Answer:
Punctuated equilibrium refers to<u> B. Species that evolved very rapidly during relatively brief time spans</u>
Explanation:
The theory of evolution states that organisms heritable characteristics change over time to form new lineages or species. Punctuated equilibrium is an evolutionary theory that explains the sudden appearance of novel species on the fossil record. In this theory, the species likely evolved quickly to survive in a significantly altered environment.
The answer would be C.
Plants that live in the canopy get way more sunlight than the ones that are on the forest floor. They have different adaptions that i can tell u about in the comments if it’ll help with what ur studying:)
I remember answering this question as "revolutionary change"
Answer;
Statocysts
Explanation;
-The small organs of equilibrium in scyphozoan jellyfishes are called statocysts, and these are borne in more complex sense organs called rhopalium.
The statocyst is a balance sensory receptor present in some aquatic invertebrates, including molluscs, bivalves, cnidarians,ctenophorans, echinoderms, cephalopods and crustaceans. These structures aid in orientation and balance during swimming in medusae and are located around the margin of the bell in Craspedacusta.
Answer: Yes, estimation of a population of plant species in a given area. The tool I used was a QUADRAT.
Explanation:
Plants in a small area are easy to count and their distribution is recorded on a map or scale diagram for the area. For larger areas, quadrats are used to obtain a fairly accurate estimate of the number and types of plants in those large areas.
The ESTIMATION of the population of plants can be done using a method called the quadrat sampling method. Here, a QUADRAT which is a rectangular or square frame(tool) made from thick wire, is thrown at random several times. On each landing, the area covered by if is observed. The type of species and their number within the quadrat are recorded. The average number of times each species appears is calculated and the most frequent or dominant species is then determined.
Some quadrats are specially made to mark off an area for the study of seasonal variations of plants. They are sturdier, larger and permanent and can thus serve their purpose through the seasons. These quadrats often have a mapping grid attached so that the flora within it can be mapped at regular intervals.
