Cone Function. Each coniferous tree produces both male and female cones. Male cones are much smaller and less showy than their female counterparts. During spring, pollen produced from the male cones is carried by the wind through the female cones fertilizing their egg cells and prompting them to produce seeds.dentification. Seeds are found in both coniferous and flowering plants. They range widely in size, from tiny, barely visible grains to large, bulbous nodules two inches or more in length. Seeds can be firm and fleshy, rough and woody, or hard and smooth.
Gymnosperms. Conifers are gymnosperms, meaning they do not produce flowers, but instead create seeds on a different transport catalyst. In conifers, this object is the cone. Cones can be male or female, and most conifers have both male and female cones on the same tree.The plant sends pollen from the male cones to the female cones' receptors using the wind. Once the pollen reaches the cone, the fertilized seed begins to form.n conifers, this object is the cone.
