The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. mosses.

b. charophytes.

c. ferns.

d. gymnosperms.

e. flowering plants.

Answer:

C. ferns.

Explanation:

In the given question, the characteristics of a newly identified species were provided which are:

1.  Flagellated sperm: shows that it is either a bryophyte or pteridophyte

2. Dominant sporophyte: chances that it is a pteridophyte

3.The xylem and tracheids: shows that vascular bundle is present which confirms that it is pteridophyte

4. No seeds: confirms that the plant is pteridophyte as vascular bundles with no seed are pteridophyte.

Therefore in the given question, the identified plant is a pteridophyte which in the given option is a fern.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

Females of the species drosophila pseudoobscura respond less well to the courtship signals from males of their close relative dr
NikAS [45]

The answer is reproductive isolation. This ensures that there is no viable reproduction between different species or subspecies. Even if reproduction between species leads to conception, the embryo may not be able to survive to maturity or will be sterile. This ensures that species remain integral by restricting gene flow.

In experiments with competitive barnacle species distributed along upper and lower intertidal zones, researchers found a trade-o
atroni [7]

In this case, researchers observed a trade-off between the ability to tolerate harsh dry conditions and the ability to colonize deeper water. This type of trade-off can increase the fitness of only one phenotypic trait.

An evolutionary trade-off can be defined as an evolutionary mechanism where a trait can increase its adaptive fitness in the detriment of decreased adaptive fitness in another phenotypic trait.

In trade-offs, the evolutionary adaptive processes cannot optimize a given trait without compromising another.

A well-known example of an evolutionary trade-off is the balance between the number of eggs that a bird can produce in a determined clutch.
