Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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,
