Lamarck's theory postulates that traits are inherited to their descendants, Darwin's theory states traits are given by natural selection.

For Example, the majestic GIRAFFE! :-)

-Darwin's Theory says giraffes with long necks would be better suited for their African Savannah and would live and reproduce better than giraffes with short necks (natural selection). The short neck gene would.eventually die off.

-Lamarck's Theory says crave perfection. Giraffes with short necks would eventually grow longer necks instead of in Darwin's Theory, dying out. He then concludeds his theory that the giraffes with the better genes will get control over the gene pool aka the good genes are used more, but the bad genes don't just die out like in the other theory.

Hope this helps! :-)

valina [46]

<h2>Xylem;phloem and cork</h2>

Explanation:

Wood is mainly known as secondary xylem found in trees

Xylem is basically the vascular tissue which is responsible for the conduction of water and nutrients from the roots to shoots and leaves
Secondary xylem is formed from secondary growth and is associated with lateral growth and grows from the vascular cambium
Its cell walls are thickened by deposition of lignin which provides mechanical support to plants and consists of tracheids and vessels that are shorter and wider
In large woody plants secondary xylem get differentiated into heartwood and sapwood

Bark is essentially made of phloem and cork

Bark sole purpose is to provide protection to trees
The inner bark is produced by vascular cambium which consists of secondary phloem whose innermost layer transports food from the leaves to rest of the plant
The outer bark is a dead tissue which is the product of cork cambium

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C. their gametes do not require water for fertilization to occur.

Explanation:

Seed bearing plants are plants that produce seeds. The gametes of seed-bearing plants do no depend on water for fertilization. Fertilization could occur through the transfer of pollen from the male gametophtye to the female gametophyte through animals or wind.

Unlike other plant types like the bryophytes, they rely on water for fertilization. They so have xylem and phloem as well as other plants. They also have stems,roots and leaves like other plants.
