What makes the ANA group of flowering plants a grade rather than a clade? O they lack the important synapomorphies that define angiosperms their most recent common ancestor is also an ancestor of the mesangiosperms they lack the mesangiosperm-defining whole genome duplications they lack the important synapomorphies that define mesangiosperms O they lack a common evolutionary ancestor within the Angiospermae

The work of plant taxonomists of the 20th century who identified /established the different families of flowering plants based mainly on morphological and anatomical details is still valued and being used today, despite the general acceptance of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) as a classification system for the flowering plants. Why is it so?
After following the life cycle of an unknown plant species, you determine it's life cycle in the following order: sporophyte -> meiosis -> gametophyte -> gametes -> double fertilization -> diploid zygote. Which plant group would you place this species? O pteridophyte O basidiomycete O bryophyte angiosperm O gymnosperm MacBook Pro Search or type URL 2$ 4 7 8
In regards to flowering plants which of the following would be the best example of a symplesiomorphy and a synapomorphy respectively?

Now you will practice identifying the phylogenetic tree that corresponds to a given character table. The following table shows three key events in the evolution of plants: the development of vascular tissue, the development of flowers, and the development of seeds. Plant groups Vascular Tissue Flowers Seeds Gymnosperms 1 0 1 Mosses 0 0 0 Ferns 1 0 0 Angiosperms 1 1 1 Select the phylogenetic tree that correctly represents the data in the character table.
Monilophytes and seed plants both have megaphylls, as well as other traits not found in lycophytes. Explain this observation using the Figure in the picture and the concept of descent with modification.
