Q

Species concepts

A

BIOLOGICAL
defines a species as members of populations that actually or potentially interbreed in nature, not according to similarity of appearance.
PHYLOGENETIC:
The concept of a species as an irreducible group whose members are descended from a common ancestor and who all possess a combination of certain defining, or derived, traits
MORPHOLOGICAL
Organisms are classified in the same species if they appear identical by morphological (anatomical) criteria.

Q

explain phylogenetic tree

A

PHYLOGENETIC TREE:
• A diagram depicting the evolutionary relationships between different species or groups (previously called cladogram)
• Phylogenetic trees focus on categories based on common ancestors (evolutions)
CLADES:
• A taxonomic group that includes a single common ancestor and all its descendants. Each clade on phylogenetic tree can be thought of as a branch on the tree of life

Q

effect of climate change on ecosystems

A
    • For instance, warming could force species to migrate to higher latitudes or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival.
  • -as sea level rises, saltwater intrusion into a freshwater system may force some key species to relocate or die, thus removing predators or prey that were critical in the existing food chain.

Q

independent assortment & law of segregation

A

INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT:
—principle that genes are inherited independently of one another
LAW OF SEGREGATION:
—each pair of alleles segregates independently of the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation.
—In diploid organisms, chromosome pairs (and their alleles) are separated into individual gametes (eggs or sperm) to transmit genetic information to offspring.

Q

mono-hybrid cross

A
  • -a hybrid that is heterozygous (one is dominant and one is recessive) with respect to a specified gene.
  • -always yields a 3:1 ratio (dominant: recessive)
  • -TT x tt

Q

viruses

A

LYTIC
• Viral DNA hi jacks the ribosomes of host
• Ribosomes used to make and assemble duplicates or original virus (mass produced)
• Once they reach certain amount, viral cell lyse (explode) the host cell and spread out to infect other cells
○ This can be entered from lysogenic cycle
○ If this continues, the virus will kill host organism
LYSOGENIC
• Viral DNA integrates into host DNA and remains silent
• Whenever host DNA replicates, viral DNA replicates
• Allows the virus to replicate and pass to other organism without detection or immediately harming host

Q

Darwin’s main points

A

A species is a population of organisms that interbreeds and has fertile offspring.
Living organisms have descended with modifications from species that lived before them.
Natural selection explains how this evolution has happened:
More organisms are produced than can survive because of limited resources.
Organisms struggle for the necessities of life; there is competition for resource.
Individuals within a population vary in their traits; some of these traits are heritable – passed on to offspring.
Some variants are better adapted to survive and reproduce under local conditions than others.
Better-adapted individuals (the “fit enough”) are more likely to survive and reproduce, thereby passing on copies of their genes to the next generation.
Species whose individuals are best adapted survive; others become extinct.

17
Q

importance/impact of genetic diversity

A
  • -when a population of an organism contains a large gene pool the group has a greater chance of surviving and flourishing than a population with limited genetic variability.
  • -genetic diversity strengthens a population by increasing the likelihood that at least some individuals will be able to survive major disturbances, and by making the group less susceptible to inherited disorders.
18
Q

Genetic Drift

A

variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.

19
Q

Gene Flow

A

the natural transfer of genes from one population into the genetic makeup of another population through hybridization and interbreeding

20
Q

A

21
Q

Artificial selection

A

PRO
-It will allow needed traits to be produced quickly and effectively.
-It creates the potential for added profitability.
-can enhance the quality of what is being created.
CON:
—less diversity
—decreased quality of life

22
Q

Speciation Mechanism

A

ALLOPATRIC:
of animals or plants, especially of related species or populations) occurring in separate non-overlapping geographical areas
SYMPATRIC:
(of animals or plants, especially of related species or populations) occurring within the same geographical area; overlapping in distribution.
SEXUAL SELECTION:
natural selection arising through preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex.

23
Q

Reproductive Barriers

A

PRE-ZYGOTIC
-prevent mating or fertilization between different species
-temporal isolation (species reproduce at different times)
-habitat isolation (species remain isolated because they breed in different habitats.)
-behavioral isolation (differences in mating rituals)
-mechanic isolation (physically unable to reproduce)
POST-ZYGOTIC
-reproductive barrier that operates should interspecies mating occur and form hybrid zygotes
-hybrid inviability ( offspring (called a hybrid) does not survive)
-hybrid sterility (hybrid is infertile)
-hybrid breakdown (he first-generation hybrids are viable and fertile, but when they mate the offspring are feeble and sterile)

24
Q

Allele, diploid/haploid

A

ALLELE: one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
DIPLOID:
of a cell or nucleus) containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent
HAPLOID:
pertaining to a single set of chromosomes.

25
Q

circulatory system

A

HEART STRUCTURE
VEINS
ARTERIES

26
Q

heart rate

A

VO2 max
– the maximum rate of oxygen consumption as measured during incremental exercise,
Erythropoetin
–a hormone secreted by the kidneys that increases the rate of production of red blood cells in response to falling levels of oxygen in the tissues.

27
Q

pick a human body system and explain its importance

A

circulatory system

28
Q

Respiratory System BASIC

A

-respiratory system focuses on the air you breathe in and out
-The upper respiratory tract includes the structures that bring air into the body and down to the lower respiratory tract:
–Laryngopharynx, mouth, nose
The lower respiratory tract includes the lungs and the tubes that bring air to them:
–tracheae, bronchi, lungs, aveoli

29
Q

Digestive System BASIC

A

epiglottis, trachea, esophagus, liver, stomach, gall bladder, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, duodenum, rectum anus

30
Q

structure of plant

A

LEAVES

  • -site of photosynthesis, gas exchange, storage, protection from predators
  • -External: veins of leaves contain vascular tissue (xylem/phloem)
  • -Internal: Cuticle,Upper epidermis, Palisade Mesophyll, Spongy Mesophyll, Lower Epidermis,Vascular Bundle, Xylem, Phloem, Stoma, Guard Cells
31
Q

tissue types

A

VASCULAR
GROUND
DERMAL

32
Q

photosynthesis

A

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms’ activities.
carbon dioxide + water =light energy=> glucose + oxygen

6CO2 + 6H2O =light energy=> C6H12O6 + 6O2

33
Q

relationship between plants and animals

A

symbiotic: dependent on one another
