These adaptations relate to reproductive success and survival advantages. The following questions require you to explain some of these adaptations. A. Contrast sperm delivery in seedless plants with sperm delivery in seed plants. (5-6 sentence) B. Discuss at least one feature of seed plants that contributed to their success on land in contrast with seedless plants. (2-3 sentences) C. Flowering plants (Magnoliophyta) are the most successful of all plant groups in terms of their species diversity and ubiquity across habitat types.

- Your class is studying the burrs – the seed pods – of the common burdock plant. Your lab partner notices that the burrs easily cling to clothing, as well as to each other, and that some of the spines have come loose and gotten stuck in her skin, which is somewhat painful. Based on these observations, is there a logical explanation, other than reproductive success, for why the seed might have this special structure? (a) Yes, the structure may help the seed cling to the soil so that it can take root more easily (b) yes, these structures may prevent the seeds from getting damaged or eaten by other animals (c) yes, the structures may help prevent the seeds from getting pulled from the plant by sticking to each other (d) No, they are obviously intended to attach to animals so that they can be carried and dropped elsewherearrow_forward1.

- Which of the following comparisons between the moss life cycle and fern life cycle are correct? A) Mosses have flagellated sperm that need water to reach the female gamete, while the sperm of ferns are unflagellated and are not dependent on water.B) The sporophyte generation is smaller than the gametophyte generation in mosses, but the sporophyte generation is much larger than the gametophyte generation in ferns.C) The spores are produced in capsules on stalks in mosses but in small structures called sori on the underside of leaves in ferns.D) The gametes are produced in gametangia in mosses but in specialized structures on the underside of leaves in ferns.E) Both kinds of plants depend on wind for dispersal of spores.arrow_forwardThe waterproof region around the radial and transverse walls of endodermal cells is the (a) Casparian strip (b) pericycle (c) apoplast (d) symplast (e) pneumatophorearrow_forwardIn plant life cycles, (a) the first products of meiosis are gametes (b) spores are part of the diploid sporophyte generation (c) the embryo gives rise to a zygote (d) the first stage in the diploid sporophyte generation is the zygote (e) the first stage in the haploid gametophyte generation is the prothallusarrow_forward
