kow [346]

Obligate symbiotic fungi that form associations with plants by entering their cortical cells without invading the plant cells membrane are called endomycorrhizae and include the genus Glomus. Many plants form associations called mycorrhizae with fungi that give them access to nutrients in the soil, protecting against disease and toxicities. In these associations the fungi are integrated into the physical structure of the root, where the fungi colonize the living root tissue during active plant growth.

Can you complete this concept map that reviews some key ideas about macro evolution

Inessa [10]

Macroevolution can cause significant changes in the frequencies of alleles, that can ultimately result in speciation (forming of new species).
Various large-scale events like climate change and continental drift can greatly influence the distribution of species and adaptive radiation of different groups that can fill vacant ecological niches.
The changes in gene regulation and genetic mutations can also contribute to macroevolution by producing novel traits and adaptations.
