domains and phylogeny Flashcards
what is artificial classification
observable feats
what is convergent evolution
similar features but different evolutionary routes
similar due to same environment
what is natural classification
based on homolgy
used to use anatomical and morpholgy
now use molecular evidence
-dna sequence
see evolutionary relationships (phylogeny)
what are the 3 domains
eukarya
bacteria
archaea
what is phylogenetic tree
shows degree of difference between 2 species
-time since shared common ancestor
branch point = where genetic difference occured
longer branch = more changes
bacteria v archaea + eukaryotae
different membrane
different flagella structure
different RNA polymerase
no proteins v proteins to gen material
different dna replication mech
