Q

life cycle of bryophyta

A

sporic meiosis, alternation of generations
gametophyte (free living) is base and dominant phase
sporophyte is appendage on haploid (dependent)

Q

diff in sporophyte between seed plants and bryophyte

A

in bryo, gametophyte is free living

in seed, sporophyte (2n) is larger, free living form w small gametophyte

21
Q

asexual reproduction of bryophytes

A

many liverworts and mosses
gemma - derived by mitosis, asexual reproductive structure
gemmae splash out of cup from rain
develop into new gametophytes identical to parent

22
Q

embryo development of marchantia (bryophyte)

A

zygote remains in achegonium where nourished by gametophyte to develop into embryo
placenta (transfer cells) allows for nutrient transfer from gametophyte to sporophyte

23
Q

maturation of sporophyte

A

diploid
mature sporangium open to release spores
operculum cap opens when dries out

24
Q

most diverse phyla of bryophytes

A

mosses/bryophyta (10K)
liverwort/marchantiophyta (6K)
300 hornwort/anthocerophyta

25
Q

anthocerophyta/hornworts

A
only thalloid, unicell rhizoids
one chloroplast/cell
least div
ecological pioneers 
most have photosynthetic sporophytes with stomata
26
Q

marchantiophyta/liverworts

A

thalloid or leafy
unicell rhizoids
many chloroplasts/cell

27
Q

bryophyta/mosses

A

only leafy
multicell rhizoids
many chloroplasts/cell

28
Q

bryophyte sister to vasc plants?

A

hornworts/anthocerophyta even tho most simple

29
Q

totipotent cells

A

capacity of living cell to de-differentiate into meristematic state where cell can then differentiate into any structure (like stem cells)

30
Q

poikilohydry

A

capacity of org to experience extreme dehydration and fully recover
shut down during dessication and revive later

31
Q

haplontic life cycle

A

zygotic meiosis
mitoses only occur in haploid phase
hpaloid dom
most green algae

32
Q

diplontic life cycle

A

gametic meiosis
mitoses only occur in diploid phase
humans, animals
diploid dom, multicellular

33
Q

biphasic or haploid-diploid life cycle

A

sporic meiosis
cell div and vegetative growth occur in both haploid and diploid phases
land plants
multicell hap and dip

34
Q

number of mutations

dip v hap

A

dip - more mutations b/c 2X the targets

35
Q

efficiency of nat select - dip v hap

A

hap - all new mutations expressed

dip - new mutations can be MASKED

36
Q

deleterious mutations

A

more efficiently elim and have lower eq freq in haploids

37
Q

advantageous mutations

A

more efficiently fixed in haploids

less likely to be lost by chance. masking in dips causes fitness benefits of mutations to be partially lost

38
Q

somatic deleterious mutation

A

during development, not meiosis
favor dip
a hurtful allele can be masked
larger organisms with more cell types often have expanded diploid pahse

39
Q

heterozygote advantage

A

diploids
Hosts could have two alleles for parasitic recognition
Good for plants!!

40
Q

heterozygote disadvantage

A

parasites
2X ways to detect by hosts
bad

41
Q

tracheophytes

A

vasc land plants

monophyletic

42
Q

changes from bryophytes to lycophytes

A
  1. larger sporophytes
  2. lignified tracheids (xylem conducting tubes)
  3. vasc tissue w xylem and phloem
43
Q

oogamy v isogamy

A

oogamy - diff gametes (egg and sperm)

isogamy - gametes have similar morphology, ‘mating types’

44
Q

1st vascular plant

A

cooksonia

45
Q

time of vasc plants

A

400 million

46
Q

flowerign plants time

A

200 million

47
Q

carboniferous period

A

warm/wet swamos
362-290 million yr ago

48
Q

cooksonia

A

extinct vascular plant
only sporophyte (dip) known from fossil
branched
vv small

49
Q

3 tissue systems of plants

A

dermal - prevent water loss, protective
vasc - xylem and phloem
ground - rigidity, bulk, storage, photosynthesis

50
Q

stele

A

central column of vasc tissue in stem and root

xylem in middle then phloem
