Bio 30 Diversity of life Questions and Verified
Answers
Taxonomy terms
Ans: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Endosymbiosis theory
Ans: Theory that one organism living inside another for mutual benefit.
Endosymbiosis evidence
Ans: 1- The chloroplast and mitochondria in our cells multiply the same
way as ancient bacteria; if you remove the mitochondria, it cannot be
repaired.
2- Chloroplast and mitochondria have their own unique DNA.
3- Chloroplast and mitochondria have 2 membranes, outer and inner.
Monocots vs. Dicots
Ans: Monocots - only have 1 cotyledon in the embryo, leaf veins are parallel,
petals in multiple of 3.
Dicots - 2 cotyledon in the same embryo, leaf veins are vein like, petals in
multiple of 4 or 5.
Plant Phyla Names
Ans: -Byrophtes
-Pteridophyta
-Gymnosperms
-Angiosperms
Byrophtes example
Ans: Mosses and liverworts; nonvascular and non-seed land plants that
grow close to the ground (small).
Pteridophyta example

Ans: Ferns; vascular but do not produce seeds instead reproduction is
carried out by spores.
Gymnosperms example
Ans: Palms and carpet lawns; non-flowering plants with exposed seeds they
are vascular with seeds without the protection of fruit.
Angiosperms example
Ans: Flowers; develop seeds in a protective structure they are vascular with
seeds.
