and Plants: 1. Create a phylogenetic tree and cladogram demonstrating the evolution of plants and/or fungi. Your grouping must make sense and be neat. 2. Create a concept map that depicts the zombie strategy to combat these plants and fungi. Breeding: 1. Look up and define selective/artificial selection. How did this have an effect on the formation of Darwin’s idea of Natural Selection? 2. What is convergent evolution? Is there evidence of this in your plants or fungi? 3. What is coevolution
