Answer: a. Haploid spores are released to form zygotes, which grow into gametophytes.

A fern has two different stages of the life cycle; the sporophyte and gametophyte. In the sporophyte, spores are released. After this life cycle comes the gametophyte or the sexual phase,  <span>haploid spores are released to form zygotes, which grow into gametophytes. </span>

Answer:

Haploid spores are released to form zygote, which grow into gametophytes.

Explanation:

The life cycle of the fern has 2 different stages :

(1) Sporophyte in which fern releases spores. (2) Gametophyte in which fern releases gametes. Sporophytes plants are diploid, Gametophyte plants are haploid and this type of life cycle is known as Alteration of Generation.

Haploid spore grows into a haploid gametophytes and then the gametophyte is fertilize and grow into a diploid sporophyte. Diploid sporophytes produces spores, completing the life cycle.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

There are a total of <u>71,551 employees</u> in the company.

Explanation:

Let the number of employees in the company be 'x'.

Given:

Number of employees in one country = 24900

As per question:

34.8% of total employees = 24900

⇒ 34.8\%\times x=24900

\frac{34.8}{100}\times x=24900\\\\0.348x=24900\\\\x=\frac{24900}{0.348}\\\\x=71,551.7\approx71,551

So, there are a total of 71,551 employees in the company.

If the release of thyroid hormone (TH) was regulated by a long-loop negative feedback, where would you find the cells that are i
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Lower levels of T3 and T4 in the blood or lower metabolic rate serve as signal and stimulate the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn makes the thyroid gland to release the thyroid hormones.

The elevated levels of thyroid hormones inhibit the release of TRH from the hypothalamus and that of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland.

Hence, the cells of hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland would be inhibited by the binding of thyroid hormone to regulate the release of these hormones by a negative feedback mechanism.
