Chapter 32, Problem 2TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The order of the evolution of various characters can be understood by arranging the organisms having the simple characteristic of any organ to those who are having a highly specialized version of the organ serving for the same function. The plants originated from a very simple thallus structure that developed into variously specialized tissue such as complex vascular conducting system, development of the compound flowers and so on.
