Question

Why might some conifers have tough cones that are dependent on the heat of a fire to open up and disperse their seeds?.

Answer 1

Answer:

Closed-cone pines have evolved to use the heat from a forest fire as a trigger to opening their cones. The extreme heat melts the resinous sap, allowing the cone to open and exposing the seeds to the outside world.
