Question

Which statement is not evidence for evolution of land plants from green algae? Both plants and green algae have cellulose in their cell walls. Both plants and green algae produce starch as their principal storage carbohydrate. Some green algae have multicellular sporophytes and multicellular gametophytes. Two groups have the same photosynthetic pigments All green algae produce large, stationary eggs.

Answer 1

Answer:

All green algae produce large, stationary eggs

Explanation:

The research on the evolution of land plants has shown that the plants have evolved from the green algae especially the "Charophytes" which grows in on the rocks attached to the rocks on the seashore.

The evidence that plants evolved from the green algae was supported by the:

1. The storage material of both the plants and algae is the same that is starch

2. both the algae and plants have the sporophytic and gametophytic life cycle

3. Both the plants and algae possess the same type of the photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll a,b,c,d and others.

4. Both have a cell wall made of cellulose

But the green algae produce the stationary eggs does not support the hypothesis as the plants not necessary produce the stationary eggs.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
