Exam 30: Plant Diversity II: The Evolution of Seed Plants

The following questions refer to the generalized life cycle for land plants shown in Figure 30.1. Each number within a circle or square represents a specific plant or plant part, and each number over an arrow represents either meiosis, mitosis, or fertilization. Figure 30.1 -In angiosperms, which number in Figure 30.1 most nearly represents the event that initiates the formation of endosperm?

The next few questions refer to the following description. Match the animal features with the appropriate angiosperm analog. Oviparous (egg-laying) animals have internal fertilization (sperm cells encounter eggs within the female's body). Yolk and/or albumen is (are) provided to the embryo, and a shell is then deposited around the embryo and its food source. Eggs are subsequently deposited in an environment that promotes their further development, or are incubated by one or both parents. -The dispersal and/or nurture of young after hatching from the egg is what type of angiosperm analog?
