Flowering Plants Evolved Very Quickly Into Five Groups

Summary: Scientist report that the two largest group of flowering plants are closer to each other than any other major lineages. These two flowers are the Monocots and the Eudicots. History also showed that diversity of flowering plants took place in a short periods, less than 5 million years ago, resulted in all five major lineages of flowering plants that exist today.

Questions:

How is natural selection or evolution illustrated in this article?
It shows the evolution of the biggest five flowering plants group that originated from the same species.

How does this support Darwin original findings?
It supports the theory Darwin came up with because Darwin thought that it was a mystery how all plants were related and evolved so quickly to produce some of the largest groups of plant.

List three things you learned from this article in your own words.
I learned that plants have been around for at least 130 million years. I learned that their are about 400,000 species of flowering plants. I learned tha five of the largest plant groups originated from one species of plants about 5 million years ago.

What impact would the absence of this organism have on the ecosystem?
Many small animals that eat plants or reproduce by pollination wouldn't survive neither would the ecosystem.
