Why does the pilobolus use such an explosive method to disperse its spores??

So it does not land in the zone of repugnance, a zone which prevents the spores from being consumed by the cow. (zone of repugnance is a zone of which a cow will not eat grass, this explosive dispersal of spores will allow the spores to be eaten by a cow and later pooped out to grow into a beautiful fungus)

Pilobolus or also called as hat-thrower fungus are known for their explosive dispersal. Pilobolus species feed saprobically (living in an environment that is anaerobic, organic-rich matter) on the feces of grazing animals. This microorganism must pass through the grazing animals' digestive tract as part of their life cycle. Because animals avoid grazing near their excreta , this fungi uses a phototropic or light-following squirt-gun mechanism to spread their sporangia up to three meters away from their parent fungus and to the unpolluted vegetation. The ballistic dispersion can reach a speed of up to 90 km/hr. This is accomplished by the release of high-pressure fluids originating from the sporangiophore stalk following the rift of the conspicuous subsporangial vesicle.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Temperature control

Explanation:

Arterio-venous anastomoses (AVAs) are direct connections between small arteries and small veins. In humans they are numerous in the glabrous skin of the hands and feet.

They are very significant in body temperature control. These temperature control are under the dual control of the central nervous system and the local thermal influence. While the arteriovenous anastomoses control the skin temperature through volume changes in the superficial venous bed, the arterioles and capillaries operate by generalized dilatation which results both in increased temperature and in redness of the skin.

The genes that masks the effects of other genes

epistatic gene

Explanation:

Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.

Answer:

Figure 3

Explanation:

A mixture is a substance made up of two or more different kind of atoms arranged in such a way that they are not chemically linked or joined. This accounts for the reason a mixture can be separated easily. In the figures attached as an image in this question:

- Figure 1 represents an element because it is made up of only hydrogen atoms chemically bonded together to form a molecule.

- Figure 2 represents a compound because it contains hydrogen and carbon atoms chemically joined together.

- Figure 3 represents a MIXTURE because it contains the oxygen and carbon atoms, which are not chemically joined to one another. As seen in the image, the oxygen atoms are not joined to the carbon atoms.

- Figure 4 represents a compound because it contains oxygen and hydrogen atoms chemically bonded together.
