The thinning of ice definitely affects the water cycle, particularly the condensation process. This is where liquid molecules that have turn into gas will collide within the atmosphere causing it to turn into liquid molecules again which results to precipitation. The more ice melting, more precipitation may occur and it may cause several natural disasters that can be destructive.

Algal bloom is definitely good for the Arctic as these algae provide nutrition for several smaller species that dwell at the closed to the surface of the ice, like shrimps and krills.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

E) In both mosses and ferns, moisture is required for sperm to reach the egg. In mosses, gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle. In ferns, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.

Explanation:

The *sporophyte of fern plant is dominant over the smaller and nutritionally independent gametophyte*. The sporophytes are photosynthetic, long-lived and highly branched. *Sperm cells of fern possess whip-like flagella in their cell walls that enable moisture swim to reach the egg*

*In Mosses,the gametophyte is more prominent (dominant)* just like in lower plants. These organisms *require external water(moisture) in the form of dew or rain to move their sperm during fertilization*.

Therefore, *In ferns, the sporophyte is dominant over the gametophyte*, while *in mosses,gamatophyte is dominant over the sporophyte.* Both require moisture for sperm to reach egg.
