Q

What are the alternation of generations of plants?

A
  1. The sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis 2. Spores germinate and divide by mitosis and develop into multicellular, haploid gametophytes 3. Gametophytes produce unicellular haploid gametes by mitosis 4. Two gametes unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote 5. The zygote divides by mitosis and develops into a multicellular, diploid sporophyte

Q

What happened in the Archean?

A

• Origin of life (ca 3800 Ma) • Early organisms had methane, SO4 (sulfate) and H2 S (hydrogen sulfide) based metabolism, producing CO2 and alcohol as by-products. • Photosynthetic organisms appear (ca 3500 Ma) • Respired O2 accumulates and strengthens the ozone layer, trapping free oxygen below. The atmosphere is converted to an oxygen environment (3500- 2800 M

Q

Consumption (predator-prey)

A

+/-

Occurs when one organism eats or absorbs nutrients from another, increasing the consumers fitness but decreasing the victims fitness.

30
Q

What did early life look like?

A

made of species of bacteria and archaea

31
Q

Why are HOX genes important?

A

They help layout the basic body forms of many animals including flies, worms and humans.

32
Q

How can we test for co-evolution?

A

By testing differences in fitness

To be co-evolution, the predator-prey relationship
must be the primary selective force, and there must
be reciprocity in the response

33
Q

Why do we see co-evolution occur?

A

Each participant in the coevolutionary
relationship
undergoes natural selection, with
the highest fitness associated
with genotypes that address
the partnership

34
Q

Two types of mimicry

A

Batesian, Mullerian

35
Q

Panspermia

A

life on earth originated from biotic or abiotic precursors that arrived from extraterrestrial sources.

36
Q

What happened in the Hadean?

A

• Differentiation of Earth into crust, mantle and core • Origin of the atmosphere via volcanic outgassing (little free O2 ) • Condensation of water vapor to form freshwater lakes, streams, etc. (likely acidic due to volcanic activity) • Origin of continental crust (oldest dated rocks on earth are 3.96 billion years

37
Q

porifera

A

sponges, have hollow body;

38
Q

Zygomycetes

A

Primarily soil-dwellers, asexual reproduction, saprophytic and parasitic members responsible for rotting fruits and vegetables.

39
Q

annelida

A

closed circulatory system; coelumate; divided into segments; bilateral; gills; ganglia

40
Q

Competition

A

-/-

Occurs when individuals use the same resources resulting in lower fitness for both

41
Q

Mutualism

A

+/+

Occurs when two species interact in a way that confers fitness benefits to both.

42
Q

What are the 5 phyla of fungi?

A

Chytrids, Zygomycetes, glomeromycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes

43
Q

What are the 9 most diverse animal phyla?

48
Q

What are the key features of prokaryotes

A

no nucleus, single-celled organism

49
Q

Plant phylogeny

A
50
Q

Glomeromycetes

A

51
Q

Batesian

A

Sheep in wolf’s clothing, the mimic isnt poisonous or dangerous

52
Q

What kinds of responses do HOX genes generate in organisms?

A

They tell the cells of a fly when and where to start building wings. Even though eyes form differently they are all initiated by similar genes.

53
Q

What is co-evolution?

A

Selection and evolution across species boundaries.

Selection driven by interaction between species.

NOT within or b/t populations of the same species!

54
Q

What are the four key distinctions that divide animals?

A
  1. Does the animal have specialized cells that
    form defined tissues?
  2. Does the animal develop with radial
    symmetry or bilateral symmetry?
  3. During development, does the animal’s gut
    develop from front to back or back to front?
  4. Does growth occur by molting or by adding
    continuously to the skeletal elements?
55
Q

Basidiomycota

A

Mushrooms are cultivated or collected, capable of synthesizing lignin peroxidase and important for wood decomposition, some form mycorrhizae that imporve health of forest, can also be parasitic

56
Q

What are the key characteristics of protists?

A

Protist cells may contain a single nucleus or many nuclei; they range in size from microscopic to thousands of meters in area. Protists may have animal-like cell membranes, plant-like cell walls, or may be covered by a pellicle. Some protists are heterotrophs and ingest food by phagocytosis, while other types of protists are photoautotrophs and store energy via photosynthesis. Most protists are motile and generate movement with cilia, flagella, or pseudopodia.

57
Q

Chytrids

A

primitive fungi that produce swimming pores. Found in water and soil.

A

bilateral; triploblastic; accolomate; no circulatory system; gas exchange through diffusion

60
Q

How does a fungus live?

A

Fungi live in the soil, on forest floors, in water and even in plants, animals and the air. Digest then ingest, most are decomposers, some are parasitic and some are symbiotic.

61
Q

Gymnosperms

A

naked seed

62
Q

Mullerian

A

Two or more species have warning coloration that is similar.

63
Q

What are the different fields of ecology?

A

• Individual
• Population
• Community
• Ecosystem
biotic, abiotic

64
Q

What are the key features of vertebrate chordates?

A

The vertebrae, Jaws, Bony skeleton, Lobe fins, Limbs lungs and modified verterbrae, amniotic egg, hair long legs and mammary glands.

65
Q

Why do we think all major phyla happened in Cambrian?

A

Intrinsic: something about animals changed Extrinsic: something about the environment changed

66
Q

A

have true tissues; diploblastic; aquatic mostly

67
Q

What is the following adaptation?

A
