What occurs within the female cone of a pine tree?

meiOSis

The above answer is not correct. Rather, the author of this amendment just had that exact answer marked wrong in a practice midterm exam. The answers to the pertinent question were: " A) MeiOSis, B) Mitosis, C)Development, D) Fertilization, and E) All of the Above"

I can not post a link, but Carolyn Csanyi wrote an article tited exactly " What Occurs Within the Female Cone of a Pine Tree?" on the website homeguides.

I would suggest you look it up and read it for yourself, for it is very detailed. In this article she articulates all the events that occur between a female and male cone, specifying that the above correct answer is quite probably E) All of the Above.
