Global warming has been linked to a decrease in the

(a) rate of carbon dioxide production

(b) size of the polar ice caps

(d) rate of species extinction.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) size of polar ice caps.

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. It is due to the increase in the green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others which trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere and increase the temperature causing the green house effect.

Global warming has numerous effects. A few of them have been listen below-

(1) It causes the change in the climate showing extreme weather conditions due to increase in the average temperature.

(2) It results in a higher rate of extinction of animals and causing disturbance in the ecosystem.

(3) It causes the melting of the ice caps resulting in decrease in the size of the ice caps. Arctic sea ice decline is the result of it showing increase in the sea level.

Thus, global warming results in the decrease in the size of the polar ice caps.

Through the course of evolution, plants have developed smaller gametophytes and larger sporophytes. Study the list of plants. Th

Lapatulllka [165]

Ans.

Gametophyte shows haploid, gamete-forming stage of plant's life cycle, while sporophyte shows diploid, spore-forming stage of plant's life cycle. In green algae, gametophytes and sporophytes are isomorphic (indistinguishable). In bryophytes, such as mosses, gametophyte shows dominant stage as it is most visible stage in their life-cycle. In vascular plants, such as ferns and seed plants, sporophytes show dominant stage.

Thus, 'seed plants show briefest gametophyte stage' and 'mosses show longest gametophyte stage.'

Explanation:

Analogous structures are the structures that have a similar function in various organisms but their anatomic structure is different from one another in reality. Analogous structures are do not indicate a common ancestor.

An analogous structures example is the wings of the bat and butterfly as they are both used for flying but their structure is different anatomically from one another.

There are choices for this question namely:

The correct answer is "associated the product with a special group, event, or cause". The product here is diet coke and the company associates diet coke with a special group (people who are trying to lose weight by cutting out carbohydrates), event/cause (the association of diet coke with American Heart Association). This will entice buyers, especially those who are trying to lose weight, to buy their product.
