discuss the evolutionary relationships between the two members of each pair you have chosen. In your discussion include structural adaptations and their functional significance. a. Green Algae...Vascular Plants b. Prokaryotes....Eukaryotes a. Green Algae and Vascular Plants have clear evolutionary relationships. Both Green algae and vascular plants have many similarities displaying this fact. Just a few of these similarities include that both groups have chloroplasts with chlorophyll b and beta-carotene (for getting food), chloroplasts …showed first 75 words of 434 total…

…showed last 75 words of 434 total…chromosomes, cellular organelles, multicellularity, Flagella (Allowing reproduction in some cases and movement), and in some cases sperm and egg reproduction. All of these traits are clearly more complicated than that of the Prokaryotes, while many of them seem to have developed further. Though certainly complexity doesn't always indicate who is most fit, the case is often this, as demonstrated by both of the above comparisons. This clearly displays the evolutionary relationships between these two organisms.
