If a virus has an RNA genome, which characteristic would you MOST likely expect it to exhibit?
Slow evolution
High genomic stability
Long lifespan
Rapid evolution
How do the wings on pollen grains of some plants contribute to their reproductive success?
Increased dispersal by wind
Attracting pollinating insects
Protection from desiccation
Enhanced nutrient absorption
From an evolutionary perspective, the retention of the female gametophyte with a developing young embryo on the parent sporophyte offers what primary advantage?
Enhanced embryo protection and nutrition
Increased spore dispersal efficiency
Improved gamete fusion rates
Reduced dependence on water for fertilization
In which plant group is the retention of the female gametophyte with the developing embryo on the parent sporophyte first observed as a significant evolutionary step?
Bryophytes
Heterosporous vascular plants
Gymnosperms
Green algae
The evolutionary adaptation of retaining the female gametophyte on the parent sporophyte is a precursor to which significant development in plant reproduction?
Spore dispersal
Vegetative propagation
Seed habit
Double fertilization
Unlike its predecessors, the retention of the female gametophyte on the parent sporophyte allows for:
Increased spore production
Enhanced photosynthesis
Reduced reliance on water for fertilization
Improved dispersal of spores
Phylogenetic system of classification is based on
Evolutionary relationships
Morphological features
Chemical constituents
Floral characters
In angiosperms floral features are commonly used for identification, why?
Flower can be preserved easily
Flower are attractive to work with
Flower have aroma and different colour
Reproductive parts are more conservative
The positive evidence of aquatic ancestory of bryophytes is indicated by
Ciliated sperms
Gametophytic body
Biflagellate gametes
Peristomial teeth
