Bean plant Life Cycle Game Online

The life cycle of the pine tree is very different from that of other trees. Unlike most other plants, it alternates two generations of cones, called pollen cones and egg cones. The males are produced in the pollen cones that form the first generation, and the females produce the egg inside the ovule. The male gametophyte, called the megaspore, undergoes two divisions, one of which fertilizes the egg. The result is a small female gametophyte called a zygote, which is a diploid (two-nucleated) organism. This is the final stage of the life cycle of most pine species, but in bristlecone pine this process can take thousands of years.
The pine produces both male and female reproductive organs called sporophytes. The male strobilus produces pollen, which is then transferred to neighboring trees and produces new pine seeds. The female strobilus is the precursor to the pine cone. It is larger than the male and consists of modified leaf structures called stomata. The scale-like structure consists of two ovules.
The male pine cone contains a megasporangium in which there is a mother cell. It produces four megaspores, each of which develops into an archegonium. These two archegonium eggs are then released, and the male pine cone is released and becomes a mature sporophyte. The life cycle of the pine tree is quite fascinating. And you might even find a tree with a single seed in the middle of a rocky field. 
Check out the interactive game on this page to learn about the stages of a pine tree's life cycle. This biology game is free and can be used in the classroom or at home. Have fun dragging and dropping the different stages.
Pine: The pine tree is a coniferous tree or shrub. It belongs to the Pinaceae family, the only genus in the Pinoideae subfamily. It can grow up to 150 feet tall. Like most other conifers, it is a popular choice for building materials and is useful in many ways. Here are some facts about the pine tree. 
It is a deciduous conifer. A cone, which has five needles per fascicle, does not open until the branch is fully grown. When fully grown, the pine's slender scales resemble a wing, which it uses to propel itself in the air. Aside from their beautiful form, pines are excellent for a variety of landscaping applications. One common type of pine is the Monterey pine.
Most pines have thick bark. Others are thin. Their branches are arranged in pseudo-spirals, or tight spirals. They appear as a ring of branches radiating from the same point. Most pines form one whorl per year, but multinodal pines form two or more. Seedlings form a whorl of four to twenty-four leaves arranged alternately on the trunk of the tree.
The wood is white and the leaves are light green. It has edible seeds and its cones are usually long. It is one of the most valuable tree species in the world and some are native to the Mediterranean region. In many countries, pine is used as a building material and for other structures.
