Q

What types of evidence are used to determine phylogeny?

A 
Fossil record
Homology
Molecular data
DNA hybridization
Molecular clock
Systematics
31
Q

Molecular Clock

A

Nucleic acid changes at a constant rate

32
Q

Systematics

A

Diversity of organisms at all levels of organization

33
Q

Phenetic systematics

A

Species classified by number of similarities

  • measure as many traits as possible
  • count number of traits two species share
  • estimate how closely related they are
  • doesn’t take into account convergent or parallel evolution
34
Q

Traditional systematics

A

Use anatomical data (structural difference)

A evolved organism may not be classified with common ancestor

35
Q

Cladistic systematics

A

Uses derived characteristics to arrange a cladogram

Traces evolutionary history

36
Q

Bacteria

A

Cell wall with peptidoglycan
Unicellular
Prokaryote with phospolipids

37
Q

Archaea

A

Unicellular
Varied lipids
Ribosomes and introns

38
Q

Eukaryotic

A

Eukaryotes
Phospholipids
Membrane bond organelles

39
Q

What are the general characteristics of members of the protist kingdom?

A 
Eukaryotes
Mostly unicellular
Vary in size
Complex
Heterotrophic
Asexual and sexual reproduction
40
Q

How do protists produce sexually?

41
Q

What are photosynthetic protists?

42
Q

Where do plant and animals originate?

43
Q

How are protists classified?

A

Complexity makes it difficult to classify

It’s in the domain eukaryotic and the kingdom Protista

44
Q

What are characteristics of fungi?

A 
Eukaryotes

57
Q

Coelomate

A

Lined by mesodermal tissue

58
Q

Protostome

A

Spiral, determinate cell cleavage, blastopore becomes mouth, coelom forms by splitting mesoderm
