Question | Answer |
---|---|
Origin of plastids | Cyanobacteria, cell lost wall, trasferred some genes into nucleus, retained some genes. |
plants have whats plastids | primary plastids |
origin of Mitochondria | Eukaryotic/protobacteria/mitochondria |
Endosymbiosis | Eukaryotes engulfed a proteobacteria but did not digest it. |
evidence of mitochondria | reproduce through binary fission. double membrane bound, DNA circular, genes share homology sequnce with proteobacteria have own ribosomes. |
chloroplasts | location of photosynthesis, located in mesophyll cells. |
chlorophyll | green absorbs light, located in the thylakoid membranes stacked in columns, surrounded by a dense fluid called stroma. |
Stomata | sites of gas exchange |
Light reactions | Convert solar energy into ATP and NADPH |
The end product of Photosynthesis | ATP- NADPH, PGAL is the true end product. |
Phylogeny | the evolutionary history of a group of organisms |
polymorphism | variation within a pop. but belong to the same species of pop. |
clinal variation | change in phenotype as geography changes |
hybrid zone | geographic area where two different organisms meet and mate. |
Biological Species concept(BSC) | species are the same if they can reproduce healthy viable offspring. Cannot include asexual or fossil species. clumps together species that may be on different evolutionary trajectories. |
Phylogenetic Species Concept (PSC) | clumps species together based on derived phylogenetic characteristics. |
Speciation | the evolution of two or more new species from one pre-existing species. |
Sympatric speciation | evolve in the same geographic location |
Allopatric speciation | species evolve due to geographic isolation. zero gene flow. can lead to speciation. |
Parapatric Speciation | evolution when populations are geographic neighbors. gene flow, selection happens. |
Peripatric speciation | same as allopatric but population starts off very small. can result in the loss of variation. |
