The right answer is C. sex cells.

Like all cells, a somatic cell can mutate.

* A somatic mutation, if it is "viable" (if it does not kill the cell, organ or organism that carries it), and if it is not controlled by the body (apoptosis, confinement of the mutated cell) can give rise to new identical cell lines, thus carrying the same mutation.

* In so-called evolved animals (which can not clone naturally), this mutation affects only the organ or the organism concerned, but will not be transmitted to the offspring of the individual.

Why are ferns and mosses poorly adapted to a terrestrial life​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Because they require a WATER medium for reproduction

Explanation:

Ferns are a group of living organisms under the division; Pteridophyta while mosses belong to the group Bryophyta. Mosses are considered primitive and non-vascular plants because they lack true stems, leaves and roots or vascular tissues. while ferns possess these organs, hence, are said to be vascular.

However, ferns and mosses are poorly adapted to a terrestrial life i.e. life on land because they both require a water medium for their motile male gametes to swim and fertilize their eggs (female gametes).

Water erosion can contribute to pollution.

Explanation:

Remember that pollution refers to the introduction of contaminants in natural environments causing negative changes in the ecosystem.

Water erosion is possible because of the sediments that carries and erode soil surface. Also, it can contribute to water contaminations because of the different types of sediments can carry, finally causing pollution.

After ovulation, the corpus luteum releases _____ to prepare the endometrium for implantation.
ivolga24 [154]

After ovulation, the corpus luteum releases progesterone and estrogen to prepare the endometrium for implantation.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the process in which a mature egg is released from the ovary. After it's released, the egg moves down the fallopian tube and stays there for 12 to 24 hours, where it can be fertilized.

Sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract as long as five days after sexual intercourse under the right conditions.

Your chance of getting pregnant is highest when live sperm are present in the fallopian tubes during ovulation.

In an average 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period.

However, each person's cycle length may be different, and the time between ovulation and the start of the next menstrual period may vary.

A cousin who has been traveling overseas sneaks a plant through customs (who help along with the USDA, help to prevent invasive
Reil [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.

In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:

- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out

- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off

- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well

- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem

Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.
