Answer from: hmu323

Heterospory, highly reduced gametophytes, ovules, pollen, seeds are the five adaptations common to all seed plants that ensure their success in the adaptation to land. Three things: The gametophytes of seed plants are reduced and dependent upon the parent sporophyte which protects them (particularly in the case of the female gametophyte). Pollen is covered with sporopollenin which is resistant to physical factors in the environment. The structure of the seed protects the next generation sporophyte and allows it to remain dormant until conditions are right for germination, development and growth.

Answer from: Quest

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
