The first land plants, in contrast, probably had a life cycle and morphological structure similar to a bryophyte (moss, liverwort, or hornwort). Activities: 1. Sketch the life cycle of a Chara like algae, with zygotic meiosis, apical growth, and a three dimensional growth architecture (you don't need to draw 3D, just bear in mind that the plant is growing in 3D). 2. Sketch the life cycle of a bryophyte, with sporic meiosis, apical growth, and a 3D growth architecture. 3. Starting with spore dispersal, and identify adaptations in the life cycle of the bryophyte for living in a terrestrial environment (ie, in air, without water surrounding the plant body). What are new stresses associated with living on land, and what morphological or physiological features did the first land plants have to evolve to cope with these stresses?
