    The document discusses key differences between bryophytes and pteridophytes, evolutionary trends in plants adapting to life on land, types of meiosis and life cycles exhibited by plants, differences between gametophytes and sporophytes in bryophytes and pteridophytes, heterosporous and homosporous reproduction, and differences between microspores and megaspores. It also covers ecology topics like biomes, ecotones, populations vs ecosystems, weather vs climate, macro vs microenvironments, and what is contained in the biosphere.

    1. List the MAIN differences between the phyla Bryophytes and Pteridophytes.

    2. Evolutionary trend
    Identify evolutionary trends when moving from aquatic plants to terrestrial plants, from more
    primitive to more advance plants:
     Changes in type meiosis
     Change in adaptative features.

    3. Identify the stages the type of meiosis presented below and give two examples of plants
    that undergo this type of meiosis.

    a. Identify the stages of meiosis.


    b. Identify what is happening at a particular stage of [e.g.: fertilization]
    c. Identify the type of meiosis [Zygotic, Gametic or Sporic meiosis]

    d. Give examples of the plant organisms that can undergo this type of meiosis.

    4. What type of life cycle does this organism exhibit?


    Possible Options
    a. Haplontic Life Cycle – Zygotic Meiosis
    b. Diplontic Life Cycle – Gametic Meiosis
    c. Haplo-Diplontic Life Cycle/Alteration of Generation – Sporic Meiosis

    *Thought: If you were asked to provide evidence of the life cycle, then simply state what is the
    dominant life form. Is it diploid or haploid for most of it’s life or is it an almost equal amount of
    both haploid and diploid.

    5. Pteridophytes are a part of the group called tracheophyte because they are vascular plants
    (contains phloem and xylem). However, bryophyte is non-vascular but require nutrition
    and water in order to function.
    Identify the types of cells used to conduct both water and food material. State similarities (and
    differences) between them and their advanced counterparts (phloem and xylem).

    6. Compare the gametophyte and sporophyte in Pteridophytes and Bryophytes.


    7. What does it mean to be heterosporous, homosporous?

    8. Give an example of plants that are heterosporous and homosporous.

    9. List the MAIN differences between microspores and megaspores.

    Ecology
    1. What is a biome?

    2. What is an Ecotone and give three examples of an ecotone?

    a. List three functions of an ecotone


    b. What type of organism are expected to be present in the ecotone?

    3. Differentiate between a population and an ecosystem.

    4. Differentiate between weather and climate.

    5. Differentiate between a Macro and Microenvironment.

    6. What is a biosphere and what is contained in it?
