What are the three classes of bryophytes?

Biology
1 answer:
Margaret [11]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Class I: Hepaticopsida ( Liverworts)

Class II: Anthocerotopsida ( Hornworts)

Class III: Bryopsida ( Mosses)

Explanation:

Bryophytes are small plants that grows in moist and shady places.They don't attain great heights because of absence of roots, vascular tissues, mechanical tissues and cuticle. They are terrestrial but require external water to complete their life cycle. Hence they are called as the" amphibians" of the animal kingdom.

Class I: Hepaticopsida or Hepaticae

  • Gametophytic plant body is either thalloid or foliose. If foliose the lateral appendages are  without midrib.
  • Rhizoids without septa
  • Each cell in the thallus contain many chloroplasts
  • Sex organs are embedded in the dorsal surface
  • Capsule lacks columella
  • Sporophyte may be simple having only one capsule or differentiated into root, seta and capsule
  • It has 4 orders: Calobryales, Jungermanniales, Spherocarpales and Marchantiales

Class 2: Anthocerotae or Anthocerotopsids:

  • Gametophytic plant body is simple, thalloid;thallus dorsiventra without air chambers shows no internal differentiation of tissues
  • Scales are absent in the thallus
  • Each cell of the thallus possess a single large chloroplast with a pyrenoid
  • Sporophyte is cylindrical only partly dependent on gametophyte for its nourishment. It is differentiated into bulbous foot and cyclindrical capsule. Seta is meristematic.
  • Endotheciumforms the sterile central column in the capsule. It have ony one order Anthocerotales

Class 3: Musci or Bryopsida

  • Gametophyte is differentiated into prostrate protonema and an erect gametophores
  • Gametophore ids foliose, differentiated into axis and lateral appendages like leaves but without midrib.
  • Rhizoids are multicellular with oblique septa
  • Elaters are absent in the capsule of sporangium
  • The sex organs are produced in seperate branches immersed in a group of leaves.
  • It has only three orders: Bryales, Andriales and Sphagnales

Bryophytes are used as a packaging material for fragile goods, glasswares etc.Mosses are good source of animal food in rocky and snow clad areas. Decoction prepared by boiling Sphagnum in water  is used for the treatment of eye disease.

Plants where light-independent reactions take place in bundle sheath cells (different cells than where light-dependent reactions
muminat

Answer:

C4 type of photosynthesis

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases: the light-dependent phase and light-independent phase ( Calvin cycle).

The RUBISCO enzyme which catalyses the reaction of Calvin cycle has the binding affinity for both carbon dioxide and oxygen. When the enzyme binds to the oxygen results in the loss of ATP through a process called photorespiration.

To reduce the effect of photorespiration, some plants have made morphological adaptations in the chloroplast by separating the site of light-dependent phase and light-independent phase.

The light-dependent phase takes place in the mesophyll cells while the Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle sheath cell surrounding the leaf veins. These plants are known as C4 plants.

Thus, the C4 type of photosynthesis is the correct answer.

The four main forces that drive evolution are mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. All of these forces can
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Allele frequencies

Explanation:

The only component that is transmitted from generation to generation is the genetic material (genes), the fact that an individual leaves more descendants implies that their genetic variants (alleles) will be more represented in the next generation. The frequencies of the different alleles will change from one generation to another, and this change will be irreversible when the set of genes in the population is considered, since it is highly unlikely that a previous configuration will be returned in all gene variants. Hence, from a population point of view, evolution is ultimately a cumulative and irreversible change in the proportions of different gene variants in populations. The agents that change the allele (or gene) frequencies of populations, that is, factors of evolution, are mutation, genetic drift, migration, and natural selection. Mutation is a factor that increases genetic diversity. Natural selection is the process by which the gene frequencies involved with certain traits vary from generation to generation, since some variants of the trait have a greater capacity than others to survive and produce offspring. The mutation rate of a gene or DNA sequence is the frequency at which new mutations occur in that gene or sequence in each generation. In each generation there is a gene raffle during the transmission of gametes from parents to children which is known as genetic drift. In the absence of gene flow, gene drift will also lead to local differences in allele frequencies.
