Answer:
Answer is option A.
Orchid bees are to Brazil nut trees as breezes are to pine trees.
Explanation:
In Brazil nut trees, the female orchid bees act as pollinators that help in pollination. In pine trees, wind or breeze helps in pollination.
Pine trees are gymnosperms and so they do not have flowers to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies or birds. They are wind-pollinated. Pine trees are monoecious i.e., both male and female reproductive structures (pine cones) are present on the same tree.
The male cones (catkins) produce pollen grains that are lightweight, less sticky and have air bladders or small wing-like structures. As a result of these features, the pollen grains can be easily carried and dispersed by the breeze. In order to prevent self pollination (pollen falling on the female cones of the same tree), the male cones are normally located on the lower branches of the pine tree.
The female cones are located on the upper branches of the tree and the center of the cone contains eggs or ovules. The pollen grains that are carried by the wind, fall on the female cone of another pine tree. Each pollen grain grows a pollen tube into the center of the cone and the nucleus cell of the pollen travels through the tube and reaches the egg, where it combines with the egg to form an embryo. The embryo eventually grows into a seed. The seeds of pine trees are then dispersed by wind or animals such as squirrels.
The shuffling of chromosomes that occurs during both fertilization and meiosis can lead to genetic variation. This is because of the independent assortment and crossing over. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule. However, when the nucleus is split under the right conditions, some stray neutrons are also released and these can then go on to split more atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons, causing a chain reaction.
<span>A. Restriction enzymes would be used to cut the DNA into smaller pieces. The first step in DNA manipulation for genetic engineering is </span>to choose the piece of DNA from a source. Restriction enzymes are used in cutting these DNA pieces.
Answer:
Complex brain.
Explanation:
The cranial capacity of Homo sapiens are responsible for their successful adaptation on earth. They have the cranial capacity of around 1400cc.
The major environmental conditions has changed but the complex human brain has helped him to sustain and understanding the nature. Humans are successful to sustain on this earth due to their complex brain.
