Answer 2

C) Most coniferous trees have both male and female cones.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Unlike flowering plants, conifers do not bear flowers. instead of flower they bear male and female cones.
• The male cone produces the pollen and the female cone contains ovule which develop into seeds.
• The reproductive cycle of a conifer begins in the spring when the male cone releases pollen in the wind and these pollen get trapped in the scales of female cones.
• These pollen goes through a resting period and then fertilizes the ovule.that matures into seed.
• The seeds of conifers are naked. i.e. not enclosed
