Discuss 3 adaptations forterrestrial life that occurred during the evolution of greenplants. For each adaptation, notethe taxonomic group (using proper classification) in which the trait firstappeared and explain howthe adaptation benefitsthe group in terms of desiccation,support, reproduction, or dispersal on landwith respect to the aquatic condition.
1) Describe one evolutionary adaptation of the live protist species Stentor and be sure to explain how the trait increases survival/reproduction.
2) Describe one evolutionary adaptation of the live protist species Spirostomum and be sure to explain how the trait increases survival/reproduction.
1. Plants and animals do not share a common multicellular ancestor. These seprate evolutionary events led to different methods of achieving complex multicelularity in these groups. Why do plants and animals differ with regards to their development and how do they differ?
2. Describe the evolutionary trend with regards to alternation of generations in land plants?
