The tundra biome has permafrost
Answer:
A. Rock pieces
Explanation:
Abrasion is the breaking down and wearing away of rock material by the mechanical action of other rocks. Three agents of physical weathering that can cause abrasion are moving water, wind and gravity. None of those are agents of abrasion. But Rock pieces are a result of abrasion.
Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
In sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles. What happens between these two events depends upon the organism. The process of meiosis, the division of the contents of the nucleus that divides the chromosomes among gametes, reduces the chromosome number by half, while fertilization, the joining of two haploid gametes, restores the diploid condition. There are three main categories of life cycles in eukaryotic organisms: diploid-dominant, haploid-dominant, and alternation of generations
