Evolution among Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia: JAMB Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the JAMB syllabus covers in Evolution among Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia
Our summary: The five kingdoms with examples, and how structure grows more complex from simple organisms to mammals.
- Monera (prokaryotes) (e.g. bacteria and blue green algae.)
- Protista (protozoans and protophyta) (e.g. Amoeba, Euglena and Paramecium.)
- Fungi (e.g. mushroom and Rhizopus.)
- Plantae (plants) ((i) Thallophyta (e.g. Spirogyra); (ii) Bryophyta (mosses and liverworts) e.g. Brachmenium and Merchantia; (iii) Pteridophyta (ferns) e.g. Dryopteris; (iv) Spermatophyta (Gymnospermae and Angiospermae): Gymnosperms e.g. Cycads and conifers; Angiosperms (monocots, e.g. maize; dicots, e.g. water leaf); (v) Plants classified on the span of their life cycles.)
- Animalia (animals) ((i) Invertebrates: Coelenterate e.g. Hydra; Platyhelminthes (flatworms) e.g. Taenia; Nematoda (roundworms); Annelida e.g. earthworm; Arthropoda e.g. mosquito, cockroach, housefly, bee, butterfly; Mollusca e.g. snails. (ii) Multicellular animals (vertebrates): Pisces (cartilaginous and bony fish); Amphibia e.g. toads and frogs; Reptilia e.g. lizards, snakes and turtles; Aves (birds); Mammalia (mammals).)
Objectives

- apply the knowledge from (i) above to demonstrate increase in structural complexity.
- trace the stages in the life histories of the listed organisms.
- apply the knowledge of the life histories to demonstrate gradual transition from life in water to life on land.
- trace the evolution of the listed plants.
- trace the advancement of the invertebrate animals.
- determine the economic importance of the insects studied.
- assess their values to the environment.
- classify plants into annuals, biennials and perennials.
- trace the advancement of multi-cellular animals.
- determine their economic importance.
