Question

Conifers produce
A) pollen in flowers and seeds in cones.
B) only flowers.
C) both seeds and pollen in cones.
D) only seeds in cones.
E) only pollen in cones.

Accepted Answer

Conifers are gymnosperms, meaning their seeds are not enclosed in a protective fruit. Instead, they produce both seeds and pollen in cones. The male cones produce pollen which is then carried by the wind to female cones, where fertilization and seed production occur.
