Question
Chapter 32, Problem 2TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The order of the evolution of various characters can be understood by arranging the organisms having the simple characteristic of any organ to those who are having a highly specialized version of the organ serving for the same function. The plants originated from a very simple thallus structure that developed into variously specialized tissue such as complex vascular conducting system, development of the compound flowers and so on.

Give five plant examples each:
A. Auxiliary or lateral buds
B. Terminal or apical bud,
C. accessory buds
D. adventitious buds
Which of these is a feature not present in seedless plants that have contributed to the success of seed plants on land?
a. Seeds have four layers of protective tissue, the seed coat, that improve survival by providing more protection from
environmental stresses.
b. The reduced gametophytes of seed plants are nurtured by sporophytes and protected from stress, such as drought
conditions and UV radiation.
c. Seed germination is solely mediated by water during episodes of heavy rain.
d. Pollen grains, with walls containing sporopollenin, deter herbivores.
