Joanna Q.
What is the major evolutionary trend in land plant life cycles? a. Instead of heing approximately the same size and shape, gametophytes and sporophytes began to look different. b. Sporophytes became larger and long lived while gametophytes became drastically reduced. c. In lineages that evolved more recently, such as angiosperms, spores are no longer produced. d. Sporophytes began to rely on gametophytes for all of their nutritional needs.
How may the following trends in plant evolution be adaptive to living on land? a. dependence on water for fertilization $\rightarrow$ no need for water as a transport medium b. homospory $\rightarrow$ heterospory
