Q
Reproductive approach
A
Desiccation of reproductive structure •protection or reproductive structures, seeds Fertilization without or limited water Reduction of the gametophyte Trend toward short haploid stage Trend toward diploid embryo protection
1
Q
Biomechanical approAch
A
Desiccation- waxy cuticle and stomata
Moving against gravity-moving water using tracheids•tracheaophytes have tracheids/xylem and phloem conduct water and food
Direct radiation, no water to filter sin wavelengths •dealing with uv radiation caused mutations•shift to a dominant diploid generation
