apple trees reproduce with flowers and pine trees reproduce with cones
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Both are seed plants, but pine is a gymnosperm and apple is a flowering plant with two seed leaves, or a dicotyledonous angiosperm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pine trees are unable to produce flowers. Unlike the flowering plants that produce enclosed seeds, pine produces naked seeds. Naked seeds mean that they are not wrapped in fruit. Instead, they grow on the scales of a cone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pine Cones 101 Since gymnosperms do not flower, they do not form a fruit as an ovary for their seed. Their cone is a rigid vessel for the developing seed which rests on the top of a scale. When the cone is mature and dries out the scales will open, dropping seeds.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cones have a woody texture, and it helps to protect the seed. Flowers feature colorful petals, sepals (below-petal leaves), stamens, and pistils, and it plays a role in reproduction.
