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.
Beneficial mutations are more frequently fixed in large populations than in small ones, whereas deleterious mutations are more frequently eliminated.

Answer:
<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>
Explanation:
Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.
In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.
Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.
<em>Correct option: B</em>
