Lab practical 1 Flashcards
Prokaryotic cells (simplest organism)
Unicellular, no nucleus & membrane bound organelles , DNA in nucleoid, has ribosomes
What are the two domains of prokaryotes?
Archea and bacteria
Three shapes of prokaryotes
Cocci, spiral and rods
what are protist classified as?Are they fungi, plants or animals?
They are eukaryotes ; eukarya kingdoms
Fungi classification
Eukarya, multi, create spores and contain cell walls
Yeast are classified as?
Unicellular fungi
Plant classified?
Eukarya, cellulose, autrophos, contain cell walls
Three tissues of plants?
Dermal, ground and vascular
Tissues of animal kingdom?
connective, epethalial, muscles and nervous
Animal classifcation
eukarya, no cell walls, heterotrophs
function of epithelial tissues
protection, thicc layers, absorb & secrete
Function of connective tissue
support, connect, anchor produces blood cells and store fat
Synapomorphy
derived traits in an entire group/species that is shared and not necessary share by common ancestor
Nodes on a phylogenetic tree
common ancestor
Function of nervous tissues
control by sending signals
what is derived in phylogenetic?
recent new traits/character in organism that came from most recent ancestor (usually by mutation)
Apomorphy
derived traits that is unique to group/species, it can show common ancestry (recent) or result of convergent evolution
Autapomorphy
One derived trait specie by itself / one taxon
Phylogeny
Evolutionary history of species & their relationships
Function of muscles
movement & generate force
Homoplasy
a character that’s shared by at least 2 organisms individually
Pleisomorphy
ancestral trait
Monophyletic
all descendants came from one common ancestor
