Question 10 • TPS EdX Biology

Which evolutionary adaptations helped plants succeed and spread on land?

Answer
A
cotyledons and nonvascular tissue
B
spores and pine cones
C
small size and small seeds
D
vascular tissue and seeds

Explanation

Vascular tissue transports water and nutrients through a plant, allowing plants to grow larger and live farther from water. Seeds protect and nourish the developing embryo and can spread to new places. Together, these adaptations helped plants become more successful on land, so the correct choice is vascular tissue and seeds.
