Which of the following characteristics helped seedless plants better adapt to life on land? Group of answer choices a well-developed vascular system an unbranched sporophyte a chitinous cuticle a dominant gametophyte the presence of photosystem II

Respuesta :

Answer:

a well developed vascular system

Explanation:

Seedless vascular plants which includes ferns, and horsetails possess two major adaptations that have help them become better adapted to land compared to non-vascular plants. these are possession of true roots and a well developed vascular tissue system. These vascular system functions in the co-ordination of conducting tissues and associated supportive fibres including the Xylem tissue transports water and dissolved minerals to the leaves while the phloem tissue conducts food from the leaves to all other parts of the plant and all other supportive tisues in plants that are important for adaptation to life on land.

Answer:

well-developed vascular system

Explanation:

Seedless plants are better adapted to life on land due to their well-developed vascular system.

The vascular system consists of the xylem and the phloem.

The xylem helps with the conduction of water/minerals from the soil to the plant's body for various metabolic processes while the phloem helps with the distribution of food from the source of production to other parts of the plant.

Chitinous cuticles are only found in a group of animals known as arthropods. Even though seedless land plants may posses cuticle, they are not chitinous.
