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.
The answer is <span>C.silent.
Nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift mutations are point mutations. The point mutations are the change in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule. In a missense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide base results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. In a nonsense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide results in a stop codon or in a nonsense codon. Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation. In all these cases, the change could lead to different of nonfunctional protein translation.
Silent mutation, on the other, means that change in a nucleotide base will no affect amino acid. It will result in a different codon, but the one that code for the same amino acid, so the same protein will be produced.

The factor that CITES fail to consider when determining which species to cover is the Ecosystem sustainability.
A sustainable ecosystem is a biological environment with a series of habitats that is able to thrive and also support itself without outside influence. it is the capacity of the biosphere to meet the needs of the present generation, without hindering future generations from being able to meet their needs.
What is the question you are asking tho?
