Term
Definition
Phylogeny   The Origin and diversification of any taxon, or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification, usually presented as a dendrogram.  
🗑
homology   Similarity of parts or organs of different organisms caused by evolutionary derivation from a corresponding part or organ in a common anscestor. Usually has a similar embryonic origin.  
🗑
nested hierarchy   ordering of species into a series of increasingly more inclusive clades according to the taxonomic distribution of synamorphies.  
🗑
clade   A taxon or other group consisting of a particular ancestral lineage and all of its descendants, forming a distinct branch on a cladogram, or phylogenic treee.  
🗑
synapomorphy   shared evolutionarily derived character states that are used to recover patterns of common descent among two or more species. example: both owls and sparrows have feathers.  
🗑
Allopatric Speciation   New species arising through geographical area.  
🗑
Adaptive radiation   Evolutionary diversification that produces numerous ecologically disparate lineages from a single ancestral one.  
🗑
Historical Evolution   A change in species through time.  
🗑
Mechanism for change   artificial selection or teleological. Example: dog breeding.  
🗑
Mechanism for change   Natural selection or nonteleological. Example: selection/passingon of a trait in nature.  
🗑
Mechanisms that change allel frequency   mutation, migration, genetic drift.  
🗑
Special case of Genetic Drift: Bottleneck   bottleneck: a reduction in population size makes population more susceptible to genetic drift and thus results in a loss of genetic variability and genetic representation.  
🗑
Example of Bottleneck   Nothern Elephant Seals, cheetahs.  
🗑
Natural Selection   Certain traits give their possessors more advantages in survival and reproduction.  
🗑
Adaptation   microevolution:  
🗑
speciation   macroevolution  
🗑
Protozoa: Ecological Relationships   Everywhere, but require moisture. 10,000 are symbiotic (mutualist, commensalist or parasitist.  
🗑
Protozoa move by-   Pseudopodia, which make use of temporary extensions of the cytoplasm; Cilia, which are many short fibers made of microtubules; and Flagella which are longer cilia, in which there is only one or two.  
🗑
Two kinds of cytoplasm   Ectoplasm (plasmogel) and Endoplasm (plasmasol).  
🗑
Protozoa feed by-   phagocytosis in which it surrounds its food and engulfs it in a food vacuole.  
🗑
Axoneme   "9+2" tube of microtubules in a flagellum or cilium, which is covered by a membrane continuous with the plasma membrane.  
🗑
kinetosome/basal body   the connection between the axoneme, the inner plate and consists of triplets of microtubules, the same in structure as centrioles.  
🗑
Nutrition of the Protozoa is:   heterotrophic or autotrophic.  
🗑
Digestion of the Protozoa occurs:   Intracellularly through phagocytosis.  
🗑
Protozoa remove waste through_____ and water through ______.   excretion (through the cell membrane, osmoregulation.  
🗑
Two other protists which make use of calcerous and silecious shells are:   Foraminifera and Radiolarians.  
🗑
Tonicity   The relative concentration of two solutes within fluids (two fluids relative to each other).  
🗑
Kinds of Tonicity:   Isotonic (balanced), Hypotonic (solutes > Solvent/water), Hypertonic (solute < solvent/water)  
🗑
Depending on tonicity water flows:   Hypertonic in the cell, water flows in. Hypotonic in the cell, water flows out.  
🗑
Schizogony   Multiple fission (many mitotic divisons and then cytokinesis).  
🗑
Kinds of Flagellates:   Euglena/volvox (cholorplasts), Dinoflagellates (two flagella), terminite flagellates (Giardia, Trypanosoma Brucei Trypanosoma Cruzi).  
🗑
Kinds of Amoebas   Entamoeba hystolytica, Foraminifera, Radiolarians.  
🗑
Phylum Ciliophora:   always multinucleate (macronucleus and micronucleus). May have a pellicle, cytostome and trichocysts.  
🗑
Seven mandatory Taxa/ranks:   Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.  
🗑
The genus and species of an animal are written   Both italicized or underlined, the first letter of the genus capitalized.  
🗑
Phylum Apicomplexa   All endoparasitic with an apical comples and many with spores (oocysts). Some may have invertebrate intermediate hosts (such as plasmodium or malaria).  
🗑
Apical Complex.   A multi organelled part of those in Apicomplexa, which is used to penetrate the host cell.  
🗑
Phylum: Plasmodium.   Malaria. (Types include: vivax, ovale, falciparum.)  
🗑
Protostomes:   include spiral cleavage, some coelomates, primitive gut and blastopore. Animals with protosomal embryonic stages are annelids, platyhelminthes, Rotifers ect.  
🗑
Deuterostomes:   include mostly radial cleavage, endomesoderm from the enterocoelous gut (except in chordates), all coelomates, anus forms at or near blastopore, mouth forms later in a nother place. Animals with Deuterostomal embyronic stages are phyla chordata ect.  
🗑
Symmetry   Radial, Bilateral, Asymmetrical.  
🗑
Anterior   Front of a animal.  
🗑
Posterior   Rear of an animal.  
🗑
Dorsal   Top of an animal.  
🗑
Ventral   Bottom of an animal.  
🗑
Eucoelomate   A true coelom lined with mesodermal peritoneum, also has a "tube-within-a-tube" arrangement. Includes Schizocoelous (split cavity) and enterocoelus (gut cavity).  
🗑
Acoelomate   No body cavity surrounding the gut, no organs.  
🗑
Pseudocoelomate   False cavity- tube within a tube. Two cavities with a persistent bastocoel within. Mesoderm only lines the ecoderm, and is usually a fluid filled space.  
🗑
Metamerism   Segmentation (repitition of segments within an animal, along the longitudinal axis).  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
