Question

eukaryotic diversity: plant clades
put the items in the correct order from earliest development to more recent
vascular tissue
seeds
flowers
check answer
match the items.
a. bryophyte
b. fern
c. monocot
d. gymnosperm
e. eudicot

1. fern
2. mosses
3. pine
4. grasses
5. tomato plant

Explanation:

• Order from earliest to recent:
• Vascular tissue evolved first. Ferns (which have vascular tissue) are an example. Bryophytes (like mosses) lack vascular tissue.
• Seeds evolved after vascular tissue. Gymnosperms (like pines) have seeds.
• Flowers are a more recent evolutionary feature. Angiosperms (monocots like grasses and eudicots like tomato plants) have flowers.
• Matching:
• Ferns are vascular plants (b).
• Mosses are bryophytes (a).
• Pines are gymnosperms (d).
• Grasses are monocots (c).
• Tomato plants are eudicots (e).

Answer:

• Order: Vascular tissue (1), Seeds (2), Flowers (3)
• Matching:

1. Fern - b
2. Mosses - a
3. Pine - d
4. Grasses - c
5. Tomato plant - e
