Answer:

A. The fern transitioned from gametophyte generation to sporophyte generation.

Explanation:

Ferns undergo an ALTERNATION of GENERATIONS in their reproductive life cycle. That is, they alternate between an incospicuous gametophytic stage and a dominant sporophytic stage. The sporophyte produces haploid spores, which germinates into the gametophyte plant called PROTHALLUS.

The gametophyte produces gametes (male and female) which fuse together to form the diploid zygote, which eventually develops into the SPOROPHYTE plant via mitosis. In this question, the brown dots from the underside of a fern's leaves that Maria collected are the spores.

When she places them in a pot, the spores germinated into gametophyte stage, then formed sporophyte, which is the small leaves she noticed growing from the pot. From this, it can be observed that the fern is transitioning from GAMETOPHYTE generation to SPOROPHYTE generation.

seropon [69]

Answer: Option B.

A see saw, chin raise.

Explanation:

A lever is a machine that can rotate and consist of a beam which is pivoted to fulcrum.

There are three classes of lever, the first class lever, second class lever and third class lever. These three classes of lever are classified base on the positions of effort, fulcrum and Load.

In first class lever, fulcrum comes between the effort and load. Examples is scissors , see saw, pliers. This is because effort is applied on the one side of the fulcrum and load is on the other side. Therefore, the childhood demonstration of first class lever motion is see saw and chin raise.

In the second class lever, load come between effort and fulcrum e.g wheelbarrow, bottle opener.

In the third class lever, effort comes between fulcrum and load e.g hammer, broom.
