You have access to the sequence genomes for moss and the lycophyte Selaginella. Your goal in analyzing the data is to write a ground-breaking paper that answers an important question about the evolution of plants. What questions would you try?
Based on this diagram, which of the following plants evolved first? A. conifers B. flowering plants C. nonvascular plants D. vascular, non-seeded plants
For fossils, we often must use a mix of artificial and natural classification. What is a form genus? If you found a specimen of fossil wood—but only wood, with no leaves or cones or bark—and it looked like wood of modern pines, what genus would you classify it in?
This figure identifies lineages as plants, non-vascular plants, vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants. Which of these categories are paraphyletic and which are monophyletic?
Construct a cladogram based on the following data. Mosses are plants with no vascular tissue. Horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (pines and other plants with naked seeds), and angiosperms (flowering plants) are all vascularplants. Seeds are absent in all but the gymnosperms and angiosperms. Angiosperms are the only seed plants with flowers
Examine the cladogram shown below and answer these questions. a. What is the derived characteristic possessed by ferns? b. What derived characteristics are shared by pine trees and flowering plants? c. Which type of plant lacks a vascular system?
Draw a tree depicting our current understanding of land plant phylogeny. Include the four major groups of land plants at the tips of your tree, label the common ancestor of land plants, and mark where each of the critical innovations arose: embryo, sporopollenin, vascular tissue, seeds, flowers.
Suppose you wanted to make a science fiction film in which human time travelers went back to the carboniferous. What types of modern plants would you use and which would you avoid if you wanted to depict the carboniferous setting as accurately as possible?
Evidence exists that a catastrophic collision between Earth and a large extraterrestrial body occurred 66 mya, resulting in the extinction of (a) worms, mollusks, and soft-bodied arthropods (b) jawless ostracoderms and jawed placoderms (c) dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and many gymnosperm species(d) mastodons, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths (e) ferns, horsetails, and club mosses
The simplest and most ancient phylum of modern land plants isprobablya. the pteridophytes.b. the cycads.c. the liverworts.d. the angiosperms.e. none of the above.
Explain how arborscent lycopods and horsetails are to vascular plant evolution what dinosaurs are to vertebrate evolution.
Evaluate the following statements about seeds from two biology textbooks: I. The seed coat is an adaptation that protects the plant embryo from damage, water loss, and infection. II. Evolution has come up with a clever solution for protecting plant embryos: seed coats that prevent damage, water loss, and infection. Do these statements accurately represent the evolution of seeds? a) Yes, both statements are accurate. b) No, neither statement is accurate. c) Only the first statement is accurate.
