Read these two statements about plant-fungal interactions, then pick the statement below that is TRUE.
(A) Root fungi in phylum Ascomycota can cause plants to produce antioxidants that provide protection against the stress of drought, and plants feed carbon to
the fungi in their roots.
(B) Root fungi and plants have evolved mutual benefits through a long history of interaction, in which fungi that provided the greatest benefits to plants had the
highest fitness because of the carbon the plants fed them, and plants that supported fungi had the highest fitness because of the protection provided by the
fungi.
(A) is a proximate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is an ultimate cause.
O (A) is an ultimate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is a proximate cause.
Understanding plant-fungal interactions would NOT require cost-benefit analysis because there are no fitness trade-offs.
(A) is an innate behavior and (B) is a learned behavior.

What traits do bryophytes and tracheophytes have in common? Check all that you think apply.A) they both undergo alternation of generationsB) they both have chlorophylls a and b.C) they both have an asexual life cycle stage.D) they both have multicellular gametangiaE) they both have apical meristems
a) What role does 'alternation of generation' play in encouraging
survival of simple plants like the Bryophytes and Hepatophytes.
b) i) Anthrophytes also show alternation of generation. Identify
the structures that represent these two stages in its life cycle.
ii) Explain why the alternation of generation in Anthrophytes must
be different from that of the Bryophytes.(-
