Shared ancestral traits with all descendants of a common ancestor.

Synapomorphy

300

Character shared by a set of species but not present in their common ancestor (convergent evolution)

Homoplasy

400

Character trait shared by two or more taxa.

Symplesiomorphy

500

A group that share a common ancestor but does not include all decendant groups

Paraphyletic group

2 gametes go through this process to form into a zygote

Fertilization

200

chromosome pairs (one from each parent) that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location.

Homologous chromosomes

300

In the life cycle, meiosis results in the formation of...

gametes

400

Phase of Meiosis when sister chromatids separate

Anaphase II

500

The three sources of genetic variability in a sexually reproducing organism.

crossing over,  independent assortment, random  fertilization

Chlorophyll b

Bryophytes

100

True or False.. mosses are plants

True! they belong to Kingdom Plantae

200

One of the bryophytes has 1 chloroplast per cell, name that characteristic term AND the phylum

monoplastidic 

Anthocerophyta

300

This SPECIFIC moss (can give common name) has gemmae cups

400

Bryophytes are dominated by which phase of the lifecycle?

Gametophyte

500

If you were trying to distinguish between a Leafy Liverwort and a moss, give 1 gametophyte & 1 sporophyte feature that would confirm it is indeed  Bryophyta

Costa on the leaf!

capsule is long & pointy and not just a round sphere
