Answer:
A. The fern transitioned from gametophyte generation to sporophyte generation.
Explanation:
Ferns undergo an ALTERNATION of GENERATIONS in their reproductive life cycle. That is, they alternate between an incospicuous gametophytic stage and a dominant sporophytic stage. The sporophyte produces haploid spores, which germinates into the gametophyte plant called PROTHALLUS.
The gametophyte produces gametes (male and female) which fuse together to form the diploid zygote, which eventually develops into the SPOROPHYTE plant via mitosis. In this question, the brown dots from the underside of a fern's leaves that Maria collected are the spores.
When she places them in a pot, the spores germinated into gametophyte stage, then formed sporophyte, which is the small leaves she noticed growing from the pot. From this, it can be observed that the fern is transitioning from GAMETOPHYTE generation to SPOROPHYTE generation.
Explanation:
One of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position, or locus, on a chromosome is allele.
Answer:
Starch + H2O = maltose
This reaction gives the Starch and H2O as the reactants and Maltose as the product.
Amylase is an enzyme which helps in the digestion of Starch molecules and its activity can however be measured through careful monitoring of the disappearance of amylase substrate which is in this case, starch.
Answer:
hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single raction
Explanation:
The reason is Molecules of hydrogen react with oxygen violently to break the initial molecular bonds and form new one between the atoms of the two elements. The reaction results into an explosive release of energy and the production of water because the products of the reaction are at a lower energy level
The answer is hard tissue.
Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.
