    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.
