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.
The Stigma
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
The transfer of pollen to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. The transfer of pollen is called pollenation.
The stamen is a flower's male reproductive portion. The location of the stamen is in the inner portion of a flower. The stamen area contains a flower's thin filaments as well as its anthers. The stamen area is responsible for producing pollen.
Fertilization in the gymnosperm life cycle occurs when the pollen grain lands on the female cone and the male gametes fertilize the egg cell within the ovule. This typically happens after the pollen grain has been carried by wind to the female cone.
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.
A male kauri cone is called a Catkin.Kauri trees can live for 200-2000yrs
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.
the zygote Edited answer: Pollen grains develop on the male cone.
The reproductive structure of a gymnosperm is the cone. The cone produces pollen or sperm cells that will later on fertilize a female plants eggs or anthers
Female cones produce seeds. They contain the ovules that are fertilized by pollen from male cones, leading to seed development.
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.
The Stigma
Angiosperm seeds are found inside the female cones. The cone is called a strobilus. The male cones distribute 1-2 million pollen grains. The female cones have a sticky secretion that catches the pollen and brings it into the female cone.
It's a lot of pollen, shaped as a cone... JKThe 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).
No, male cone can only produce microspores (Pollen grains).
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)
