Why are gymnosperms no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses?

Biology
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]2 years ago
7 0

Gymnosperms are no longer restricted to moist environments, as are ferns and mosses because they have evolved to produce non-flagellated pollens that do not require water or moisture to reach the egg whereas ferns and mosses have flagellated sperm that needs moisture to swim towards the egg.

Another major evolutionary adaption in gymnosperms is the production of seeds instead of spores since seeds contain their own nutrition in the form of endosperm, seeds can travel large distances through wind or animals and can germinate when they find suitable conditions. Seeds can remain dormant for several years whereas spores have a shorter lifespan.

Gelneren [198K]

The correct answer is (c) the moon' gravity

The moon's gravity causes oceans to bulge. The moon's gravitational power is responsible for the rising and falling tides.The moon affects the ocean on the sides of the planet facing and facing away from it which causes oceans to bulge away from the earth. On one side ocean bulges away from the earth as planet is being pulled towards the moon and on the other side the ocean bulges towards the moon. Bulges facing towards the moon is high tides and bulges not facing towards moon is low tides.
