VISUALIZE construct a cladogram based on the following data. Mosses are plants with no vascular tissue. Horse-tails, ferns, gymnosperms (pines and other plants with naked seeds), and angiosperms (flowering plants) are all vascular plants. Seeds are absent in all but the gymnosperms and angiosperms. Angiosperms are the only seed plants with flowers. (Hint: To help you construct the cladogram, draw a simple table showing which characters are present in each group. See Fig. 23-9.)

Explain your reasoning. Figure 28-2 Gymnosperm and angiosperm evolution This cladogram shows a current hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships among living seed plants, based on structural evidence, molecular comparisons, and fossils. Relationships among extant gymnosperm clades and angiosperms remain controversial. The arrangement of the phyla shown here may change as future analyses help clarify relationships.arrow_forward
- Part B: The Embryo Sac Examine the demonstration slide of a c.s. of a lily ovary. Find an ovule. Identify the funiculus, the chalaza, the integuments, the micropyle, and the developing female gametophyte. The latter is commonly referred to as the embryo sac in angiosperms. If your slide has several embryo sacs, they are likely to be at variable stages of development. (See text Figure 19-18b,c, page 469.) Like the female gametophyte in pine, the embryo sac develops from a megaspore. 5. Label the ovary wall, ovule, integuments, and developing embryo sac in Figures 3. and 4. below. Figure 3.
