Answer:

The name angiosperm is derived from the Greek words angeion, which means urn/vase, and sperma, meaning seed and gives us clues to the main feature of this group. In the flower, the eggs are protected within a structure called the ovary, which will develop in the fruit, carrier of the seeds.

Flowers are, therefore, the structures responsible for the reproduction of angiosperms, being their exclusive characteristic. In moss and ferns, reproduction is ensured by very simple structures - the sporangia, responsible for spore production. The sporangia are grouped in leaves (sporophylls) that can be more or less modified concerning the leaf pattern of the plant. The unicellular spores are easily carried by the wind, can travel long distances and, when favorable, germinate, giving rise to a new individual (gametophyte). In mosses, the gametophyte consists of a spiral arrangement around the kaolin and the sporophyte consists of an elongated stem (arrow) and a capsule into which the spores are produced.

The most important step in the evolution of gymnosperms is that the embryo is protected by a wrap (integument) and, together with the nourishing tissue, form what we call a seed. The seed replaces spore as a unit of propagation in gymnosperms and angiosperms, conferring great advantages to these groups.

Why do people feel fireworks before hearing it?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

People feel fireworks before hearing it because light travels faster than sound.

Explanation:

We always see the colors of the fireworks before hearing their defeaning sounds. This is because light travels faster than sound, so we can see the light before hearing the sound. An example of this is seeing lightning before hearing thunder. When lightning strikes, the air around it moves very quickly, causing vibrations.

The table below identifies three classes of genes that affect the cell cycle.
Doss [256]
The correct option is this: PROTO ONCOGENES BECOMES ONCOGENES.
Proto oncogenes genes are those genes that regulate the process of normal cell division in the living system. These cells starts cell division when necessary and terminate the cell division when the necessary cells have been formed. When these genes lose the power to regulate cell division, the cells continue to divide indefinitely without stopping and this leads to a medical condition called cancer. At this stage, the proto oncogenes have been turned into oncogenes, which are genes that caused uncontrolled cell cycle divisions.
