Pollination cycles do not really have any direct effect with the soil. Releasing moisture from leaves does replenish some water needed in the soil that is cycled back through the transport systems of plants but does not hold back soil. Photosynthetic activities only draw up nutrients, minerals, and water from the soil through roots.

Therefore, the often elaborate ROOT SYSTEMS are the answer. This is because the roots hold the plants in the ground (soil) and by this, the plants prevent natural disasters, artificial actions, and/or excess water to wash away soil. The roots help to reinforce the soil and hold it together.

Use the phylogenetic tree to the right to determine which statement below is true.
Setler79 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

Organisms C and D are more closely related than  

Organisms A and B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Organisms A and B are not related much as the distance between them is more than the organisms C and D so the C and D are closer than A and B. The phylogenetic tree shows the biological evolutionary relationship among various biological   species. So the given tree shows the relationship as mentioned above.

It also show the physical and genetic relationship among the various biological species. The phylogeny is generally shown by using a particular phylogenetic tree. For example, the simple one below which describes the different evolutionary relationships between the great apes. The genus Pongo includes orangutans, Pan includes chimpanzees and bonobos, and Homo includes humans, while Gorilla is self-evident.
