Which of the following is not a vascular plant? conifer fern moss flowering plant

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is moss.

Mosses are nonvascular seedless plants. <span>Nonvascular plants have simple tissues specialized for internal water transport.</span>
On the other side, vascular plants have vascular tissue which consists of xylem and phloem. Xylem transport water and minerals from the root to the upper parts of the plant. Phloem transports food and nutrients from the leaves, where they are produced, to the growing or storage parts of the plants.

Some Latin-American hummingbirds have bills that are long and curved, matching long and sharply curved flowers in their environm

Luba_88 [7]

These two organisms may have evolved by coevolution. The last option in the given question is the correct option. The Latin-American humming birds had to evolve as per their surroundings, otherwise they would have become extinct in that region. For that sole purpose they had to have the long and curved bills. The flowers needed the humming birds for their pollination. To attach with the legs of the humming birds in the region, the flowers had to become sharply curved. The humming birds had to come in contact with the flower while sucking the nectar. this helped the plants in their pollination process. so both became mutually beneficial to each other.

Babies with very low or very high birth weight are less likely to survive. The graph shows the percentage of babies born at

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The information provided clearly shows that the babies with average weights form a stable selection, the average is favoured.

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

Explanation:

Concluding Part of the question

A graph entitled Percentage of Babies born at Different Weights has weight in pounds on the horizontal axis, and percentage on the vertical axis. A small percentage of babies are born at the low and higher birth weights, and a greater amount are around 7 to 8 pounds.

Which statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph?

A) Directional selection is occurring because the graph favors an extreme.

B) Disruptive selection is occurring because the two extremes are favored.

C) Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

D) Biodiversity variation is occurring because there is an increase in trait variation.

Explanation

Stabilizing selection represents a form of natural selection where the intermediate variants of a trait, that is the non-extreme trait values are the ones that ensure the survival and subsequent formation of stable population of the species with this average traits.

In this question, it is given through the data from the graph that babies with very low or very high weights are less likely to survive.

And it is logical as very low weight babies are most likely to be very weak, fragile and susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection and very high weight babies have all sorts of overweight issues plus the fact that they have to literally be squeezed out of the womb through a very narrow canal, really pushing their oversight bodies to its limits very early making them also susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection.

The average weight babies on the other hand do not experience any of the issues discussed in the last paragraph, they are usually healthy and thus have a high survival rate. So, it is evident to see that the population of babies stabilizes based on a particular non-extreme trait value (baby weight) through stabilizing selection.

Hope this Helps!!!
