Question

A. Identify plant groups using plant key characteristics.
1. Fill in the blanks with what plant group is best described by the statement (hornworts, liverworts, ferns, cycads, conifers, monocots, and etc.).

a. Vascular tissue present, dominant sporophyte, seedless with:

  • Have large fronds and sori. What is this?                         
  • Have club-like strobilus. What is this?                            
  • Stems with no leaves, whisk-like appearance. What is this?                      

b. Vascular tissue present, dominant sporophyte, develop seeds with:

  • Needle-like leaves, with cones at the branches. What is this?               
  • Palm-like leaves, with cones in the center. What is this?                        

c. No vascular tissue, have microphylls, dominant gametophyte with:

  • Hornlike structures as the sporophyte. What is this?                      
  • Cup-like structures in thallus called gemmae. What is this?                   
  • Have simple conductive cells for nutrient transport. What is this?              

d. Seed enclosed in a fruit with:

  • Parallel veins in leaves and have monosulcate pollen. What is this?                  
  • Branched veins in leaves and have trisulcate pollen. What is this?
