GIVING BRAINLIEST Lodgepole pine trees produce seeds in cones. The cones open after being exposed to high temperatures created by wildfires. How does this adaptation help the lodgepole pine survive?

A) It allows the lodgepole pine tree to make more seeds in cones that are hard to open.
B) It creates more wildfires for the lodgepole pine tree to reproduce.
C) It makes the seeds travel and grow in areas where there are no wildfires.
D) It helps the lodgepole pine tree to protect the seeds and to reproduce.

D

Explanation:

A layer of resin and woody tissue sticks the cones' scales together. The seeds are locked in tight, and the cones can't open unless they're exposed to VERY high temperatures like the type of temperatures that fire provides. This shows they survive through exposing the seeds after forest fires.

D

Explanation:

A It allows the lodgepole pine tree to make more seeds in cones that are hard to open. IS WRONG B) It creates more wildfires for the lodgepole pine tree to reproduce. IS WRONG C) It makes the seeds travel and grow in areas where there are no wildfires. DEFINITLY NOT so that leaves it with D  It helps the lodgepole pine tree to protect the seeds and to reproduce.

i believe it's c. the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.

since eventually smaller beaks would have to find another source of food or even eventually just die out from the lack of food.
