Green algae are the closest relatives of land plants.

Land plants descended from modern charophytes (green algae).

Which of the following are adaptations found in plants but NOT charophytes? (May be more than 1 correct answer.)

There are two multicellular stages of plants: it is either a [blank_start]gametophyte[blank_end], the haploid stage (n) or it is the [blank_start]sporophyte[blank_end] (2n).

Gameotophytes produce haploid gametes by [blank_start]mitosis[blank_end], whereas sporophytes produce haploid spores by [blank_start]meiosis[blank_end].

Due to the dependency of embryo on the parent, land plants are called ___ .

Nutrients transferred from parent to embryo through

Spores ([blank_start]2[blank_end]n) are produced in organs called [blank_start]sporangia[blank_end]. Gametes ([blank_start]1[blank_end]n) are produced in organs called [blank_start]gametophytes[blank_end].

Nonvascular plants are called [blank_start]bryophytes[blank_end]. They are nonvascular because they lack [blank_start]vascular tissue[blank_end].
