A mushroom or a mold commonly reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. Spores are produced in the sporangium through mitosis involving only one parent. They are released from the parent and germinate into new a mushroom or a mold. The offspring are genetically identical to that parent because their formation do not involve meiosis and fertilization. Spores allow fungi to expand their distribution and colonize new environments.
Answer:
Part A: The process of sexual reproduction is important because by this process organisms with varied genetic characteristics can be formed. Crossing over and independent assortment allow individuals to be born which are not alike to another and their parents. As a result, genetic diversity is produced.
Part B:
The process 1 is meiosis. The process 3 is development by mitosis.
The reproductive organs form sperm and egg by the process of meiosis. During this process, the number of chromosomes is reduced so that the number of chromosomes of an individual can be maintained.
The zygote converts into an embryo in a process called germinal development. The zygote replicates by mitosis to form into an embryo.
Soil creation is a result of carrying out successions. Succession is the process in which land that is inhabitable by organisms is reclaimed and made fertile. This is done using pioneer species, which do not require soil to grow. After a while, these species are removed and a secondary succession is carried out. After this process, soil is created and the land becomes fertile.
I’m pretty sure it’s D, sorry if I’m wrong, I looked it up and it said “ Speed, latitudes, and direction of the objects determines the path along, which, the Coriolis effect deflects moving objects”
