Concept Introduction:
The non-vascular plants are easily observed. There are seedless vascular plants which have 12000 species, but do not produce seeds. The bryophytes are one of the non vascular plants.

There are two alternative hypotheses about the life cycle of the early vascular plants, the transformation hypothesis and the interpolation hypothesis. If Rhynia and Sciadophyton are the two generations of one species, which hypothesis would be favored? Briefly describe the other hypothesis.
One evident apomorphy evolved in vascular plants is the establishment of true
leaves which is characterized by the incorporation of the vascular system.
Select one:
True
False
The calyptra in mosses generally function in the regulation of gas exchange and
water uptake.
Select one:
True
False
Elaters are non-sporogenous cells with spiral wall thickenings and is mainly for
spore dispersal of liverworts.
Select one:
O True
False
Put the following 3 fictional plants in order from earliest to most recent according
to their characteristics:
A. The Terpad Plant: This plant reproduces using spores and has proper leaves and
vascular tissue.
B. The Feltris Plant: The Feltris plant lives in moist environments since it doesn't
have any vascular tissue to maintain hydration throughout the plant. This plant has
no roots either but has small root-like structures called rhizoids which help anchor
them to the ground. Water is also required in order for fertilization.
C. The Lancelot Plant: This plant can grow in either moist or dry environments, has
true roots, stems and leaves and reproduces via seeds which develop within an
ovary.
