Students have asked these similar questions
Compare and contrast bryophytes (e.g. mosses) and seedless vascular plants (e.g. ferns). What differences exist between these classifications of plants, and how have these differences become evolutionarily advantageous?
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.
One evident apomorphy evolved in vascular plants is the establishment of true leaves which is characterized by the incorporation of the vascular system. Select one: True False The calyptra in mosses generally function in the regulation of gas exchange and water uptake. Select one: True False Elaters are non-sporogenous cells with spiral wall thickenings and is mainly for spore dispersal of liverworts. Select one: O True False
