Bio1151 Chapter 29 Plant Diversity I: How Plants Colonized Land
  1. Land plants ( kingdom          ) are a diverse group that evolved from        algae.







     
     
     
     
  2. Four innovations among the kingdom Plantae are:
     
     
     
     
    • Alternation of              , with multicellular, dependent          .



       
       
       
       
    • Multicellular            which produce spores.

       
       
       
       
    • Multicellular             which produce gametes.

       
       
       
       
    • Apical            in root and shoot systems.


     
     
     
     
  3. Bryophytes lack           tissue with three phyla of small herbaceous plants.





     
     
     
     
    • The large gametophytes produce          which fuse to yield small              .

       
       
       
       
    • Sporophytes produce haploid         which grow to become the               .


     
     
     
     
  4. Vascular plants possess specialized vascular tissues called        and         .

     
     
     
     
  5. Seedless vascular plants have life cycles with dominant              and form two phyla.

     
     
     
     
    • Lycophyta includes       mosses,        mosses, and             .

       
       
       
       
    • Pterophyta includes        ,             , and        ferns and their relatives.

       
       
       
       
    • Seedless vascular plants grew to great heights during the                period and may have led to global cooling.
