Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1). Humans

Explanation:

About 99 percent of genes in humans have counterparts in the mouse," said Eric Lander, Director of the Whitehead Institute Center for Genomic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

2). True

Explanation:

Gymnos= naked; Spremos = seeds

Gymnosperms is the word means that naked seed bearing plants.

3). Stomata

Explanation: A stoma (also stomate; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore that is used for gas exchange.

4). Physical barrier

Explanation:

Gene flow between populations must be interrupted in order for speciation to occur. The most common form of speciation, occurs when populations of a species become geographically isolated.

5). Amphibians

6). All of them

Explanation: All green parts of the plants are autotrophic.
