Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.

Describe the differences between the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of seedless tracheophyte plants and be sure to discu
kykrilka [37]

Answer and Explanation:

Tracheophyte plants, also known as vascular plants, are those that possess a supportive tissue that can also conduct fluids -The Xileme- and another tissue that conducts nutritious elements produced by photosynthesis -The Phloem-. These plants have a root (basically underground), a stem (aerial), and leaves. All of them together form the corm. And the corm counts with these vascular tissues to which we referred before.  

There are different types of Tracheophyte plants, some of them produce seeds to reproduce and disperse -Spermatophyta-  and some others reproduce and disperse by spores -Pteridophyta-. This last seedless group corresponds to ferns and other similar plants.

Pteridophytes characterizes for having a sporophyte that has stems with leaves and a root. It also has primitive xylem composed by tracheids and phloem, both of them formed by vascular bundles located in a central cylinder.

Spores are its dispersion units and are responsible for colonizing new areas. They also constitute the resistance units under extremely unfavorable conditions.  

Their life cycle is composed of the asexual phase (sporophytic phase) and the sexual phase (gametophytic).  

  • The <u>sporophyte</u>, the dominant asexual generation, it is a perennial and diploid structure. Its aerial part might disappear during unfavorable seasons, but it reappears during spring or summer.  The sporophyte is in charge of asexual reproduction
  • The<u> gametophyte</u>, instead, is and haploid structure, ephemeral and must be in the water for its survival, and for sexual reproduction to be successful. In the presence of water, masculine gametophyte -antherozoids- are released and they swim to the archegonium to meet the ovocell. Antherozoids can swim because they have flagella. After fertilization, a new sporophyte is produced.

The following options are all reproductive barriers. Which one is an example of a prezygotic barrier in which the two different
12345 [234]

The correct option is this: TWO DRAGONFLY SPECIES REGULARLY MATE BUT THEIR GAMETES ARE INCOMPATIBLE.

In biology, there are different types of reproductive barriers, one of these is prezygotic barrier. A prezygotic barrier is a kind of mechanism that prevent reproduction from occurring by blocking fertilization. In this case, the concerned species will be mating together, but their gametes will not be compatible and thus, zygote will not be formed.

A postzygotic barrier on the other hand is said to occur when the reproduction process is blocked after the formation of zygote or after fertilization has taken place. A good example of this is an hybrid mule that is sterile and can not reproduce.

Answer:

It greatly affect population of fish.

Explanation:

If there were no shrimp in the close ecosystem then many fishes die due to lack f food because shrimp is the food of many small and large fishes. They also play a great role in protection of fish's skin by eating parasite, bacteria and fungi present on their skin so it also act as scavengers so if these shrimps are not present many fishes die due to various diseases and the ecosystem would be disturb.
