Consider the characteristics of moss and fern life cycles. Which of the following sets of statements is true?A. The gametophyte

is the dominant stage of the life cycle in both mosses and ferns. In both mosses and ferns, moisture is required for sperm to reach the egg. B. The gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle in both mosses and ferns. Mosses require moisture for sperm to reach the egg, but ferns do not. C. In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle; in ferns, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle. Ferns require moisture for sperm to reach the egg, but mosses do not. D. In mosses, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle; in ferns, the gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.

Answer:

E) In both mosses and ferns, moisture is required for sperm to reach the egg. In mosses, gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle. In ferns, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.

Explanation:

The *sporophyte of fern plant is dominant over the smaller and nutritionally independent gametophyte*. The sporophytes are photosynthetic, long-lived and highly branched. *Sperm cells of fern possess whip-like flagella in their cell walls that enable moisture swim to reach the egg*

*In Mosses,the gametophyte is more prominent (dominant)* just like in lower plants. These organisms *require external water(moisture) in the form of dew or rain to move their sperm during fertilization*.

Therefore, *In ferns, the sporophyte is dominant over the gametophyte*, while *in mosses,gamatophyte is dominant over the sporophyte.* Both require moisture for sperm to reach egg.

How does recombination provide genetic variation
pochemuha
Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

During what stage does land get ready for the arrival of a new species

Answer

           The correct option is B.

Explanation

          Ecological succession of any species is composed of following stages:

A. Migration

            The movement of species from one place to another location for the purpose of setting permanently o temporary is known as migration . Forexample

             Siberian crane (<em>Leucogeranus leucogeranus</em>) that live in the arctic tundra of eastern and western Russia. The eastern population of birds migrate to china while western population of these birds migrate to Iran, India and Nepal during winter season.

B. Ecesis

         The complete establishment of species in new habitat that was completely barren or left barren due to some catastrophe is known as Ecesion. This process is dependent upon the climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. The success of plant depend upon some of the adaptations to withstand the unfavorable conditions which includes both biotic and abiotic conditions.

Forexample

               The process of succession in xerosphere start on barren area from pioneer stage covered by crustose lichen, then foliose lichen followed by moss stage, herbaceous stage and a last by shrub stage.

C. Nudation

       The initiation of new species by major environmental disturbance such as volcano eruption is known as Nudation.

D. Reaction

            It represents the effect of established species on the habitat. Forexample plants alter habitat condition as they grow. They extract raw materials from the environment in large amounts and return metabolic wastes. The waste accumulates in large amounts and differ from the original raw materials, thus altering the environment.  

E. Competition

             The phenomenon which involves struggle for existence between two or more individuals growing in same area, that make excessive demand that are similar in nature on the soil is known as competition.

Such struggle may be in between same species or different species. The competition may be interspecific or intraspecific. Because of completion the weak individuals are eliminated as strong ones are retained.
