Question

Basal members of this group of organisms are called the ANITA (“anita”) grade, which includes Amborella and Nymphaeales (“nim-FAY-uh-leez”). One structure in these organisms includes a second integument and usually has an anatropous orientation. The appearance of these organisms in the Early Cretaceous was called an “abominable mystery” by Darwin. In these organisms, the triploid endosperm and a diploid zygote (-5[1])form during double fertilization (-5[1])within the ovule. Members of this group are subdivided based on their number of seed leaves into monocots (-5[1])and dicots. For 10 points, name this clade of plants that disperse their seeds (-5[1])using (10[1]-5[1])fruit, (-5[1])unlike gymnosperms. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])
