Similarities: Both cones and flowers are reproductive structures of plants, producing seeds for reproduction. They both contain reproductive organs such as pollen grains and ovules.
Differences: Cones are the reproductive structures of gymnosperms, while flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms. Cones are typically simpler in structure and are often woody, whereas flowers are more complex and varied in color and form.
Small pollen cones produce haploid microspores which develop into a pollen grain containing the male gametophyte. Large ovulate cones produce haploid megaspores which develop into female gametophytes. In flowers, stamens produce microspores that develop into pollen grains containing male gametophytes. Carpels make megaspores which develop into female gametophytes. Flowers are pollinated by insects; In gymnosperms pollination is wind dependent.This answer courtesy of Vincent Giamo aka the squat master,
False. Conifers are a group of seed-producing plants that do not produce flowers. They reproduce through cones instead of flowers.
No, flowering plants do not produce cones. Cones are reproductive structures found in gymnosperms such as conifers, while flowering plants reproduce using flowers.
No, conifers do not grow flowers. Instead, they reproduce with cones that contain seeds. The cone structure is distinct from the typical flower structures found in angiosperms.
Gymnosperms have cones and angiosperms have flowers/fruits
A cypress tree is a gymnosperm. Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants that do not have flowers or fruits. Cypress trees produce seeds in cones instead of flowers.
Flowers and cones are alike in that they are both produced by trees and both produce seeds for reproduction. Differences between the two are their appearance is quite different and the reproductive process is not the same.

cones have round bases
they both produce things like cones and flowers and both have annual rings of xylem in the stems.
round,circular, 3-D shapes
Conifers produce cones and not flowers.
* in cycas the stems are unbranched while in pinus the stems are branched. * in pinus male or female cones or strobili may be borne on the same tree while in cycas they are on different trees.
Both are evergreen softwoods and have needles and bear cones.
No
no
Ferns do not produce cones or flowers. They reproduce through spores released from structures called sporangia located on the underside of their fronds.
