The correct answers are evolution, genetic mutation and selection.

The early ancestors of horses showed the pressence of digits and now the modern horses have hooves in their limbs. There could be many reasons for the pressence of hooves horses.

These could be due to the genetic mutations, which could have changed the shape of the digits in the limb. Sudden change in DNA can cause mutation and this mutation can change the phenotype of the horse.

There are chances that evolution took place over a period of time that changed the character in the horse.

Natural selection can also be one of the reason for the change in the phenotype of the digits on the limb of the horses.

Plants that we recognize today spend the majority of their life in the A. haploid phase. B. gametophyte phase. C. seed phase. D.
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: diploid phase

Explanation:

The essence of plant life is their characteristic property of alternation of generations. Each plant undergoes alternation of generations and produces haploid and diploid generations.

This property allows the plant to reproduce both sexually and asexually. Primitive plant species used to reproduce through spores and spent the majority of their life as haploid cells. These cells were called as spores and required only matter and energy to reproduce.

Modern plant species reproduce by using gametes and spent the majority of their life in diploid phase called diploid sporophytes.
