The Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are groups of plants with seed, which means that they don’ t necessary acquire water for fertilization. These groups have made adaptations for sexual reproduction on dry land.

1) Gymnosperms (plants with the seeds are not enclosed in an ovary) have developed over the course of its evolution, structures that solved the main limitations present in the Pteridophytes in relation to sexual reproduction, in the terrestrial environment. The main changes that happened as an evolutionary adaptation to dry land are those on the seeds and pollen. The advantages of the seeds are: the storage tissue which sustains growth and a protective coat of the seeds. Seed is enveloped with the layers of hardened tissue which prevents desiccation. This is what frees reproduction from the need for a constant supply of water. <span>The sperm (male gamete) of gymnosperms</span> is enclosed in a pollen grain. Thi structure is protected from desiccation and can reach the female organs without dependence on water. Gymnosperms also developed structures called cupules to enclose and protect the ovule (the female gametophyte) which will develop into a seed upon fertilization.

 

2) Angiosperms are a group of plants which protect their seeds within an ovary called a fruit. Angiosperms have special evolutionary adaptations. For example, they produce their gametes in separate organs, usually in a flower, so the fertilization and embryo development takes place inside an anatomical structure. That provides a stable system of sexual reproduction largely sheltered from environmental fluctuations like water need.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: Diffusion

Explanation

Diffusion refers to the process that describes the movement of fluid from areas of high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is the opposite of diffusion and refers to the movememnt of low concentrations to high.

Which cellular structures are the machines that build protein? where are they located?
Sergeu [11.5K]
The cellular structures that are the machines that essentially build proteins needed for the cell to grown and survive, would be the ribosomes, these small granule like organelles are found throughout the cell, whether they be freely floating in the cytoplasm of the cell or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. They are the site for where the tRNA's complementary base pair their anticodons to the codons present on the mRNA strand.

In a hardy-weinberg population with two alleles, a and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of the allele a is 0. 3. What i
zavuch27 [327]

Here, given-

homozygous alleles 'a' have a frequency of 0.3.

Also the alleles are in equilibrium in a Hardy-Weinberg population. The frequency of individuals that are homozygous for this allele are= 0.49.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be defined as the principle which states that the variation in the genetic makeup of a population remains constant and unchanged till there are no external interferences, influencing the population.

Calculation-

p + q = 1\\0.3 + q= 1\\q= 1- 0.3\\\\q= 0.7

Then to find the frequency of the individuals homozygous for this allele the following formula needs to be used-

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} =1

p^{2} = dominant homozygous frequency\\2pq= heterozygous frequency\\q^{2} = recessive homozygous frequency\\

Thus, the individuals homozygous for the allele can be calculated by q^{2} = (0.7)^{2} \\= 0.49

How would damage to the left posterior column affect you?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal  lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.
  • The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.
  • The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.
  • Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.
  • Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.
