gladu [14]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

In some, the leaves are needle-like and stomata are reduced in number and located in cavities on the epidermis. A layer of moist air builds up in the cavity. This reduces the humidity difference between the intercellular air spaces in the leaf and the immediate external environment thus reducing the rate of transpiration.

In some the epidermis of the leaves is multilayered and is covered with a thick waxy cuticle which reduces water loss through evaporation, e.g. oleander. The cuticle is normally shiny which helps to reflect solar radiation preventing the leaf from heating up rapidly.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

When the females tend to form a solitary group, the adult males have an advantage of mating with females in different social groups thus enhancing on the productivity of the species.

Explanation:

When both the sexes of the species tend to make a group, the males and the females of the group have to mate with the members of that particular group and hence the males have restricted mating options which reduce the size of the herd. When the females have a separate social group, the males can mate with the members of different groups and raise the herd size in a short period of time. This helps in the increase in the population size and also helps in avoiding inbreeding depression which happens among small grouped animals.
