Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants belong to kingdom plantae and are multicellular and autotrophic eukaryotes. They can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis, as they contain chloroplast, which captures light energy to make glucose. Plants include gymnosperms, flowering plants, conifers, hornworts, mosses, green algae, liverworts, and mosses.

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).
Organism 2 Field Notes: Specimen collected from Hunting Island state park in southern South Carolina. Beetle seem attracted to reproductive structures.
Laboratory Analysis: Body: Consists of stout trunk that terminates in crown of large plam- like leaves. Large seed bearing cone located between leaves at top of plant. Size: 2.0 meters tall Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid --chromosomes number is 24 Lignin test:
Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves: Present -- large, compound, evergreen
Roots: Present; also possess above ground roots that harbour cyanobacteria (symbiotic association) Stem:Present--- vascular tissue present Life History: Sporophyte dominant generation of life ---each bearing ether megasporangia or microsporangia but not both. Insects, especially beetles, appear important in pollination…
The discovery of a new species cannot change the structure of a previously proposed tree, but can only lead to the addition of a new branch.

Identify an interesting ecological or evolutionary research question, then design an experiment to address this question using a plant system. To come up with your research question, think of questions related to topics covered in lecture. The following questions are very general, but might give you some ideas as you develop your own, more specific, question.• Which species in a group of species is the best intraspecific competitor?• Which species in a group of species is the best interspecific competitor? • Is the best intraspecific competitor also the best interspecific competitor?• Does competitive exclusion occur between two species with similar ecological niches?• Does the outcome of interspecific competition change in different environments, or is the best competitor always the best competitor under all environmental conditions?• Similar to the question above –…arrow_forward
