Advantages of seed plants over seedless plants

<span> Wind dispersion of reproductive cells allowed in seedplants to colonize land away from water supplies. If water is needed to passively transport gametes to each other and protect them from desiccation plants were limited to densely inhabited space near water sources. Bryophytes & ferns (seedless) are dependent on moist environments for reproduction but the first seed plants developed an alternate delivery system allowing independence from water- assisted reproduction. Conifers produce pollen that can survive by carrying water and nutrients along. Wind can now carry these male gametophytes to female gametophytes under the scales of a cone. Fertilization produced a diploid seed. The seed is protected and can survive dry conditions for a period of time before growing. Pollen and seeds transferred a conifer’s water dependence for their reproduction to wind dependence. </span>

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Out of the following given choices;

contain ribose

consist of two strands

made of nucleotides

have an R group

The answer is 'made of nucleotides'. This is because out of the choices, DNA and RNA share the similarity of being made of nucleotides. However, while DNA is made of deoxyribose nucleotides, RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides. This difference is that in deoxyribose nucleotide, the 2nd carbon has a hydroxyl group while ribose nucleotide has hydrogen.

What type of bacteria can be found in pairs, chains, squares of four, cubes of eight, or grape like clusters?

liberstina [14]

Coccus-shaped bacteria can be found in pairs, chains, squares of four, cubes of eight, or grape like clusters. More specificially, this type of bacteria found in pairs is called diplococcia, in chains is called streptococci, in squares of four is called tetrads, in cubes of eight is called sarcinae, and in grape like clusters called staphylocci.
