Study Notes

Evolution and Diversification

  • Adaptive radiation is the process by which a single ancestral species evolves into an array of different species to fill different ecological niches.

Plant Classification

  • Rosales, Fabales, and Poales are terms that indicate a group of flowering plants, specifically an order in botany.
  • The suffix '-ales' in botany indicates an order of plants.
  • The suffix '-aceae' in botany indicates a family of plants.

Kingdom Protista

  • The primary characteristic of the Kingdom Protista is that it is a non-unified group of organisms.
  • Organisms that were previously classified under the Kingdom Protista include:
    • Slime molds and water molds
    • Algae and green plants
    • Predatory protists
    • Decomposers and parasites

Land Plants and Flowering Plants

  • Embryophytes, also known as 'land plants', are descended from green algae.
  • Angiosperms are the group of flowering plants that:
    • Have the most recent lineages
    • Are divided into basal angiosperms, magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots
  • Monocots and eudicots are groups of flowering plants that:
    • Include Muhlenbergia capillaris and Hydrangea quercifolia, respectively
  • ANA grade angiosperms are the earliest of all flowering plants and arose before the split between monocots and eudicots.

Plant Characteristics

  • Plants that reproduce by spore and are dependent on water for reproduction are:
    • Non-vascular plants
  • Plants that have vascular tissue and reproduce with spores are:
    • Vascular plants
  • Plants that reproduce with seeds and have vascular tissue are:
    • Seed plants
  • Plants that have an improved vascular system, flowers, double fertilization, and fruits are:
    • Angiosperms

Convergent Evolution

  • Convergent evolution is the phenomenon where different species independently evolve similar traits due to similar environmental pressures.
