Think about the Coniferophyta and the Magnoliophyta of this chapter. Which has more families, genera, and species? Which has more diversity of body types? Which has species in the greatest number of habitats (deserts, forests, rain forests, underwater, grasslands, marshes, epiphytic habitats, and so on). Which group originated earlier in evolution, and which originated later? The older group has had more time to diversify. Is it the more diverse of the two?

Bryophytes can be found in every type of habitation, except in the oceans, thus reflecting the progressive species expansion occurred along the evolution. However, bryophytes rarely succeed in the ecosystem. Why do you think so? Give three reasons.
Horsetalls are a group of seedless vascular plants are often representative of a separate evolutionary line of Pteridophytes. The photo below illustrates an unusual difference between the Pteridophytes and the Equisetales. Which answer below best represents this unusual difference? a Equisetales have a separate vegetative and fertile shoots Equisetales are gametophyte dominant Equisetales don't produce spores Equisetale sporophytes are nutritionally dependent upon the gametophyte phase MacBoo
Bullet items are selections for the question above it 1.The seedless vascular plants not only include well-known plants such as ferns but also groups of plants called horsetails and club mosses. These plants originally arose after the bryophytes. Which of the following statements describes why seedless vascular plants are better adapted to dry land than the bryophytes? Seedless vascular plants have spores that can distribute on the wind. Seedless vascular plants have larger leaves, or fronds, that are more effective in absorbing nutrients from the environment. Seedless vascular plants have vascular tissue and roots to effectively absorb and distribute water and nutrients throughout the plant. 2. However, seedless vascular plants are still heavily dependent on water for reasons other than keeping hydrated. Which of the following statements correctly explains how seedless vascular plants are still dependent on water? Seedless vascular plants require water…

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Answers Bryophytes and ferns have the same type of life cycle Bryophytes were the first land plants In ferns, the dominant generation is the diploid stage organism The adaptation of seeds allowed plants to sexually reproduce on land without the need for water All of the above are true Please explain which one is correct.
Many fungi are decomposers and degrade organic matter (such as wood and leaf litter). It has become clear that many of these decomposers are also able to colonize live plants as endophytes (living inside the plant without causing any harm) and allowing for prime access to plant tissues once the plant dies. Explain, using the principles of natural selection, how having the ability to be both a decomposer and endophyte evolved. Make sure you include the four steps of evolution by natural selection in your response.
