Answer:

Human weight is a case of polygenic legacy. In polygenic legacy, qualities are dictated by numerous qualities. The qualities adding to an attribute have equivalent impact and the alleles for the quality have an added substance impact. Polygenic attributes display deficient predominance, where one allele doesn't totally rule another allele. The phenotype of the posterity is a blend of the phenotype acquired from the parent alleles.

What feature of both true mosses and ferns makes it most surprising that they can survive for many generations in dry deserts? U
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Desert biomes are characterised by the presence of the arid conditions or with few or less amount of rainfall.

The plant groups called the bryophytes and pteridophytes are dependent on the water for their fertilization which allows completing their life cycle.

In the desert conditions provided in the question, the mosses and ferns survived for many generations as these plant groups produced sperms with flagella which helped the sperms to swim in the water provided by the 10-inch rainfall per year and reach the female gamete and fertilize the egg cell.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Which of the following modifies and smoothes the respiratory pattern?
stealth61 [152]

The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers

The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:

•  The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)

• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation

• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
