Evolutionary adaptations

Evolutionary adaptation is the process through which organisms adapt or adjust to their surroundings to increase the chances of survival, mating, and reproduction. An organism's behavior, physiology, and structure are adjusted or changed to make it more suited to its environment.

Question

Place the following adaptations in the correct order from earliest to most recent by numbering them from 1 to 5. a. vascular tissue b. ﬂowers c. seeds d. multicellularity e. movement to land

Discuss how adaptations allowed plants to move from an aquatic environment to the variety of habitats they inhabit today. Maybe, start out by discussing single celled algae and include the transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Then explain why those traits are adaptive, and how they arose. Don't forget the role of natural selection in adaptation.

Evolution through natural selection will occur most rapidly for populations of plants that a. are already well adapted to the environment. b. live in an unchanging environment. c. are in the same genus. d. reproduce sexually and live in an unstable environment.
Name the adaptation, that some chordates have, which allows them to reproduce without environmental water. Which chordate groups did we learn about that have this adaptation? In the chordate groups that don't have the adaptation, why do they need water to reproduce? Name the adaptation we learned about, that some land plants have, which allows them to reproduce without environmental water Which land plant groups did we learn about that have this adaptation? In the land plant groups that don't have the adaptation, why do they need water to reproduce?
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.
