Answer:

While in mitosis, genes are generally transferred faithfully from one cellular generation to the next; in meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction, genes get mixed up. Sexual reproduction actually expands the variety created by meiosis, because it combines the different varieties of parental genotypes.

Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?

CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is: [D]:

___________________________________________________

→ " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

Note: Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice: [A]: "garden flowering plants" ; is incorrect — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" — which means that they are "angiosperms" — Not "gymnosperms ".

→ Rule out: " Choice: [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since both ferns — as well as liverworts — are Not "gymnosperms ".

Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice: [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ; since both mosses — as well as horsetails — are Not "gymnosperms ". Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — and Not by seed .].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " ;

— is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".

Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."

Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are: "known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem."

__________________________________________________

→ As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

→ Answer choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " .

Which of the following is an example of an adaptation that allows similar species to live in the same environment?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

B. Both mussels and barnacles live in the tidal ecosystems.

Explanation:

Mussels are small bivalve molluscs that are adapted to both marine and freshwater ecosystems. Barnacles, on the other hand, are arthropods that are adapted to marine ecosystems. However, both are adapted to shallow and tidal zones.

Both organisms are small and have the capacity to live in tidal ecosystems where they thrive and play important ecological roles. For instance, barnacles are filtering organisms, which is extremely important for the food chain, and mussels filter out significant amounts of excess nutrients and metals, that is, they make the water more suitable and clean for organisms to live.

As they are both adapted to tidal ecosystems, this would be an example of an adaptation that allows similar species, in this case mussels and barnacles, to live in the same environment.
