Answer:
Earliest- gametophyte dominance, sporophyte dependence
Middle- sporophyte dominance, gametophyte independence
Recent- sporophyte dominance, gametophyte dependence
Explanation:
The life cycle of plant alternates between the two phases: the haploid gametophyte which produces gametes and the diploid sporophyte which produces spores. The evolution of land plants shows how these are dependent on each other in terms of the requirement of nutrition.
In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant phase on which the sporophyte depended. Later in pteridophytes, the sporophyte became dominant which is present in the later evolved groups namely the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The gametophyte was independent on the sporophyte but in angiosperms and gymnosperms, it is dependent.
Question 1: The correct answer should be the one that shows the producer first, (->) followed by the herbivore, (->) with the carnivore last.
Producers are organisms that harvest their own 'food' using things like the sunlight and water. Examples of producers are grass and other vegetation.

The herbivore, or an organism that consumes only vegetation and/or algae, consumes the producer.

⇒

The carnivore consumes meat, or other animals such as the herbivore. It's the last.

⇒

⇒

Therefore the answer is
B.

Question 2: I'm pretty sure that succession as well as regrowth after volcanic eruption (Just look at Mount St. Helens. After 30-35 years after the eruption, nature is
still recovering) happens over time/slowly. I would say global warming [C](?) would be the answer.
B, I think, because by saying that the ice cube has a lower heat capacity means that it cannot stead heat enough to last longer then the water and pool.
Answer:
Meiosis results in the production of gametes (sex cells)
