Chapter 26.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To identify:
Three derived traits that distinguish plants from charophytes and facilitate life on land.
Introduction:
Charophyta are green algae and terrestrial plants emerged from this group.Chlorophyta are the sister group of charophytes. The various groups of charophytes have different and complex reproductive organs and they can be found in hard water with calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate dissolved with tolerance to low concentration of salt.
