The Everglades is a natural region of tropical wetlands in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large drainage basin and part of the neotropic ecozone. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades experience a wide range of weather patterns, from frequent flooding in the wet season to drought in the dry season. The Seminole Tribe gave the large body of water the name Okeechobee meaning "River of Grass" to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypressswamps, the estuarine mangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay

Describe the differences between the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of seedless tracheophyte plants and be sure to discu
kykrilka [37]

Answer and Explanation:

Tracheophyte plants, also known as vascular plants, are those that possess a supportive tissue that can also conduct fluids -The Xileme- and another tissue that conducts nutritious elements produced by photosynthesis -The Phloem-. These plants have a root (basically underground), a stem (aerial), and leaves. All of them together form the corm. And the corm counts with these vascular tissues to which we referred before.  

There are different types of Tracheophyte plants, some of them produce seeds to reproduce and disperse -Spermatophyta-  and some others reproduce and disperse by spores -Pteridophyta-. This last seedless group corresponds to ferns and other similar plants.

Pteridophytes characterizes for having a sporophyte that has stems with leaves and a root. It also has primitive xylem composed by tracheids and phloem, both of them formed by vascular bundles located in a central cylinder.

Spores are its dispersion units and are responsible for colonizing new areas. They also constitute the resistance units under extremely unfavorable conditions.  

Their life cycle is composed of the asexual phase (sporophytic phase) and the sexual phase (gametophytic).  

  • The <u>sporophyte</u>, the dominant asexual generation, it is a perennial and diploid structure. Its aerial part might disappear during unfavorable seasons, but it reappears during spring or summer.  The sporophyte is in charge of asexual reproduction
  • The<u> gametophyte</u>, instead, is and haploid structure, ephemeral and must be in the water for its survival, and for sexual reproduction to be successful. In the presence of water, masculine gametophyte -antherozoids- are released and they swim to the archegonium to meet the ovocell. Antherozoids can swim because they have flagella. After fertilization, a new sporophyte is produced.

Briefly explain why experiments having faulty design or inconsistent data are problems for scientists. List several reasons.
son4ous [18]
Experiments with faulty design or inconsistent data:
-decreases the experiment's reliability and validity
- wastes time and resources
- destroys the scientist's credibility in their field
-  may lead to issues of safety to the experimenter/s due to faulty design
- is discouraged especially in hard sciences where data obtained should be accurate and precise
Explanation:
