Answer:

Coral reefs ecosystem : It is a type of ecosystem which is present inside the ocean water. It is made up of coral, sponges and crustaceans etc.

Homologous chromosomes are similar in all of these characteristics except:
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Except alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of the same gene and that's because they have different DNA, even though it is slightly different it can make a lot of changes so that's why they have different alleles.

Allele is actually the variant form of some genes.

The best<u> example </u>for alleles we can find in the gene for blossom color in some species of flowers or plants. Only one single gene is controlling the color and we can see sometimes different versions of it. Those different versions are called Alleles.

The following statements refer to a comparison of reproduction in ferns vs. flowering plants. Indicate whether each statement is
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Both ferns and flowering plants produce spores at some point in their life cycles. True

Only ferns have a gametophyte as part of their life cycle. False.

Only flowering plants produce pollen grains. true

Both a tree and a large fern plant are diploid sporophytes. True

Explanation:

Yes, both ferns and flowering plants produce spores in their life cycles. In fern plant, it produce spores on the underside of the leaves whereas in flowering plant, there are two types of spores such as microspores and megaspores. Both ferns and flowering plants have gametophyte as part of their life cycle. Flowering plants produce pollen grains whereas non-flowering plants produce spores to continue their generation. Both tree and large fern plants having diploid sporophytes which is a necessary part of their life cycle.

(Experiment 1: Diffusion through a liquid) Does the rate of diffusion correcspond with the molecular weight of the dye?
saveliy_v [14]
The answer to this question would be: False

The rate of diffusion should not be influenced by molecular weight. Big molecule might not be able to pass the membrane though.
Diffusion happens when there is a difference/gradient in the concentration of the molecules. If the difference is higher, then the diffusion rate will be increased.
