25
stem
increases dispersal of spores through wind caused by lifting of sporangium by elongated placental transfer cells clear color, no PS, parasitic on host plant embryophytes
26
Pros and cons of embryophyte adaptations
Pros: upright sporophyte allows for better dispersal, 2n reduced mutations, shape allows for less heat absorption Cons: limited growth potential, semelparous sporophyte, parasitic sporophyte, cuticle covered sporophyte can't get oxygen
27
stomatal complexes
allows for opening in cuticle, can be opened/closed for water and gas exchange, lets heat escape thru water embryophytes
28
Tracheophyte synapomorphies
branching, vascular tissue, diploid dominance
29
branching
doubles fitness potential by doubling spore output per sporophyte still semelparous, can be made iteroparous by making more stems without sporangia size limited by water transfer to top cells (sun dries them out) after sporophyte is established, gametophyte undergoes senescence back to gametophytic semelparity sporophytes are now PS tracheophyta
30
vascular tissue
xylem, tracheids, phloem very expensive to make, no PS cells that support and transfer materials thru plant, let them grow bigger tracheophyta
31
xylem
wood, water conducting cells, faster transfer, structural support part of vascular tissue tracheophyta
32
phloem
food transfer cells vascular tissue from tracheophyta
33
diploid dominance
allows for less impact from UVB induced mutations allows for functionality in a wider environmental gradient 2n is more expensive to replicate more genetic load tracheophyta

37
What enabled leaves?

39
sequence that produced leaves

40
homospory
single spore establishes bisexual gametophyte all spores are identical sexual expression occurs when egg/sperm are produced pros: relatively cheap and small, colonization potential cons: heterozygosity issues, low initial offspring fitness
41
When is sexual expression in heterospory?
When spores are being produced
42
Microspores
produce male gametes that only make sperm
43
megaspores
produce female gametes that only make eggs
44
Heterospory
Two kind of sporangium make two kinds of spores Earlier gender expression Free-sporing in ferns and lycopods can't diffuse using wind since spores are too small
45
free-sporing
heterosporous ferns and lycopods spores released into environment where they develop gametophytes
46
Ovules
spermatophytes integumented sporangia megasporangia surrounded by parental cup-shaped tissue (integuments) Opening at top allows microspores in to form embryo ovule becomes seed after fertilization
47
Pollen
male gamete in the wind
48
How do ovules catch microgametes?
Release water at the tip of ovule, catch gamete, gamete releases hormone causing ovule to bring it back in
49
Anthophyta synapomorphies

50
flower
