Study Notes
Kingdom Plantae: Evolutionary Tree
- The evolutionary tree of plants shows the progression from primitive to more advanced traits.
- The green alga ancestor is the common ancestor of all plants.
Characteristics of Seed Plants
- All seed plants are heterosporous vascular plants.
- Three major reproductive adaptations of seed plants:
- Gametophyte reduced to dependence on sporophyte, retained in moist reproductive tissue.
- Seed: a highly resistant structure that allows for a dormant phase in the life cycle, protecting the "baby plant" and its nutrients.
- Evolution of pollen as male gametophyte, allowing for fertilization without external water.
Common Ancestor of Seed Plants
- The common ancestor of seed plants gave rise to both gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- Gymnosperms and angiosperms share a common ancestor that evolved seeds.
