Chapter 16 The Fossil Record of Flowering Plants Objectives of Chapter 16 for Students: By studying these objectives and knowing this core information, most students should be able to pass all of the tests. 1. The student should know how many plant species are alive today. (Page 186) 2. The student should know how many flowering plant species are alive today. (Page 186) 3. The student should be able to write out a list of ten examples of flowering plants. (Pages 186, 188-189) 4. The student should know the scientific term for flowering plants. (Page 186) 5. The student should know what Charles Darwin was referring to when he spoke of the “abominable mystery” of flowering plants. (Page 186) 6. The student should know the reason Charles Darwin gave for the lack of evidence for plant evolution in the late 1880’s. (Page 186) 7. The student should know what plant evolution experts were saying in the mid 20th century about plant evolution (70 years after Darwin referred to the lack of evidence for the evolution of flowering plants). (Page 186) 8. The student should know how many fossil plants have been collected so far. (Page 186) 9. The student should know how good the current evidence for flowering plant evolution is, according to The Encyclopedia of Evolution. Which of the two models does the fossil record of flowering plants match: the theory of evolution (Page 75 of Chapter 6) or the no-evolution model (Page 76 of Chapter 6)? (Page 186) 10. The student should be able to list ten types of plant structures that have been found as fossils, starting with the smallest structure found, such as fossil pollen, and ending with the largest structure found, such as a fossilized whole tree. (Page 186). 11. The student should be able to give the reason why, according to scientists who support evolution, the intermediate plants demonstrating flowering plant evolution have (Continued on next page) 273 Chapter 16 The Fossil Record of Flowering Plants Objectives of Chapter 16 for Students (continued): not been found. (Page 186) 12. The student should be able to give the reason why, according to scientists who oppose evolution, the intermediate plants demonstrating flowering plant evolution have not been found.
