Summary Introduction

To determine: The evolutionary significance of a choanoflagellate.

Introduction: Chloroplasts are the organelles that are necessary for photosynthesis. They are found exclusively in plant cells and some cells of algae. They contain the pigment chlorophyll that is used for driving the process as it contains various proteins that convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate molecules.

Fig.1: The phylogenetic relationship between red, green and brown algae

The autotrophs are the organisms that can synthesize their food by the process of photosynthesis. They harvest the energy from sunlight and convert it into usable form carbohydrate cause glucose. The autotrophs include plants, some bacteria, and algae. The algae are of three types depending upon the pigment present in their chloroplast. These three groups are Phaeophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Chlorophyceae. The green algae Chlorophyceae is known to give rise to land plants that are modern-day photosynthetic organisms.

The embryos of diploid plants are ____________. Group of answer choices diploid Haploid, diploid or tetraploid could all be correct because the ploidy number varies depending on the embryo’s developmental stage. tetraploid None of answers shown are correct because embryos lack genetic material. haploid
Explain why plants being polyploid makes using the phylogenetic species concept difficult to use. Be sure to explain how the phylogenetic species concept attempts to classify organisms into distinct species. How can scientists still use the phylogenetic species concept to classify land plants, despite the majority being polyploid? (What do they do to get around this problem?)
