Reproductive structures of gymnosperms are called?
Correct Answer:
Cones
Explanation:
Gymnosperms reproduce using cones, also called strobili, as their reproductive structures. These cones can be male, bearing pollen, or female, housing ovules on their scales; after pollen reaches an ovule and fertilization occurs, seeds form on the cone. The zygote is the fertilized cell, not the structure itself, the ovule is the structure inside the cone that becomes a seed, and pollination is the event of pollen transfer. So, the reproductive structures are cones.
