Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.

The carbon cycle is one of earths natural resources that enables all living organisms to inhabit the planet. For example, with out this vital resource we would run out of oxygen. Flora (plants and trees) use the carbon that is a by product of cellular respiration by fauna (humans and animals) to reproduce oxygen and this cycle continues. which is what keeps all living organisms in harmony and alive.

barxatty [35]
Germ-line mutations are mutations that would be passed down to future generations, and recombinations are where the information each parent passes down to the offspring is shuffled. 

The genetic variation would have to come from random events: False
Only alternate generations would express any genetic variable: False
Body cell mutations would be the only source of heritable genetic variation: False
There would be no new heritable genetic variation possible in the population: True

The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.
