A botanist is studying the phylogenetic relationships of plants using only their their morphological traits. Would specialized plants (like desert
or rainforest plants) complicate this process, why or why not?

Select all that apply:
a. Yes; they often appear similar but are not closely related to each
other
Ob.
Yes; their traits are similar to plants across many environments
c.
No; their traits are shared by a common ancestor
Od. Yes; they gained different traits than their close relatives

Why is Plant Taxonomy considered as the most basic and most derived/ synthetic field of Biology? Explain the significance and relevance of studying Plant Taxonomy.
You 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.

- 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_forwardEvaluate the following statements about seeds from two biology textbooks: I. The seed coat is an adaptation that protects the plant embryo from damage, water loss, and infection. II. Evolution has come up with a clever solution for protecting plant embryos: seed coats that prevent damage, water loss, and infection. Do these statements accurately represent the evolution of seeds? a) Yes, both statements are accurate. b) No, neither statement is accurate. c) Only the first statement is accurate.arrow_forwardConstructing a Phylogenetic Tree Now, you are going to create and the interpret your own phylogenetic tree.

- Review the life cycles of the three major plant groups (bryophyte or non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants). Be able to identify the gametophyte and sporophyte generations in each plant group. Make one graph that shows patterns of changes in the following characteristics, as the different plant groups (bryophytes or non-vascular plants, seedless vascular plants, and seed plants) appeared or evolved on land through time. 1) size of the gametophyte generation 2) size of the sporophyte generation 3) biomass (amount of organic material) stored in the sporophyte 4) degree of dependence on water for fertilization Make sure the y- and x- axes of the graph, labels and title are included and correctly applied.arrow_forwardSummarize (very briefly) the evolutionary history of plants. You might just give the order in which they are thought to have evolved. What are the most recently evolved type of plants?arrow_forwardPhylogenetic trees are used to show the evolutionary relationships among various biological species and are usually based upon shared derived characters. In constructing phylogenetic trees, it is useful to first draw up a character table to show the presence or absence of characters among the various groups of organisms being studied. a. Draw up a character table based upon the following shared derived characters of land plants: flowers, seeds, vascular tissues, and dependent embryos. Your character table must include the names/descriptions of the plant groups that are being characterized. b. Construct a phylogenetic tree based on this data.arrow_forward

This suggests, Select one: O a. There was a single transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats b. Flowering plants arose first O c. No changes have occurred in lands plants since they transition to a terrestrial habitat O d. Wind-pollinated plants arose first e. There were many transitions from aquatic to terrestrial habitatsarrow_forwardCreate a hypothetical phylogenetic tree.arrow_forward
- Explain why plants being polyploid makes using the phylogenetic species concept difficult to use. Be sure to explain how the phylogenetic species concept attempts to classify organisms into distinct species. How can scientists still use the phylogenetic species concept to classify land plants, despite the majority being polyploid? (What do they do to get around this problem?)arrow_forwardLinnaeus is considered as father of taxonomy. Name two other botanists known for their contribution to the field of plant taxonomy?arrow_forwardSome ancestral plants had a difficult transition to land, as challenges to survive caused plant evolution to develop very specialized adaptations over an extended amount of time. These are some of the challenges that plants faced: A. Avoiding desiccation B. Supporting larger bodies (against gravity) C Internally transporting substances D. Keeping gametes wet E. Keeping embryos wet For each of the above challenges. provide a structure/adaptation that plants have developed which mitigates that specific challenge. Must describe a structure or trait for all!arrow_forward
