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

How can you determine how closely related organisms are from their taxonomy

You can tell how closely related organisms are by determining the lowest classification that they share. For example, organisms that share the same genus will be more closely related than organisms that share the same family.

Scientists know that organisms that are more closely related will have DNA sequences more similar to each other than organisms that are distantly related Which two organisms below would most likely h

dog and wolf

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.

How is species defined

Any large number of some type of living organism is called a specie. They tend to stay together in a group. Examples: humans.

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 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 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.

What two problems did the development of a vascular system solve for land plants

Conduction and firmness

What contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism Is it chloroplast

No it is not chloroplasts (they are involved in plant photosynthesis). The cell nucleus contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism in the form of DNA encoding genes.

What term is used for a plant that produces a seed with a protective cover

Angiosperms is the term that is used to describe a plant that produces a seed with a protective cover.

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

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