Seedless vascular plants are classified into three phyla namely the club mosses, horsetails and ferns. Ferns form the numerous seedless plants with true vascular tissue, creeping underground stems called the rhizomes and large leaves called the fronds. They reproduce via spores.

Ferns crowd on the forest floors even after cutting them down. They invade the cleared zone of forest which has been cut for timber via numerous spores. The spores are in clusters called sori on the underside of the leaves. The spores develop into haploid gametophytes by mitosis. They also grow by spreading their rhizomes or from the tips of their fronds.

Answer:

Cutting the clusters would prevent ferns from invading a forest cut to produce wood if the clusters were cut before ripening.

Explanation:

Fern is a spore-forming plant. These spores can be spread by wind, water and animals allowing for other areas, allowing them to germinate and give rise to other ferns.

In the fern leaves, the spores appear in the reproductive season, they stay inside closed clusters, which open when they reach a certain maturity allowing the spores to invade other areas.

If you want the ferns not to invade a certain area, you must cut the clusters before they mature.

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.

The dominant allele is for black fur. The recessive allele is for white fur.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.

Explanation:

Genotype may be defined as the genetic constitution of the organism whereas phenotype depends on the genotype for the physical expression of the trait.

Let the genotype of the dominant fur (black ) be D and the genotype of white fur (recessive)  is f. homozygous means the individual should have the same allele for the trait. A mouse with homozygous dominant has genotype FF . This mouse has black fur. A mouse homozygous for the recessive trait has the genotype f. This mouse has white fur.

Thus, the answer is FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.

Explain why bacterial cellsouter memarane ruptures when the cells
qwelly [4]

Answer and Explanation:

When a cell is freezed, it cytoplasm-which is mostly water- is frozen and its volume expands. In consequence, pressure inside the cell increases and that causes damage to the outer wall.

The same occur in an unopened softdrink when it freezes. The volume inside the container increases and the pressure increases. If this volume increment is not considered before freezing the liquid, it could cause the container damage or breaking.
