Q

CO2 levels decreased because?

A

Weathering of rocks; co2 and h2o formed carbonic acid, the acid reacted with rocks that had calcium carbonate (caCo3) releasing ions (hco3-) and ca+ and moved through rivers and reverted to precipitate caco3 , decreasing co2 and lower earth temp

Q

What is the first explanation to do plants contribute to glaciations

A

1) colonization of plants (~490 MYA)
•release organic acid which increased weathering , releasing phosphorus, that enters oceans increasing algal photosynthesis, co2 removed from atmosphere to form algal tissue the reduced levels of co2 result in temp decrease and glaciation

Q

What is the second explanation to do plants contribute to glaciations

A

2) Vascular plant diversification concurrent with 2nd glaciation
• extensive root system increased rock weathering and released nutrients that triggers algal growth in ocean

24
Aging Fossil are measure by absolute age
Age if fossil is estimate by rates of radioactive decay chemical element isotopes mainly krypton an argon
25
Isotopes half life is
The rate of decay, the amount of time needed for one half of the orginal amount to be transformed
26
Rodinia
All continents
27
Gondwana
All current south hemisphere continents
28
Pangea
Formed from Gondwana
29
Three monophyletic domains or classes are
Eubacteria, archea, eukaryote
30
Eukaryotes domain has 6 supergroups called
``` Chromalveolates Rhizaria Archaeplastida Excavates Amoebozoa Opisthokonta ```
31
Bacteria and archae are distinct from eukaryotes because
They lack compartmentalization
32
What has and extensive endomembrane system?
Eukaryotes
33
Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum facilitates ?
Intercellular transport
34
Mitochondria and Chloropasts entered early eukaryotic cells by endosymbiosis
Mitochondria descendants of purple sulfur and chloroplasts derived from Cyanobacteria bacteria
35
In endosymbiosis, algae acquired chloroplast twice
1) red and green algae common ancestor an eukaryotic cell engulf cyanobacteria 2) brown algae engulf red algae
36
Multicellurity allowed organisms to deal with
Differentiation
37
Meiosis is associated with
Crossing over
38
Rapid diversity occurred in
Cambrian
39
Evolutionary innovations occurred when life was primarily
Aquatic
40
Eukaryotes characteristics
Compartmentalization:additional levels of transcription and translations Multicellular: differential of cells into tissues Sexual reproduction: greater genetic diversity
41
Taxonomy
Science of classifying living things
42
The genus name is
Capitalized and in italics
43
Hierarchical taxonomy
``` Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species ```
44
Evolutionary relationships among organisms accomplishs:
An orderly logical way to name organisms | Insight to understand history and major features and functions
45
Systematics
Reconstruction an study of evolutionary relationships
46
Phylogeny
Hypothesis about patterns of relationship among species
47
All organisms share many characteristics .. 4 are?
Have one or more cells Carry out metabolism Transfer energy with ATP Encode hereditary info in DNA
48
Derived characteristic
Similarity that is inherited from the most recent common ancestor of an entire group
49
Ancestral characteristics
Similarity that arose prior to the common answer or of the group
50
Synapomorphies
Shared derived characters are considered informative about evolutionary relationships
51
Clades
Species that agar a common ancestor and indicated by the possession of shared derived characters
52
Homoplasy
A shared character state that has not been inherited from a common ancestor
53
Convergent evolution
Whales and penguins have flipper for limbs but no common ancestor
54
Evolutionary reversal
Snakes and lampreys do not haves limbs no common ancestor
55
Principle of parsimony
Which favors the hypothesis the requires fewest assumption to answer the question
56
Monophyletic
Includes the most recent ancestor of all the group and all decedents (Clade)
57
Paraphyletic
Includes most recent common ancestor of group but not all decedents
58
Polyphyletic
Does not include most recent common ancestor of all members of the group
59
Biological species concept
Defines species as groups of interbreeding populations that are reproductively isolated
60
Phylogenetic species concept
Species in a population or set of populations characterized by one or more shared derived characters
61
Phylogenetic species concept solves two biological species concepts problems
1) biological species concept cannot be applied to allopatric species (= not overlapping species) 2) psc looks to the past to see if species separated long enough to develop their own derived characters
62
Homologous
Derive from same ancestral source; dolphin flippers and frog legs are modifications limb
63
Homoplastic structures
Do no derive from ancestral sources; wings of birds (modification of limb) and dragonfly wings (modification of gill like appendages)
64
Difference between HIV 1-2
Hiv1 Spreads quickly and hiv2 less transmitted , longer period before initial infection and illness, weaken the immune system at much lower rate
