Lecture 2 Flashcards
eukaryotic cells may have originated as –
predators
eukaryotes have – genomes
hybrid
genetic info has been – since the days of the last common ancestor of all living things
conserved
eukaryotic genomes are significantly – than prokaryotic ones
bigger
humans have more – DNA genes
regulatory
humans have – times more genes than e. coli
10
most bacteria and archaea have – genes
1000-6000
e. coli genome size
4.6 million
e. coli genes #
4300
human genome size
3200 million
human genes #
30,000
– of human genome does not code for proteins
98.5%
– of E. coli genome does not code for proteins
11%
new genes are generated from –
preexisting genes
four modes of genetic innovation
intragenic mutation, gene duplication, DNA segment shuffling, and horizontal transfer
homology - speciation gives rise to two separate species
ortholog
homology - gene duplication and divergence
paralog
the – in the zygote determines the nature of the whole multicellular organism
hereditary info
skin cells, neuron, and pigment cells
ectoderm
sperm and egg
germ cells
muscle cells, tubule cell (of kidney), RBC
mesoderm
lung cell, thyroid cell, pancreatic cell
endoderm
different cells – different genes at different times at different levels
express
