The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl

agellated male gametes from the same gametophyte, and it releases spores into the environment. Which of the following is the best conclusion about the life cycle of this plant? (2 points)
The plant is a gymnosperm, and the gametophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is an angiosperm, and the gametophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is a moss, and the sporophyte is its dominant phase.
The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Black fur is more fit to survive in the environment than other colors of fur.

Explanation:

"Fitness", in terms of natural selection, is an organism's likelihood to survive in a given environment. Assuming that the increase in black fur is significant (Not attributable to pure chance), we can safely assume this is because Black Fur provides a competitive advantage in said environment over other colors of fur. There may be black terrain that allows them to blend into the environment and ovoid predators, or maybe it keeps them warmer if it is located in a cold region, thereby reducing the amount of resources they need to spend to stay warm.

Which statement is true about climate change and biodiversity?
8090 [49]
Climate change and biodiversity are two completely different things. In some areas, climate change will increase biodiversity, allowing more species to live in certain climates, but it will make some species lose their habitats. Biodiversity helps ecosystems thrive, and generally keeps things in balance. However, introducing too many species in an area can cause increase competition for food, risking predators of different species to kill one another off. Both climate change and biodiversity can be good and bad.

Answer: C. It can help some species and hurt others.
