Chapter 26.4, Problem 3CC

MAKE CONNECTIONS Suppose the Bennettitales and extant angiosperms are sister taxa. Draw a phylogenetic tree that includes Bennettitales, angiosperms, gymnosperms, monilophytes, and lycophytes. Identify the common ancestor and circle the basal taxon (see Figure 20.5).

One of the major phylogenetic conclusions of this study is: choose one    a.   The Ginkgoales are the sister group to angiosperms among extant gymnosperms.   b.   There is no sister group to angiosperms among extant gymnosperms.   c.   The Cycads are the sister group to angiosperms among extant gymnosperms.   d.   The Gnetales are the sister group to angiosperms among extant gymnosperms.   e.   The Conifers are the sister group to angiosperms among extant gymnosperms.
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.
Which of the following statements characterize the megaphyll line of evolution? A) They differ from microphylls by developing a single, unbranched vein rather than a branched vascular system.B) They are believed to have evolved from branching telomeres that flattened and developed photosynthetic tissue between the branches.C) They developed into leaves that can also be called lycophyllsD) They developed into the large leaves of the angiosperms
