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).
What else can I help you with?
What is called when pollen is transferred from the male cone to the female cone in gymnosperm?
The transfer of pollen from the male cone to the female cone in gymnosperms is called pollination. This process leads to the fertilization of the ovule and the development of seeds.
What develops on the male cone?
the zygote Edited answer: Pollen grains develop on the male cone.
Does a male or female cone produce seeds?
Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
What is the name of the kauri tree male cone?
A male kauri cone is called a Catkin.Kauri trees can live for 200-2000yrs
How is pollen transferred from the male to the female cone?
By various means, depending on the species. In some, bees and other insects go for the honey and in doing so get pollen on them which they then transfer to another flower when they visit that. In others, wind blows the pollen from the anthers (the male part) to the stigma (the female part). In others, the anthers bend over and touch the stigma. All sorts of methods.
Why is it called a pollen cone?
It is called a pollen cone because it is a structure on certain plants that produces and releases pollen, the male reproductive cells. The cone shape of this structure helps to protect and efficiently disperse the pollen.

Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
What transfer of pollen from a male cone to a female cone is called what?
The transfer of pollen from a male cone to a female cone is called pollination. In gymnosperms, such as conifers, this process typically occurs through wind, which carries the pollen grains from the male cones to the ovules in the female cones. Successful pollination can lead to fertilization and the development of seeds.
What is the name of the kauri tree male cone?
A male kauri cone is called a Catkin.Kauri trees can live for 200-2000yrs
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).
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)
What are the two cones names that the conifer has?
The answer is Pollen and the Sugar cone.
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.
