Seed travel allows the offspring of a plant to grow farther from their parents. This prevents them from competing with each other over resources.
Answer:
Explanation:
During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates genetic variation in offspring because the process randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly separates half of those chromosomes into each gamete. The two gametes then randomly fuse to form a new organism.
Answer:
The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.

The dependent variable in the experiment is the timing of a cricket's chirps. Thus, the answer is letter C. This variable is dependent on the temperature of the box in which the cricket was placed. The students want to know the relationship between this two variables.
