Answer:

desiccation tolerance, alternation of generation

Explanation:

  • Adaptation to life on land, took place by desiccation tolerance that is the ability of the organism to stand or endure extreme dryness and the alternation of generations such as the life cycle changes in which the haploids and diploids change or show haplodiplontic.  
  • The development of the phloem and xylem tissues for distribution of water and intake up of minerals from the soil. Development of stem for gas exchange. Some plants have defense strategies for the dry environments such as seedless sprout growth.

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.
alexgriva [62]

The complete question is :

The success of plants extending their range northward following glacial retreat is best determined by _____.

A) whether there is simultaneous migration of herbivores

B) their tolerance to shade

C) their seed dispersal rate

D) their size

Answer: The seed dispersal rate

Explanation:

The  seed dispersal can be defined as the movement of the seeds away from the parent plant. The ability of the plant to extend is completely dependent on the ability of the plant to disperse its seeds.

Plants have very limited ability, they need vectors to carry its seed from one place to another.

The biotic and abiotic vector both are involved in carrying the seeds which helps in expansion of the trees.

hence, the correct answer is option C

Which one of the following processes does not occur to excess neurotransmitters in the synapse
svlad2 [7]

This question is incomplete because the options are not given; here is the complete question:

Which one of the following processes does not occur to excess neurotransmitters in the synapse?

A. Break down or digested into inactive fragments.

B. Collection by scavenger vesicles left over from the neurotransmitter release.

C. Drifting away from the synapse via diffusion.

D. Reuptake within the pre-synaptic neuron.

The answer to this question is B. Collection by scavenger vesicles left over from the neurotransmitter release.

Explanation:

The word synapse refers to the neurological structure that allows the transmission of signals or information between neurons. This process occurs through neurotransmitters, which are the molecules or substances with the messages.

Moreover, in this process, there can be in some cases excess. In this situation, the body reacts to this excess by degrading or breaking down the extra neurotransmitters, eliminating it through diffusion, or even reabsorbing it (reuptake). In this context, all are processes that occur due to excess neurotransmitters except collection by scavenger vesicles because in most cases neurotransmitters are simply absorbed or eliminated but there are not specialized scavenger vesicles that collect them.

6. species Closely related of orchids never mate in the wild because they bloom at different times. This is an example of ______
Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>
