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.
Answer:
Pacific
African
Eurasian
Explanation:
The Indo-Australian Plate is a major tectonic plate which includes the continent of Australia and surrounding ocean. It extends northwest to include the Indian subcontinent and adjacent waters.
It was formed as result of the fusion of Indian and Australian plates.
This plate includes India and Australia and it borders the Eurasian, African, Pacific and Antarctic plates
-Plant cells are more rigid due to the cell wall.
You would want this observation to be in an area with a lot of biotic and abiotic factors, so the best place for it is an ecosystem.
The correct genotypes of the parents are <span>AaBb and Aabb
In a cross of these two genotypes presented in the image below, 5/8 of the offspring would be deaf.
The individuals marked with a red square would be deaf because of the recessive aa alleles and the rest of the progeny that is marked with green would be deaf because of the presence of the B dominant allele.</span>
