ViviMale pine cones, also known as pollen cones, produce pollen containing male gametes. Female pine cones, also known as seed cones, contain ovules that, when fertilized by pollen, develop into seeds. Male cones are typically smaller and produce pollen, while female cones are larger and produce seeds.

In conifers male and female reproductive structure is found in?
In conifers, male reproductive structures called male cones produce pollen, while female reproductive structures called female cones contain ovules. Pollen is transferred from male cones to female cones through wind or insects for fertilization to occur.
Are there male and female cones?
Yes there are.
What are the reproductive structures of genosperms?
The reproductive structures of gymnosperms are called cones. Gymnosperms produce male cones that contain pollen grains and female cones that contain ovules. Pollen grains from the male cones fertilize the ovules in the female cones to produce seeds.
How can you tell the difference between male and female"?
The difference between male and female can be determined by physical characteristics such as reproductive organs, secondary sexual characteristics, and genetic makeup.
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.
