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.

What types of movements do we see among the lipids in the membrane?
yanalaym [24]
<span>Most membrane channels allow passage by simple diffusion of small inorganic ions of a specific type and may also be voltage gated. The solute binds to a protein carrier on one side of the membrane and is released on the other side after the transporter undergoes a change in shape, the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration in the direction against some gradient or other obstructing factor.</span>

The fossilized teeth of ancestors of the modern horse have grown progressively larger and flatter over the past 60 million years
ohaa [14]
Because nowadays, many horses are domesticated, and food they would have eaten in the wild, they don't usually eat anymore. They have learnt to adapt to eating other foods, like hay, that require molars to ingest. This is why over time, their tooth structure has changed.
