The reason is to help in seed dispersal. Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Due to the fact that plants have very limited mobility they have to rely upon variety of dispersal; vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Seed dispersal is important because if seed are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant which would result to competition between every one of the seedlings as well as the parent. The competition for essential growth factors such as light, space, water and nutrients.

Cyanide is a poison that limits the ability of an animal cell to manufacture ATP. In a cell containing a small amount of cyanide
Naily [24]

Answer:

D. Diffusion

Explanation:

The process of diffuse transports the substances in the direction of their concentration gradients. Diffusion of substance from the region of their higher to that of the lower concentration does not require any energy. Being a passive process, diffusion can be carried out by a cell irrespective of the status of its ATP supply. Therefore, an animal cell containing a small amount of cyanide can transport substances by diffusion.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Characteristics can be lost in evolution.

Explanation:

The new evidence helps in developing a new hypothesis. In this case, new evidence proved that the Chondrichthyes diverged after the evolution of bone had started instead of before the evolution started. This process called atavism where an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having lost. This leads to loss of the traits in the evolution

This can take place by knocking the mutation out to overriding the gene by the old gene or overriding the new trait by the old trait during the evolution period.
