Answer and Explanation:

Tracheophyte plants, also known as vascular plants, are those that possess a supportive tissue that can also conduct fluids -The Xileme- and another tissue that conducts nutritious elements produced by photosynthesis -The Phloem-. These plants have a root (basically underground), a stem (aerial), and leaves. All of them together form the corm. And the corm counts with these vascular tissues to which we referred before.  

There are different types of Tracheophyte plants, some of them produce seeds to reproduce and disperse -Spermatophyta-  and some others reproduce and disperse by spores -Pteridophyta-. This last seedless group corresponds to ferns and other similar plants.

Pteridophytes characterizes for having a sporophyte that has stems with leaves and a root. It also has primitive xylem composed by tracheids and phloem, both of them formed by vascular bundles located in a central cylinder.

Spores are its dispersion units and are responsible for colonizing new areas. They also constitute the resistance units under extremely unfavorable conditions.  

Their life cycle is composed of the asexual phase (sporophytic phase) and the sexual phase (gametophytic).  

  • The <u>sporophyte</u>, the dominant asexual generation, it is a perennial and diploid structure. Its aerial part might disappear during unfavorable seasons, but it reappears during spring or summer.  The sporophyte is in charge of asexual reproduction
  • The<u> gametophyte</u>, instead, is and haploid structure, ephemeral and must be in the water for its survival, and for sexual reproduction to be successful. In the presence of water, masculine gametophyte -antherozoids- are released and they swim to the archegonium to meet the ovocell. Antherozoids can swim because they have flagella. After fertilization, a new sporophyte is produced.

For what purpose is mitochondrial genomics used
bezimeni [28]

<span>The mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being.  This energy conversion is called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including humans.  These organelles also had its own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix.  The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can use.  It is containing 37 genes which are all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.</span>

Answer:

Cetacean

Explanation:

Let us start with the family Delphinade which is the largest in the Cetacean order, and relatively recent: dolphins evolved about ten million years ago, during the Miocene. Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals and their often-friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in past and current human culture.

5 Why is it easier to digest sour milk than fresh milk?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Sour milk contains less lactose than the fresh milk, as the sour milk gets converted to lactic acid and bacteria which enhances the digestion process. One important reason is that proteins take more time in getting digest than other nutrients. We know that fresh milk has a large amount of lactose.

Explanation:

The lactic acid bacteria have many benefits. They improve lactose digestion in the stomach. The lactase activity of the bacteria performs  the task of digesting lactose in the product once it reaches the intestine thus fuelling the process of digestion in case of sour milk.

In fresh milk, the casein protein in contact with milk forms curdles which are difficult to digest.
