Draw a phylogeny of the following groups of the Archiplastida: red algae, charophytes, mosses, lycophytes, pterophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms.
Mark on the phylogeny at least six evolutionary transitions in life cycle.
Can you please draw on a sheet of paper
You have been hired as research assistant to investigate the origins of the angiosperms, specifically the boundary between a gymnosperm and an angiosperm. Which characteristics would you use to clearly define a new fossil as a gymnosperm? An angiosperm?
Ferns, such as the one in the picture, can be found today. they are usually found growing in warming climates. However, fossils of ferns have been found in places with cold climates where it often snows today. What can we conclude about the place where the fossils of ferns have been found? A) ferns used to live in cold climates. B) these places once had a warmer climate. C) these places once had a colder climate D) someone tired to grow ferns in cold climates
