  1. Domain
  2. Kingdom
    3.Phylum
    4.Class
    5.Order
    6.Family
    7.Genus
    8.Species
22
Q

node

A

branching point

23
Q

clade

A

2 branches next to each other

24
Q

Synapmorphy

A

similar characteristic in 2 or more species inherited from a common ancestor

24
Q

systematics

A

the study of the kind and diversity of organisms and their relationships

25
Q

will a significant change in allele frequency have an effect on genotypic frequency

A

yes because allele frequencies affect the number of genotypes present

26
Q

what effect does natural selection have on genotypic frequency?

A

natural selection favors genotypes that are more likely to survive and reproduce

27
Q

endosymbiont theory

A

mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as prokaryotic cells that got swallowed by a host cell

28
Q

what are the distinguishing characteristics of bacteria?

A

bacteria is unicellular, doesn’t have a nucleus and reproduces through binary fission

29
Q

what are the distinguishing characteristics of protists?

A

some protists can be multicellular, reproduce through mitosis, eukaryotic, aquatic

30
Q

3 shapes of bacteria

A

coccus, bacillus, spirillum

31
Q

How does a Euglena move around? How does it obtain food?

A
  1. flagellum
  2. photosynthesis or they can assimilate organic material heterotrophically
32
Q

How does a Paramecium move around? How does it obtain food?

A
  1. cilia
  2. collects food particles in oral groove and deposits them into vacuoles
33
Q

Why are autotrophic protists, like Diatoms, important?

A

they fix the most carbon dioxide into oxygen

39
Q

Why are mosses and ferns found in moist habitats?

A

sperm must swim to reach the egg

40
Q

Why is a fern considered more advanced than moss?

A

they have vascular tissue with xylem and pholem

41
Q

What kind of habitat would we expect to find spore-bearing plants?

A

moist

42
Q

Is the gametophyte or sporophyte phase dominant in mosses?

A

gameophyte

43
Q

Is the gametophyte or sporophyte phase dominant in ferns?

Do the gametophyte and sporophyte phases live independently or dependently in mosses?

A

dependently

45
