Picture 13 - This is a picture of a gymnosperm cone. This cone is a ovulate cone to be specific and is a female cone. It produces seeds and are typically produced on the upper branches of the same tree that produced male cones, and their scales become woody.
Picture 14 - This is a picture of a pollen bearing cone. It is a male gymnosperm cone and it releases pollen that hopefully gets picked up by the wind and disperses it among the female cones.
