Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the gymnosperms form a clade.
Introduction:
A clade is the basic unit of a cladogram. A cladogram is a treelike diagram that is based on historical relationships between taxa. A clade is a group of organisms with a common ancestor. The tips of the branches in a cladogram represent taxa.

Construct a phylogenetic tree for the following OTU
and use bars to denote their apomorphies
Create a hypothetical phylogenetic tree using 11 plant species listed below.
Chara, Nitella, Marchantia, Polytrichum, Equistem, Psilotum, Polypodium, Pinus, Zamia, Arabidopsis, and Lilium.
Divide the species into five specific groups (Charophytes, Bryophytes, Monolithophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms) which will be the clades of your phylogenetic tree.
Look at Fig. 33.1 and determine whether green algae, bryophytes, and vascular plants are monophyletic or paraphyletic.

- Constructing a Phylogenetic Tree Now, you are going to create and the interpret your own phylogenetic tree. Take a look at the characteristics for these organisms. Seeds? Plant Group Photosynthesis? Water-conducting Tissue? Flowers? Ferns X Gymnosperms Mosses X Angiosperms X Using the characteristics from the table above, determine where each of these organisms belongs on the tree below, then answer the questions. D В Which plant group belongs at position "B"? mosses gymnosperms angiosperms fernsarrow_forwardYou are asked to survey an area and identify all plant and animal species you come across. On your survey, you come across a plant you are not familiar with and must do some research to figure out what it is. To do this, your first step is to determine whether this plant is classified in the class Monocotyledonae or a Eudicotyledonae. Explain how you can tell if this plant is a Monocot or Eudicot by describing the differences in their flowers, seeds, roots, stems, and leaves. 1.arrow_forwardThis figure identifies lineages as plants, non-vascular plants, vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants. Which of these categories are paraphyletic and which are monophyletic?arrow_forward
