Horses are much larger today than their two-foot tall ancestor, mesohippus. Geologists believe the change in size was the result

of changing environments, from tropical forests to a grassland habitat. Larger size would be an advantage for survival in this new habitat because

The answer is: <span>larger horses have longer legs.

</span>The ancestors of horses lived in the forest, where they could hide from the predators. But, with the first steppes, they could be spotted by the predators. Horses had to adapt in order to survive. Thus, their legs became longer through time so horses could run faster to escape predators.<span>

The human infant spends about half of its sleep time in rem. What is the understanding of why this is the case?
Molodets [167]

This occurs because REM sleep may provide at least part of the stimulation necessary to correctly develope the immature brain of infants.

REM sleep provides the electrical activity necessary to establish neural connections that include the  development of synapses in the brain. These neurological process enables development of sensory, motor, learning and memory system.

Part C
AnnyKZ [126]

The style is the female reproductive part of the plant. it plays important role in plant breeding .

What is style and the role of style in reproduction ?

The stigma and ovary are connected by a long tube-like structure called the style. The pollen tubes bearing male gametes enter the style tissues and travel to the ovary's ovule once the stigma's pollen grains have germinated. Once within the embryo sac, it travels to the egg cell to fertilize it with the aid of the filiform apparatus.

The style is crucial to the plant reproduction  process since it not only serves as the site for the formation of the pollen tube but also functions to prevent incompatible pollen from entering the ovary. Genetic information is transferred between the pollen and the plant when the pollen tube begins to spread within the style. The plant also produces a poison at this period. The plant will release the poison to block the formation of the pollen tube if the pollen is unsuitable because it comes from a different species or is too closely related, leading to inbreeding.

If the pollen is compatible, the plant will isolate the poison and sequester it so that the pollen tube growth is not halted. Therefore, the style is the area where compatibility is evaluated and where it is decided if pollen that falls on a flower will be allowed to fertilize the plant.

what does the term 2pq represent in the hardy-weinberg equation? the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals the frequency
Nostrana [21]

The term 2pq represented in the hardy-weinberg equation is the frequency of heterozygotes and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is Hardy-weinberg equation?</h3>

This mathematical equation is used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium and can be seen below:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where

p² is dominant homozygous frequency (AA)

2pq is heterozygous frequency (Aa)

q² is recessive homozygous frequency (aa).

The 2pq can be seen as the heterozygous frequency which is therefore the reason why option D which is frequency of heterozygotes was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
