1.) Species Y and Z have very different genes. Species A and B have only a few different genes. What is most likely true about t

hese species?
A.) Species Y and Z are more closely related to each other than species A and B are to each other.
B.) Species A and B are more closely related to each other than species Y and Z are to each other.

B.) mutations that decrease fitness
C.) mutations that have no effect on fitness
D.) mutations that natural selection can work on
4.) How do scientists calibrate a molecular clock?
A.) they determine the number of mutations accumulated in a gene of species of known age
B.) they compare the ticking of the molecular clock with that of the atomic clock
C.) they use the clock that ticks at the appropriate rate for the divergence rate that they are trying ot calculate

<span>B.) Species A and B are more closely related to each other than species Y and Z are to each other.

</span><span>Biodiversity depends on a species' ability to reproduce itself. If a species cannot reproduce then it will die out. This depends on the climatic conditions of the region. If there is a natural disaster for example, it will affect a species' ability to reproduce. This reduces the number of diverse species on earth. Biodiversity is the recognised variety of different types of life found on the earth.</span>

Multicellular gametophytes are the product of spores from ____​
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

In bryophytes, the sporophyte is minute and dependent on the relatively prominent and nutritionally independent gametophyte for resources. The moss gametophyte looks like a miniature herb, with tiny leaf-like photosynthetic organs. The gametophyte generation begins as a dormant spore, which germinates under appropriate conditions to produce filamentous and branching protonemal tissues. These form multicellular bud-like structures, each of which develops into a leafy shoot. The mature gametophytes produce male and female sexual organs, the antheridia and archegonia, respectively. The gametophyte is often sexually distinct, and plants are either male or female.

Each antheridium has an outer layer that encloses and protects thousands of motile sperm, which swim through available external water layer to the egg. Fertilization at the base of the cylindrical archegonium produces a diploid zygote which develops into an unbranched sporophyte. The sporophyte consists of a thin stalk attached to the gametophyte, and a capsule that encloses the sporophytic meiotic cells.

In recent years, the mosses Physcomitrella patens and Funaria hygrometrica have emerged as attractive model systems for studying gene function in non-vascular plants because of the relative ease of molecular manipulation by homologous recombination. Mutants affecting gametophyte development have been isolated and their analysis should provide insights into the molecular basis of gametophyte development in mosses.
