The first land plants evolved around 350 million years ago and are known as mosses.

Further explanation

Mosses are generally found in shady or damp places. They are flowerless plants that appear o be small in size. These plants have simple leaves that are attached to unbranched or branched stem. The stem has a limited role in the conduction of nutrients and water. The mosses lack seeds and results in the formation of sporophytes after fertilization. The sporophytes contain spores. These plants are categorized as non-vascular plants along with liverworts and hornworts due to the absence of the vascular tissue system.

Mosses come under the division Bryophyta. Mosses are used as decorative plants and are an important constituent of peat. These plants absorb water through the leaves and also perform photosynthesis to prepare their food. They lack xylem tracheids which generally bear water in vascular plants.

Unlike vascular plants, mosses possess single chromosomal set and are therefore haploid. The stage during which mosses have paired chromosomes is the sporophyte stage. Its life cycle initiates with a spore that is haploid and germinates into a protonema. A protonema is a thallus-like structure and is grown on a stable surface like damp soil, concrete, or tree bark. The protonema further grows into a gametophore which differentiates into leaves and stems.

According to the data above, humans exhibit a high chance of surviving into old age.
Rom4ik [11]

Based on the data provided, we can conclude that the graph in question corresponds to the K-selected theory in regards to the human species.

When considering the data of certain species and grouping them into categories such as extinct, endangered, or K/r-selected we take into account factors such as:

  • Population size
  • Behavior
  • Carrying capacity
  • Reproduction rates

and so on, then classify each species accordingly.

Species that are Extinct are no longer on the earth. This classification refers to species of the past and does not include humans as of yet. The endangered category is reserved for species whose population sizes are <u>at a critical low and are near </u><u>extinction</u>, which is also not the case for humans.

The K-selected and r-selected theories consider reproduction rates and carrying capacity as well when grouping species. Species that produce few offspring at a time are often found in this group. This category also refers to species whose offspring have a high chance of survival into maturity and whose population size is near the limit of the environment. All of this follows the data given and is the classification for the human species.

Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with a white flower. What are the probabil
Zanzabum

Answer:

50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.

Explanation:

P = purple gene

p = white gene

Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:

Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp

White flower genotype = pp

Punnet Square:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]

Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;

According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;

This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;

Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.

lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>Agrobacterium</em> <em>tumefaciens</em> is a gram negative bacteria that is responsible for tumor formation in the different parts of plant body.

Explanation:

It causes crown-gall disease in plant body by transferring it's DNA into the plant body which include Ti plasmid.

There are 3 types of bacteria that form tumor in different plant ares.

<em>Agrobacterium rhizogenes</em>,<em> Agrobacterium tumefaciens</em> strains contain either Ti or Ri plasmid but <em>Agrobacterium vitis</em> contain only Ti plasmid   which are virulent.

The transfer of T-DNA takes place into the body of host cells and then the DNA is expressed into the body of the host and thus forming gall or tumor.

The answer is stem cells, they consist of classes of cells that are undifferentiated and are able to be classified them into types like specialized cells. They consist of having two main sources that will help them develop and mature, these main sources are called the embryonic stem cell and the adult stem cell.
