What is the main focus of phytomorphology?
What is the main focus of phytomorphology?
- The physical form and external structure of plants (correct)
- The molecular processes involved in plant diversification
- The internal structure of plants at a microscopic level
- The comparison of structures in different species
How is morphology in plant morphology comparative?
How is morphology in plant morphology comparative?
- It focuses on the molecular processes involved in determining plant morphologies
- The morphologist examines structures in many different plants of the same or different species, then draws comparisons and formulates ideas about similarities (correct)
- It investigates the conservation and diversification of plant morphologies at a molecular level
- It studies the internal structure of plants at a microscopic level
What do homologous structures refer to?
What do homologous structures refer to?
- Structures examined by plant anatomists at a microscopic level
- Structures believed to exist and develop as a result of common, inherited genetic pathways (correct)
- Structures resulting from molecular processes involved in determining plant diversification
- Structures found in different species that serve similar functions
