Question

this diagram shows the life cycle of a pine tree. what happens after a female cone is fertilized? the fertilized cone produces pollen seeds grow inside the fertilized cone

Explanation:

To determine what happens after a female cone is fertilized, we analyze the pine tree life cycle diagram and botanical knowledge. Male cones produce pollen, which fertilizes female cones. After fertilization, the female (now fertilized) cone develops seeds inside it. The option "the fertilized cone produces pollen" is incorrect because pollen is produced by male cones, not fertilized female cones.

Answer:

seeds grow inside the fertilized cone
