1. Which of the following was the last to appear in the fossil record?
A. angiosperms (flowering plants)
B. all major groups of plants we see today
C.mosses and other bryophytes
D.ferns and other seedless vascular plants
E. pines and other gymnosperms
2. The first land plants were bryophytes, and later ferns, then gymnosperms, then angiosperms evolved. What advantage did angiosperms have over gymnosperms?
A. Angiosperms can produce flowers and fruits to aid in seed dispersal.
B. Angiosperms produce pollen and do not require water to reproduce.
C.The angiosperms can produce spores which are more stable than seeds from gymnosperms.
D.Angiosperms go through alternation of generations.
E.Angiosperms have a vascular system, which allowed them to grow taller.
3. Arabidopsis thaliana is a small angiosperm related to mustard. The fact that it has 139 genes that correspond to disease-causing genes in humans suggests which of the following?
A. Human and Arabidopsis thaliana cells have the same organelles.
B. Humans and Arabidopsis thaliana share a common ancestor.
C.Arabidopsis thaliana and humans can swap genes through transduction.
D.Arabidopsis thaliana evolved from humans.
E. Arabidopsis thaliana can cause diseases in humans.
