The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. mosses.

b. charophytes.

c. ferns.

d. gymnosperms.

e. flowering plants.

Answer:

C. ferns.

Explanation:

In the given question, the characteristics of a newly identified species were provided which are:

1.  Flagellated sperm: shows that it is either a bryophyte or pteridophyte

2. Dominant sporophyte: chances that it is a pteridophyte

3.The xylem and tracheids: shows that vascular bundle is present which confirms that it is pteridophyte

4. No seeds: confirms that the plant is pteridophyte as vascular bundles with no seed are pteridophyte.

Therefore in the given question, the identified plant is a pteridophyte which in the given option is a fern.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.

Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.

In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.

It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
