Plant Diversity Prelab (cont.) PART 2 Read the description of each character trait 1-14 on pages 2-6. Use the descriptions to help you determine whether that characteristic contributes to a plants ability to survive on dry land as opposed to water. Most traits do this, but not all. If you think that the characteristic helps plants live on dry land as opposed to in water, briefly explain why. If you think it increases fitness for something else, write "does not contribute to the ability to live on land." Be prepared to justify your answers in lab! Character traits Cuticle Pores and pores with guard cells Vascular tissue (lignin) Leaf Type Maximum erect height Pollen (Reduced male gametophyte) Largest life stage 2
