The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.

The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Punctuated Equilibrium

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium organisms are in stasis until a major change causes evolutionary pressures, which will result in a rapid burst of speciation until the stasis is reached again.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Based on this theory, when species occur in a fossil record, then the population will become stable, thus showing little evolutionary change for the geological history.</u></em>
  • <em><u>In this case, based on the theory of punctuated equilibrium all of the oak species in Georgia appeared suddenly from one common ancestor, over a short period of time, due to some extreme environmental changes, and that since that time, they have not changed much.</u></em>

Describe how diffusion and osmosis move substances through a plant. Must have two examples.​
Jlenok [28]

Osmosis help plants to absorb water from soil. Diffusion is the process by which carbon dioxide from the stomata diffuses to the leaves and then to the cells.

Explanation:

  • Example one - The genetic modifications in some of the plants can help in survive and adopt the osmosis in a very dry environment. They develop defense methods to handle the water loss.  
  • Example two - Some plants in a permanent dry environment like desert have special structures like reduced leaves, sunken stomata, and so on to conserve water and thus achieves diffusion.
  • Another example for diffusion - loss of water vapour from leaves to the atmosphere. Another example for osmosis - the roots of the plants have high concentration than the surrounding soil and hence water flows into the roots.

Predicting the genotype of offspring
There are four possible combinations of gametes for the AaBb parent. Half of the gametes get a dominant A and a dominant B allele; the other half of the gametes get a recessive a and a recessive b allele. Both parents produce 25% each of AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
