Answer:

Small, uneven, fire resistant and unpleasant tasting leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chaparral biome has hot temperatures, droughts, high winds, and wildfires and thus the plants present in this biome need to have characteristics that will help them to survive these conditions.

The coyote brush has the following adaptations :

1. Small, uneven shaped leaves covered with a waxy coating to holds water during droughts.

2. The leaves are fire resistant as they have a chemical makeup which reduces their flammability.

3. The leaves have an unpleasant taste to keep animals away.
