i'm talking about the flame it's self, let's just say, burning wood, the flame coming off of a piece of burning wood.

Well, fire by definition is a chemical process called oxidation. It isn't a substance like water, air, or metal. Usually when we say that something conducts electricity, we mean that a particular substance can conduct electricity (i.e. allow the flow of electrons).
So your question isn't exacly worded correctly. If you had asked "does oxidation facilitate the flow of electrons from one substance to another?" then it may be possible to provide an answer, which would be "no", it doesn't.

Yes a flame will conduct electricity, it also is a rectifier changing ac current to dc

Yes. I recall a physics demonstration back in my college days (around 1967) where sound was produced from a pair of 'speakers' made from a Bunsen burner flame and the audio output wires were placed in the flame.

I think so this is the answer.For the fire to take place,a condition called Combustion is required.What is combustion ?Combustion takes place only in the presence of air&oxygen.Do u think this is gonna conduct electricity.

YES
Flames can conduct electricity, as a small portion of any fire is ionized. This has been demonstrated in the laboratory and also in large wildfires that occur in the vicinity of power lines. This ability to conduct electricity is due to its partially plasmatic nature.

Under certain conditions, YES!

great question and i surely dont know but, my first thought is that they are almost the same thing. one being polarized and the other not.
cant wait to see an answer form someone who does know.

Depends on what's burning.
