Asteroid impact
Volcanic eruptions
Explanation:
Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.
A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.
- The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
- The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
- The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
- It can cause heating of the earth surface.
- Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.

Answer:
The swim bladder is located in the body cavity and is derived from an outpocketing of the digestive tube. It contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process
Answer:
A single gene on the Y chromosome plays a crucial role in the parental development of the testes.
Explanation:
Y chromosome is present only in males and this chromosomes is the distinguishing factor which separates males from females. It is the smallest chromosome but of utmost importance due to its sex determining feature. Up till now, studies show that Y chromosomes only carry limited amount of genes.
The Y chromosome, most importantly, comprises of the SRY gene. This is the gene responsible for determining the testis and for the development of the testis. The SRY gene is responsible for sex determination.

Vascular and Nonvascular Plants </h2>
Explanation:
Kingdom Plantae on the basis of vasculature is divided into two groups-vascular and non-vascular plants
.
- <u>Vascular plants </u>or tracheophytes have a proper tissue-level organization and true shoot and root structures like leaves, stem, flowers, root etc
- The tissue system or vasculature of vascular plants compromises of vascular tissues like tubular vessels – xylem and phloem
- The xylem transports nutrients to various parts of the body from the leaves.
- Phloem conducts water and other nutrients from the roots to various parts of the plant
.
- These are flowering plants that include the phanerogams – angiosperms and gymnosperms and bears flowers and fruits like the cedars, pine, clubmosses, lilies, sunflower etc.
- Dicots are with tubular vasculature.
- Non-vascular plants or bryophytes with an absence of proper tissue-level organization and true shoot or root systems
- <u>Nonvascular plants</u> are small. Their transport mechanism is poor due to lack of vascular tissues
- These plants are lack proper shoot or root system.
- It includes mosses, hornworts etc.
- Monocots are plants with scattered tube-like vessels
.
