In this abbreviated diagram, identify the four major plant groups and the key terrestrial adaptation associated with each of the three major branch points.
To determine: The four major plant group and their key terrestrial adaptation associated with each of the three major branch points.
Introduction:
The evolution of plants started with the origin of land plants that included the bryophytes. Land plants developed apical meristem and the embryos. After the land plants, the origin of vascular plants occurred. They involved the seedless fern and mosses. Lastly, the origin of seeded plants occurred. This includes the angiosperms and the gymnosperms.
Answer to Problem 1CC
Pictorial representation: The highlights of plant evolution are depicted in Fig.1.
Fig.1: The major events in plant evolution.
Explanation of Solution
The three distinct adaptations which gave rise to the four major plant groups are:
(1)
Correct answer: The origin of land plants.
Explanation:
The first terrestrial adaptation includes the origin of land plants. Their development included presence of the meristem and the embryos within the parent.
They include the major plant group (a) the bryophytes. The bryophytes are the non vascular plants and they evolved from the green algae about 475 million years ago. It included the development of apical meristem and embryos. For example: Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Hence, the correct answer is origin of land plants.
(2)
Correct answer: The origin of vascular plants.
Explanation:
The second adaptation includes the origin of vascular plants. It included the development of vascular tissues that helped the plants to grow tall and move away from the moist environment. They were now able to transport water to the leaves from the roots.
They include plant group (b) the seedless vascular plants. They evolved about 425 million years ago and include the ferns, club mosses and the horsetails. Hence, the correct answer is origin of vascular plants.
(3)
Correct answer: The origin of seed plants.
Explanation:
The third adaptation includes the origin of seed plants. They included the vascular seed plants. The seeds provided protection and dispersion of the embryos.
They include two major groups of plants:
Group (c) Gymnosperms: They include the seeded plants which have their seeds within the cones. They evolved about 360 million years ago. For example: pines, fir and spruce.
Group (d) Angiosperms: They include the vascular seeded plants that bear flowers. They evolved about 360 million years ago along with the gymnosperms. For example: rose, maple trees and oak trees. Hence, the correct answer is origin of seed plants.

It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
