Recently discovered genetic evidence shows that multicellular land plants such as corn and wheat, are all of one lineage – they all arose from a single type of algae. Fossil evidence suggests that other types of algae did not have the needed complexity to move into terrestrial ecosystems. Explain at least 3 adaptations that algae would need to be able to survive on land.

Answer:

1) they would need a host or vessel to stay on and feed of of their body

2) they would need some for of reproduction in the host ( mitosis whatever the algae my use )

3) they would need to wisely choose there hosts and of what they feed on so there host doesn’t die quickly

I don’t know if this is what your looking for but these are 3 things that algae would need to live
