Answer:
A. The fern transitioned from gametophyte generation to sporophyte generation.
Explanation:
Ferns undergo an ALTERNATION of GENERATIONS in their reproductive life cycle. That is, they alternate between an incospicuous gametophytic stage and a dominant sporophytic stage. The sporophyte produces haploid spores, which germinates into the gametophyte plant called PROTHALLUS.
The gametophyte produces gametes (male and female) which fuse together to form the diploid zygote, which eventually develops into the SPOROPHYTE plant via mitosis. In this question, the brown dots from the underside of a fern's leaves that Maria collected are the spores.
When she places them in a pot, the spores germinated into gametophyte stage, then formed sporophyte, which is the small leaves she noticed growing from the pot. From this, it can be observed that the fern is transitioning from GAMETOPHYTE generation to SPOROPHYTE generation.
Answer:
While in mitosis, genes are generally transferred faithfully from one cellular generation to the next; in meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction, genes get mixed up. Sexual reproduction actually expands the variety created by meiosis, because it combines the different varieties of parental genotypes.

The answer is Lionfish
are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm
water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment
in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally
found in the indo-pacific, which is their
native environment. However, their presence
in the eastern United States has have threatened
the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef
ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore,
their population explodes unchecked.
