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

Biology

erastovalidia [21]2 years ago

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.

Radda [10]
<span>I belive the answer is D. Burbank's process did not involve environmental pressures to shape the outcome. 

Burbank process is similar to natural selection because he will select the potato based on some traits. The trait would be big potato and resistant to disease. The genetic makeup will also favor those with the selected trait. This process should be faster.</span>

Digiron [165]

Answer and Explanation:

My first response would be that it is not a good strategy to speculate things negatively in the very begining even when you have not tried it. We can definitely go for alternative drugs in case it doesn't fit to Jim's metabolic functioning and physiology. However, it is also possible that the drug would help Jim. Everybody is different when it comes to side effects of a particular drug. Some people even don't show any side effects for one particular drug whereas others show mild or significant concerns. Therefore, I would suggest her to reconsider her decision and try chlorpromazine as prescribed. After all, it is Schizophrenia and you cannot simply ignore it. Such negligence could worsen the situation for Jim and you all.

They become well organized into tissue such as skin and other organs.

When the hare population increases, what happens to the lynx population? Why?
Kamila [148]
 <span>The lynx population will increase. Then the hare population will drop because they're being eaten by all the lynxes and so the lynx population will drop too because they won't have much food. These things can be modeled with differential equations.</span>
