones and the male parts of a flower produce?
Pollen, which is the equivalent of sperm cells.
How does gymnosperms pollinate?
Gymnosperms pollination occurs after the micro spores are released from the male cone. They travel by wind until they get stuck to a female cone due to a sticky resin. Once stuck a pollen tube is grown and pollination occurs
What do conifers have instead of flowers?
Conifers produce male and female cones
WHAT IS THE Difference between male and female pine 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.
What plants produce separate male and female cones that produce microspores and megaspores that develop into male and female gametophytes?
All the cyacads and conifers
