Answer:

C. The ancestor lacked both seeds and flowers, because these traits evolved later in the evolutionary lineages of cone-bearing plants and

flowering plants

Explanation:

<u>The most accurate description of the common ancestor of cone-bearing and flowering plants would be that the ancestors lack both seeds and flowers because these traits evolved later in the evolutionary lineages of cone-bearing and flowering plants.</u>

According to the cladogram, the common ancestors to both cone-bearing and flowering plants is mosses and ferns. Embryo evolved in mosses but there are no vascular tissues, seeds, and flowers. Advancement occur in ferns with the development of vascular tissues in addition to embryo but still, there is no seeds neither flowers.

The evolution of seeds only started in cone-bearing plants in addition to embryo and vascular tissues while the development of flowers in addition to the rest of the features is only found in flowering plants.

Hence, the correct option is C.

What is global wind and how do winds help humans travel?
jeka57 [31]

Global winds are winds that appear in belts that go all around the world. Like local winds, global winds are driven by unequal heating of the atmosphere. Since global winds blow west to east, it helps humans travel west to east.

<h3>How global winds influence climate?</h3>

Global wind belts and calm regions have an effect on, is that the berg winds blow from the east and die out as they are available close to the equator.

The westerlies blow from the west and move storms across u. s. The easterlies blow from the east and they cause stormy weather to occur once cold air forms this belt meets heat air of the westerlies.

Thus, this could be the answer.
