Answer:
C. their gametes do not require water for fertilization to occur.
Explanation:
Seed bearing plants are plants that produce seeds. The gametes of seed-bearing plants do no depend on water for fertilization. Fertilization could occur through the transfer of pollen from the male gametophtye to the female gametophyte through animals or wind.
Unlike other plant types like the bryophytes, they rely on water for fertilization. They so have xylem and phloem as well as other plants. They also have stems,roots and leaves like other plants.
Answer: Shale changes into Slate.
Explanation:
Shale is a sedimentary rock, formed by the deposition and compression of clay and silt.
Shale layers is buried deep into the earth through the process of deposition (i.e the laying down of rock forming material by natural entities like glaciers, wind, and water).
Temperatures and pressures rise greatly because the shale’s layers are buried. When the temperatures and pressures become higher. The shale is changed into a metamorphic rock (with dark brown streak), called Slate.
