algae.
c.
meiosis proceeds at a faster pace in green algae than in
plants.
d.
chlorophyll pigments in green algae are different from
those in green plants.
e.
only plants form a cell plate during cytokinesis.
_2.The most recent common ancestor of all land plants was most similar to modern-day members of which group?
a.
Cyanobacteria
b.
red algae
c.
Charophycea
d.
brown algae
e.
golden algae

a.pollen transported by wind
b.tracheids
c.microscopic gametophytes
d.sterile sporophylls, modified to attract pollinators
e.endosperm
____
4. All of the following cellular structures are found in cells of angiosperm and gymnosperm gametophytes
except
a.haploid nuclei.
b.mitochondria.
c.cell walls.
d.chloroplasts.
e.peroxisomes.
____
5. A botanist discovers a new species of land plant with a dominant sporophyte, chlorophylls a and b, and a cell
wall made of cellulose. In assigning this plant to a phylum, all of the following would provide useful
information except whether or not the plant has
a.endosperm.
b.seeds.
c.flagellated sperm.
d.flowers.
e.spores.
____
6. Which of the following is characteristic of alternation of generations in land plants?
a.Haploid sporophytes make haploid spores.
b.Gametophytes produce spores that develop into gametes.
c.Sporophytes and gametophytes are typically similar in appearance.
d.Meiosis in sporophytes produces haploid spores.
e.Either the gametophyte or the sporophyte is unicellular.
____
7. On a field trip, a student in a marine biology class collects an organism that has differentiated organs, cell
walls of cellulose, and chloroplasts with chlorophyll a. Based on this description, the organism could be a
brown alga, a red alga, a green alga, a charophycean recently washed into the ocean from a freshwater or
brackish water source, or a land plant washed into the ocean. Which of the following features would
definitively identify this organism as a land plant?
a.presence of alternation of generations
b.presence of sporopollenin
c.presence of rosette cellulose-synthesizing complexes
d.presence of flagellated sperm
e.presence of embryos
____
8. Sporophylls can be found in which of the following?
a.mosses
b.liverworts
c.hornworts
d.pterophytes
e.charophyceans
9.
Which of the following is not true concerning the sporophyte or gametophyte generations of
flowering plants?
a.
The flower is composed of gametophyte tissue only.
b.
The sporophyte generation is dominant.
c.
The sporophyte generation is what we see when looking at
a large plant.
d.
The gametophyte generation is not photosynthetic.
e.
The gametophyte generation consists of relatively few
cells within the flower.
10. .All of the following cellular structures are found in cells of angiosperm and gymnosperm gametophytes except
a.
haploid nuclei.
b.
mitochondria.
c.
cell walls.
d.
chloroplasts.

peroxisomes.
____ 11. Seeds commonly provide for each of the following except
a.a choice of germination location.
b.dispersal.
c.dormancy.
d.a nutrient supply for the embryo.
e.desiccation resistance.

a.pollen transported by wind
b.tracheids
c.microscopic gametophytes
d.sterile sporophylls, modified to attract pollinators
e.endosperm
