Where does fertilization take place in the moss life cycle?

Biology

Lilit [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Archegonium

Explanation:

Mosses reproduce by alternating between the sporophytic (diploid) and gametophytic (haploid) phases. The gametes (sperm and eggs) are produced in gametophytic organs; archegonium (female) and antheridium (male) located on the tips of the separate female and male gametophytes.

The haploid sperm also called antherozoids produced by the antheridium, swims in a moist medium towards the archegonium and fertilizes the haploid egg in this organ. A zygote results from this fusion and grows into a diploid sporophyte (which grows and obtains nutrient from the gametophyte).

The sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, which ultimately forms protonema (buds that grow into gametophyte). The cycle continues again.

Explain how speciation, directional, disruptive, and stabilizing selection affect biodiversity.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Speciation forms new species.

Directional selection favors one extreme of a phenotype, which leads to evolution and adaptive change of a species.

Disruptive selection selects against the average and leads to evolution and genetic variation of a species.

Stabilizing selection favors the average individual in a population, which does not lead to adaptive change or evolution, and reduces variation.

Jean Baptist's Lamarck was a pioneer in the field of biology. He is most famous for coming up with a theory to explain how lovin
lutik1710 [3]

Answer and Explanation:

According to this theory, the young of a species may inherit certain physical characteristics which their parents acquired in the course of their daily lives. According to Lamarck, modern giraffes evolved from short-necked ancestors. The long necks develop as a result of stretching to reach the leaves of tall trees. The offspring of these giraffes inherited the long necks.

Lamarck's assumption of acquisition of characteristics by individuals in the course of their lifetimes is true. However, the passing of these traits to their offspring is not true. Acquired characteristics do not cause any alteration whatsoever in the hereditary information contained in the chromosomes. This theory is therefore not valid.
