phylogeny

the evolutionary history of relationships

phylogenetic tree

a diagrammatic reconstruction of evolutionary history

clade

represents all the descendants of a single common ancestor, are monophyletic

monopyletic

contains an ancestor and all descendants of that ancestor

ancestral trait

the original character state of the common ancestor

derived trait

when the ancestral trait changes into something new

synapomorphies

shared derived traits that provide evidence of the common ancestor of a group

convergent evolution

when traits evolve multiple times independently

evolutionary reversal

when a character is reverted from a derived state back to an ancestral state

homoplasies

a character shared by a set of species but not present in their common ancestor

horizontal gene transfer

refers to the transfer of genes between organisms in a manner other than traditional reproduction

endosymbiosis

when an independent bacteria is devoured by a eukaryote and integrates itself into the anatomy of the eukaryote

primary endosymbiosis

synapomorphy of Plantae`

Secondary Endosymbiosis

a eukaryote engulfed a green algae cell which became a chloroplast

red algae

simple plants, only have chlorophyll A

green plants

plants that have chlorophyll A and B, store carbs as starch

channels, holes in cell wall

parenchyma

basic tissue type in streptophytes with cells linked by plasmodesmata

cuticle

waxy coating that slows water loss

stomata

closable openings that regulate gas exchange

gametangia

organs that enclose gametes and prevent them from drying out, archegonia and antheridia

embryos

young plants contained within a protective structure

pigments

protect against UV

sporopollenin

protects spores, prevents drying and resists decay

gametophyte

haploid generation, makes gametes by mitosis

sporophyte

diploid generation, makes spores by meiosis

Bryophytes

not a true clade, represents liverworts, mosses, and hornworts

Vascular Plants

have independent sporophyte, internal conduction of water and sucrose

Xylem

conducts water

Phloem

conducts food

Roots

absorb water and minerals

Leaves

photosynthesize

Lycophytes

have strobili,

Euphyllophytes

all vascular plants except lycophytes, have megaphylls

Monilophytes

horsetails and ferns

Leptosporangiate Ferns

sporangia walls only one cell thick, require lisuid water for reproduction, both gametophyte and sporophyte generations are independent

indusium

tissue covering for sori

seed plants

have capacity for secondary growth, extremely reduced gametophytes, seeds present

heterospory

two kinds of sporangia produce two kinds of spore which lead to two kinds of gametophytes

megasporangium

female sporangia

microsporangium

male sporangia

Megasporangia ->

Megaspore

Megaspore ->

Megagametophyte (Ovule)

Megagametophyte ->

Archegonia + Egg

Dioecious

having the male and female reproductive organs in separate individuals

secondary growth

increasing diameter rather than height

gymnosperms

'unprotected seed' plants

cycad

dioecious, strobili, palm-like gymnosperm

Ginkgo

one remaining species, fan-shaped leaves

angiosperms

seed plants with reproductive organs in flowers, seeds enclosed in fruits,

endosperm

nutritive triploid tissue in angiosperm seeds

cotyledon

embryonic leaves

Amborella

rare genus that split off from angiosperms early on

10

if spores of a moss have 10 chromosomes, how many are in the gametophyte?

companion cells

these are directly involved with pressure-flow model for moving sucrose through a plant

tracheid

cell type that helps move water though many vscular plants

what produces the sperm cell?

club moss

a low-growing green plant that resembles a large moss, having branching stems with undivided leaves, lack megaphylls

megagametophyte

another word for the ovule in a seed plant

endosperm

what is the triploid part of an angiosperm seed?
