Why does food need to be digested?

Answer:

The term “reptile” is derived (Made) from a Latin word meaning “creeping animals.” These animals include snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators, turtles, geckos, and chameleons, with lizards and snakes species making up the majority of all reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals which means they are unable to regulate their own body temperature. Reptiles are Oviparous (Egg laying). Reptiles also have chains of bony elements from the tail to the head. The bony endoskeleton consists of cranium or skull, appendages, and limb girdles. The endoskeleton protects the inner tissue and also aids in body movement. Skeletons differ from one species to another, with crocodiles having some of the largest body structures in this class.

Alternation of generation

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

"Alternation of generation"

Alternation of generations is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plant and algae in the archaeologist and the heterokontophyta that have distinct haploid sexual and diploid asexual stages.In these groups a multicellular haploid gametophyte with n chromosomes alternates with a multicellular diploid sporophyte with 2n chromosomes made up of n pairs.A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half from 2n to n.

Two haploid spores germinate and grow into a haploid gametophyte.At maturity ,the gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis which does not alter the number of chromosomes.Two gametes from different organism of the same species fuse to diploid zygote,which develop into a diploid sporophyte . This cycle from gametophyte to sporophyte in the way in which all land plant and many algae undergo sexual reproduction.
