Every insect pollinator is adapted to deliver the pollen from anther of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower.  

<h3><u> Explanation:</u></h3>

This adaptation is very essential in pollination of flowers. If new pollinators are used then the pollen will be delivered to the stigma of a different species which may lead to only cross pollination.

If this niche marketing of the flower to specific pollinators is not present then fruits of the same species will not form. Each plant species has a selective pollinators based on the floral scent.

Which best explains how binary fission contributes to the genetic continuity of a population? A Binary fission maintains genetic
kozerog [31]

Answer:

B Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Explanation:

Genetic continuity ensures that genetic information is passed from one generation to another in correct way so that the resultant progeny has the complete set of genes required for survival. For example, at the end of mitosis, daughter cells should have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell.

Binary fission is a method of reproduction in some organisms like bacteria. It is an asexual mode of reproduction in which the parent cell splits into daughter cells without the process of fusion with another cell. It still maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell and thus have same number of chromosomes and type of genes.

Match the human activity and how it increases the greenhouse affect
laiz [17]

Answer:

1. primary cause of human-created carbon emissions = burning fossil fuels

2. destroys natural carbon sinks leading to more carbon dioxide in the air = deforestation

3. emits methane from decomposing matter = waste disposal in landfills

Explanation:

1. "Fossil fuels" are <em>nonrenewable resources</em> that are considered essential for the operation of many factories and industries. <em>Burning them accounts for most of the carbon emissions on Earth</em>, and this leads to<em> "global warming."</em>

2. "Forests" are considered "carbon sinks" because they have a role of <u><em>absorbing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere</em></u>. Cutting down the trees (deforestation) makes forests barren. It then leads to more carbon dioxide in the air.

3.<em> Waste disposals in landfills contribute to the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere.</em> Methane is considered a <em><u>potent greenhouse gas</u></em> that affects people's health.
