What could happen to the reproductive process of mosses during a drought? The flagellated sperm would not be able to swim to the
eggs for fertilization. The flagellated sperm and eggs would go dormant until water was available. Mitosis in the sporophyte would cease and the reproductive cycle would stop. Meiosis in the sporophyte would cease and the reproductive cycle would stop.
The answer is <span>The flagellated sperm would not be able to swim to the eggs for fertilization.
</span><span>Their life cycle of mosses has alternation of generation -
a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte. Gametophyte produces haploid
gametes which fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote grows into diploid
sporophyte which produces haploid spores. The spores grow into gametophyte and
the cycle begins again. </span>Mosses require water for reproduction. Before fertilization, the sperm swims to an egg through the water. Therefore, mosses require water for successful fertilization. In drought periods, without water, the sperm cell could not swim to the egg cell.
I believe that in this community the tadpoles are: the primary consumers. A n ecological community is the set of all populations of all species found in a given place. Primary consumers are mainly herbivores which feed on plants; which are the primary producers of all the energy in an ecosystem. In this case the tadpoles eat algae (primary producer) thus they are primary consumer.
Well its most likely over hunted but if its endangered and not allowed to be hunted then it would be because of natural predators in the area being over populated and taking out the caribou to fast
