Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Biology - 2012 (Objective) Subject: Biology

Question 1 Report

Which of the following sequences is the correct evolutionary trend in plants?
Answer Details
The correct evolutionary trend in plants is Algae → liverworts → mosses → ferns. This is because algae, liverworts, mosses, and ferns represent the different stages in the evolution of plants. Algae are simple aquatic plants that lack specialized tissues for conducting water and nutrients. Liverworts and mosses evolved from algae and have specialized structures to absorb water and nutrients from their environment. Ferns evolved from mosses and have vascular tissue for conducting water and nutrients throughout the plant. Therefore, the correct sequence of the evolutionary trend is Algae → liverworts → mosses → ferns.
