A

unicellular

12

what is the closest known living relative of land plants?

A

green algae (charophyceae)

26
Q

what is the key difference in Charophyceae and Embryophytes

A

charophycae have a haplontic life cycle and embryophytes had a sporic life cycle

27
Q

Transition from Haplontic to Sporic Life Cycle

Ancestral State

A

HaplonticLife cycle.Charophyceanalgae have zygotes (diploid) that undergo meiosis, producing haploid cells dispersed in water

Q

Matrotrophy

A

retention of embryo on maternal tissue with maternal nourishment.

embryo

A

young multicellular sporophyte (diploid).

32
Q

Synapomorphy

A

A character that is shared by two or more species and that is a derivedtrait for the group.

33
Q

Derived

A

resent in common ancestor of the group, but absent in earlier diverging relatives.

34
Q

We use synapomorphies to construct _______. They define clades

A

synapomorphies

35
Q

Pleisiomorphy

A

A character that is shared by two or more species but that is not unique to those species (or clade).

36
