What is the term for the process of evolution at the level of the population, which involves changes in allele frequencies?

microevolution

taxa that no longer exist

Bryophytes

aka moss, non-vascular plants (no xylem and phloem)

Tracheophytes

vascular plants (have xylem and phloem)

Spermatophytes

seed plants (seeds and pollen)

Gymnosperms

naked seed (conifers)

Angiosperms

“vessel” seed (fruit and flowers)
