1) What is the event that marks the transition from haploid to the diploid stage of the life cycle and what event marks the transition back to the haploid stage again. Describe the timing of these two cellular even in life cycles that are dominated by haploid cells, dominated by diploid cells or that have alternation of generations.

2) What are the closest relatives of land plants? How do you know this? What do these relatives tell us about the ancestors of green plants -- where did they live? How big were they?

3) Why was it the green algae that gave rise to land plants -- why don’t we have relatives of red or brown algae living on land?
