A plant found growing in a marsh is about 18 inches in height and consists of tall, hollow stems with jointed nodes. The plant h
as a rough texture and its leaves grow in tiny whorls. Which of the following is the most logical conclusion about the classification of this plant? a. It is a gymnosperm, and belongs to the phylum Coniferophyta.
b. It is a horsetail, and belongs to the phylum Sphenophyta.
c. It is a club moss, and belongs to the phylum Lycoophyta.
d. It is a liverwort, and belongs to the phylum Hepatophyta.
b. It is a horsetail, and belongs to the phylum Sphenophyta.

This character trait is known as homoplasy. the definition of homoplasy that two or more species share a character, but they did not descend from a common ancestor.
This trait is known as convergent evolution, or convergence.
I think it means that even though the homes/cells may appear di²erent, theyall include the same basic essentials. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
When a scientific experiment is carried out in a controlled setting, all variables are kept the same except for the C. experimental. Experimental variables are the things you are studying in the experiment and it is the only variable you can change.
