Over time, due to different environment and climate adaptations, different selection pressures are exerted on the rose species. Phenotypic variations exists within the rose species. Roses with thorns were able to better survive predation (or any other reason) than that of the roses without thorns. Plants producing roses with thorns are selected for and is able to survive to maturity and reproduce thus having higher reproductive fitness to pass on genes coding for favourable phenotypes (with thorns) to offsprings. Over time, the allele frequency of roses with thorns increase in the gene pool and rose species with thorns evolve.

Same explanation for b just that a possible reason will be thorns are not useful in another different environment.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The evolution of vascular tissues in plants from non-vascular plants was an adaptive feature to survive in the terrestrial environment.  The group of plants in which vascular tissues evolved and developed is the Pteridophytes which contained stellar organization of the vascular bundles.

The pteridophytes exhibited xylem and phloem which allows the rapid uptake of the water and nutrients from the soil which allowed the growth of the plant and since plants got enough water and nutrients from the soil, they adapted to grow tall so that they can maximize the output of photosynthesis in bright sunshine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Otrada [13]
If you must leave an injured or ill athlete unattended to get additional help, and you do not suspect an injury to the head, neck or back, then you should ask not to move while going for help, either by calling 911 or looking for someelse to help, once contacted help return immediately with the injured person and check that no threat has appeared to his life and provide care while the help gets there.

Which of the following choices correctly matches a tool and its proper application?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "cell fractionation to study the function of specific organelles".

Explanation:

Cell fractionation is a scientific process used to study the function of specific organelles, which main idea is to fractionate the cells but preserving the individual function of the elements of the cell. Usually, the separation takes place by a centrifugation method. This methodology was developed to identify the location of the organelles within the cells, but nowadays is used to study its functions.

In classical conditioning the ns becomes a ________ after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the ________.
nignag [31]
The answer is <span>c.CS; US.

In classical conditioning, a new behaviour is learned via association. The stage before conditioning involves: 1. unconditioned stimulus (US) which produces an unconditioned response, and 2. neutral stimulus (NS) which has no effect on a person and produce a response only when paired with </span>unconditioned stimulus. During conditioning, neutral stimulus (NS) and unconditioned stimulus (US) pair and neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS). In other words, <span>the ns becomes a <u>CS</u> after it reliably signals the impending occurrence of the <u>US</u>. </span>

The transport of molecules of a particular solute from inside an animal cell across the cell membrane to the extracellular fluid
Leona [35]

Answer:

the concentration of the solute is lower inside the cell than outside it

Explanation:

This question depicts the process of ACTIVE TRANSPORT, which is the movement of a substance against concentration gradient, hence, requires energy input (ATP) to occur. In this case, transporting a solute from inside an animal cell to the extracellular fluid across the cell membrane always requires energy.

This is because the concentration of solute inside the cell is much lower than that of the extracellular fluid, hence, to move the solutes against this concentration gradient (low to high), energy in form of ATP is required.
