A divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which eventually become rift valleys. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges.[1][2] Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill.
Answer:
E) In both mosses and ferns, moisture is required for sperm to reach the egg. In mosses, gametophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle. In ferns, the sporophyte is the dominant stage of the life cycle.
Explanation:
The *sporophyte of fern plant is dominant over the smaller and nutritionally independent gametophyte*. The sporophytes are photosynthetic, long-lived and highly branched. *Sperm cells of fern possess whip-like flagella in their cell walls that enable moisture swim to reach the egg*
*In Mosses,the gametophyte is more prominent (dominant)* just like in lower plants. These organisms *require external water(moisture) in the form of dew or rain to move their sperm during fertilization*.
Therefore, *In ferns, the sporophyte is dominant over the gametophyte*, while *in mosses,gamatophyte is dominant over the sporophyte.* Both require moisture for sperm to reach egg.
Hi lovely,
Are you able to provide your answer choices?
Answer:
The correct answer would be D) tt.
Recessive traits need a homozygous condition to get expressed and to produce a particular phenotype. In contrast, dominant trait can be expressed in homozygous as well as heterozygous condition of the alleles of a gene.
Now, shortness is a recessive trait encoded by allele "t". Hence, allele "t" must be present in the homozygous condition in order to make the plant short.
Thus, the genotype of all the short plants in the field should be tt and the genotype of the tall plants would be TT or Tt.
