Walking upright.

You can make a case for all of them, but for three of them indirectly.

But the answer, I think, is walking upright.

You can look at the pelvic bones and femur orientation in the hips. You can also look at the way the skull sits on the vertebra.

Chimpanzees have a skull that sits more downward, because they walk on all fours most of the time. While humans have skulls that sit more horizontally on the vertebra, which allows us to see out on the horizon more easily. We can do that because we stand on two feet.

I hope that helps.

<h2>Biennial plants</h2>

Explanation:

This plant is a biennial, which means it will just take longer than a season to mature enough to produce flowers.

Since the Sweet William plant did not flower last year when it was planted and this year also it did not bud till the spring. So, we can assume that these plant will need atleast two seasons to mature hence they are biennials.

Depending on the life span, plants are classified as annuals (one season), biennials(two season) and perennials (more than two years).

It is estimated that animal- or insect-pollinated plants produce 1000 pollen grains for each ovule; wind-pollinated plants produ

Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

The plants which use animal or insects as pollination vector produce less pollen compared to the wind-pollinated plants.

This could be due to the reason that the chances of pollination by wind are less than the pollination by the animal or vectors.

The chances of pollination in animal pollination are high as the animals to feed on the useful product of plant will go to the other plants but in wind pollination, the chances are less as it depends on the speed and direction of the wind.

Thus, wind-pollinated plants produce high number of pollens.
