It is dry in deserts and hot too. There are special kinds of plants that grow in desserts means they have specialized characteristics which help them beat the dry and hot weather.

Succulent plants such as cacti, aloes, agaves have ability to store water in their leaves and stems which have thick and hard outer layer to avoid evaporation of water.

These plants have small spicules on their outer surface which protects them from animals as well.

Answer:

Sun is too hot the climate is too dry

Explanation:

Deserts are characterized by presence of very hot and dry climatic conditions.  The plant species found in deserts have morphological and behavioral adaptations to withstand the unfavorable growth conditions. Since only a few plant species have adaptations to cope up with extremes of temperatures and water scarcity, few plants can survive in a desert.

Answer:

Explanation:

Australopithecina or Hominina is a subtribe in the tribe Hominini. The members of the subtribe are generally Australopithecus (cladistically including the genera Homo, Paranthropus,[2] and Kenyanthropus), and it typically includes the earlier Ardipithecus, Orrorin, Sahelanthropus, and Graecopithecus. All these related species are now sometimes collectively termed australopithecines or homininians.[3][4] They are the extinct, close relatives of humans and, with the extant genus Homo, comprise the human clade. Members of the human clade, i.e. the Hominini after the split from the chimpanzees, are now called Hominina[5] (see Hominidae; terms "hominids" and hominins).

While none of the groups normally directly assigned to this group survived, the australopithecines do not appear to be literally extinct (in the sense of having no living descendants) as the genera Kenyanthropus, Paranthropus and Homo probably emerged as sister of a late Australopithecus species such as A. africanus and/or A. sediba.

The terms australopithecine, et al., come from a former classification as members of a distinct subfamily, the Australopithecinae.[6] Members of Australopithecus are sometimes referred to as the "gracile australopithecines", while Paranthropus are called the "robust australopithecines".[7][8]

The australopithecines occurred in the Plio-Pleistocene era and were bipedal, and they were dentally similar to humans, but with a brain size not much larger than that of modern apes, with lesser encephalization than in the genus Homo.[9] Humans (genus Homo) may have descended from australopithecine ancestors and the genera Ardipithecus, Orrorin, Sahelanthropus, and Graecopithecus are the possible ancestors of the australopithecines.[8]
