What is a sporophyte

The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis.

A diploid form of a plant

What is gene flow

Gene flow is genes moving between two populations.

the transfer of genes from one gene pool to another

two populations transferring genes

Why is evolution considered a scientific theory

There are two forms of "theory." Colloquial usage associates the word with a "guess." However, the scientific usage of the word calls upon a body of evidence to explain scientific phenomenon. For instance, we know the universe is comprised of Atoms; Atomic theory explains the makeup through physics equations. Likewise, Evolution theory explains the mechanism that powers speciation, namely natural selection. Both Atomic and Evolutionary theory are supported by a large body of evidence.

Second answer

Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact.

The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution.

That is what theories in science do. They explain phenomenon by being the result of many tested hypothesis, supported by myriad lines of converging evidence, be internally consistent and be able to generate prediction for further testing.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation

Speciation Adaptive radiation refers to changes in a species in response to varying environmental conditions.

many new species form

Which is not a kingdom in the eukarya domain

Bacteria

archaea

What are the fixed alleles in the human species

alleles that everyone has

Which is the largest level of classification on this list

Kingdom

Which is an example of genetic drift

The distribution of alleles changes due to random chance.

or

The allele frequency of a population changes due to a bottleneck effect. <apex>

Which animal adaptation happened before the others
bilateral symmetry

Tissue development

Development of a coelom

Which increases the rate of speciation

Population bottlenecks

Reproductive isolation

Niche availability

Which type of organism is the most complex

Which of these organisms is considered the most complex?

Which type of organism developed first

Single celled organisms are the type of organism that developed first. More complex multi-cellular organisms developed not long after this.

Which is an example of vestigial structure

Your coccyx is a vestigial structure that once extended into a tail, though now it is part of the pelvic girdle. Some children still develop tails in very rare circumstances.

Why did the development of vascular system helps plants move to land

It made it passable to move water within the plants structure-APEX

Which organisms are most closely related

Apex is Mergus serrator and Mergus merganser.
