Among bryophytes, only the sporophytes of mosses and hornworts have stomata, whereas stomata are missing from liverwort sporophytes. If the common ancestor of all bryophytes had sporophytes that bore stomata, then which of these might account for their absence from liverwort sporophytes? If, in contrast to early mosses and hornworts, early liverwort sporophytes had
A) more-effective transport of glucose from gametophyte to sporophyte. B) increased robustness (i.e., thicker, more massive tissues). C) increased nutritional independence from the gametophyte. D) decreased need to broadcast spores long distances.

For many years, biologists felt that the highest level of classification of living organisms was the five kingdoms. Recently, some biologists have proposed that the hierarchical classification of organisms start with three domains, the Bacteria, the Archaea, and the Eucarya. Explain the reasoning behind this proposal and why the Bacteria and the Archaea should be in separate domains even though
their members are all prokaryotes. What will be an ideal response?
