Introduction:
Water, food and other substances are transported throughout the plant with the help of vascular tissues in plants. Vascular tissue is of two type phloem and xylem. Xylem helps in transportation of water and dissolved minerals from roots to other part of plants and phloem helps in transportation of food (starch) from leaves to other part of plants.
Answer to Problem 5STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (d) vascular tissue.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (d) vascular tissue. The vascular tissue helps in transportation of food, water and other dissolved substances. Development of vascular tissues in plants contributed most to the evolution of large trees because in large trees transportation of water and minerals from roots to topmost leaves of plants is difficult due to gravitational pull. Thus, a developed vascular tissue helps in proper transportation of water, food and dissolved substance. So, the correct answer is option (d).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) alteration of generations. Alteration of generations is also known as metagenesis. Plants alternate between the haploid gametophyte and diploid sporophyte, and between sexual and asexual reproduction. So, alteration of generation cannot be a correct answer.
Option (b) flowers. Flowers are the reproductive structure found in all flowering plants. Flowers can be unisexual or bisexual. Unisexual flowers have only the female or male reproductive organ and bisexual flowers have both male and female reproductive organs. Male reproductive organ is known as androecium and female reproductive organ is known as gynoecium. So, flowers cannot be a correct answer.
Option (c) seeds. Ovule after fertilization develops into seeds. Seeds are an embryonic plant inside a seed coat which is formed from the integuments of the ovule. Formation of seeds is an important development in reproduction which helped
Development of vascular tissue in plants contributed most to the evolution of large trees. Hence, the correct answer is option (d) vascular tissue.

- Question #4: Assume you are able to use CRISPR to create an allele that will convert a cross-pollinated, sexually reproducing crop plant into an obligate apomict. Your edited obligate apomict plants retains all the CRISPR "machinery" necessary to convert the "sexually reproducing" allele to the "obligate apomict" allele. You plant 100 hectares of your edited obligate apomicts in order to increase seed for sale the following year. Neighboring farms and seed producers are growing many different un-edited sexually reproducing varieties of the crop. If your neighbors plant seed harvested from their crops that was pollinated by your crop, should they expect these seeds to generate apomictic or non-apomictic plants?
