Why are spores, as opposed to sperm, the primary means of dispersal in moss?.
FromTheMoon [43]

spores are light & small & encapsulated

The spores are very resistant to the the external environment since they are encapsulated structures , this type of dispersal helps past against natural calamities and promotes more living of the plant in further generations in extreme conditions . Since they are light weight and have small size they can be dispersed easily so helps in diversification of the plant in the area . These advantages are not well suited for sperms. Moreover, in mosses, the sperm requires water for the movement to meet the ova cells to make zygote.

Infants control the muscles of their trunk and arms before they control their hands and fingers, and they use their whole hands
Ostrovityanka [42]
The correct answer is "proximodistal".

Infants exhibit a proximodistal pattern of growth meaning more proximal to the median or central muscles (i.e. trunk) will be the first one to exhibit movements then followed by more peripheral muscles (i.e. arms and thighs) then going distally to the forearms and legs and eventually to fine motor movements in the fingers and toes.

How do latitude and altitude affect which plants grow in an area?
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>They are both important. Latitude, the lines that parallel the equator are very important in determining plant growth rates and which plants can even exist because latitude is strongly related to average temperature. Altitude acts like latitude only over a shorter scale, so an increase in altitude of 1,000 ft may act like a latitude change of 3-4 degrees pole-ward. Longitude, that series of lines, perpendicular to the equator is also important, and is more related to water supply in the form of precipitation, so it would surely influence the kind of plants present - like desert plants versus rain forest types. Environments that are warm and with more rainfall generally will support more plant growth than those that are cold with little rainfall.</span>
