AP Biology- Unit 9

AP Biology- Unit 9 - Chap 22/23/13- Phylogeny/Viruses/Bacteria

QuestionAnswer
Phylogeny Evolutionary history of a species
Systematics Connects classification
History of life of Earth is punctuated by mass exinctions.
Morphological & molecular homologies Similiarities based on shared ancestries.
3 types of systematics Hierarchical system, Linnaean system, binomial system
Cladograms in phylogeny Patterns of shared characteristics.
Molecular clock Rate of change is calculated and then extrapolated back.
3 Domains of Universal Tree of Life Bacteria, Eukarya, Archaea
1st virus discovered in plants (1800's) Tobacco mosaic virus
Viral envelope Derived from host cell membrane.
Generalized viral life cycle Parasites, Entry, Assimilation, Self assembly
Bacteriophages example Phages that infect E. coli
Viral hosts Each type of virus can infect & parasitize only a limited range of host cells.
Natural selection Favors phage mutants resistant to bacterial defenses.
Retroviruses Host's RNA polymerase now transcribes viral DNA into viral RNA molecules.
HIV Envelopes weith glycoproteins for binding to specific WBC.
What does Transcription produce in an HIV infection? More copies of viral RNA.
Most tumor viruses probably cause cancer only in combination with other mutagenic events.
Viruses that mutate & "jump" host Hanta virus, Ebola virus
Classification - New 3 Domain system Bacteria, Archaebacteria, Eukaryotes
In Prokaryotic metabolism, how do bacteria get their energy & nutrients? Photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs, heterotrophs
Why does life on Earth depend on bacteria? It's a decomposer and nitrogen fixation.
How do cells vary the amount of specific enzymes? By regulating gene transcription.
Operon example Enzymes in a biosysnthesis pathway.
Tryptophan operon binds allosterically to regulatory protein.
Operons produce enzymes only when nutrient is available.
Which taxa contains organisms that are most distantly related? Class
What characteristic to prokaryotes and eukaryotes share? Kinds of nucleotides in their DNA.
Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes by what characteristics? Structure of flagella, ribosomes, and chromosomes. Also, methods of cell division.
Organisms that are photosynthetic. Cyanbacteria, diatoms, dinoflagellates, Phaeophyta
An organism that isn't photosynthetic. Foraminifera
Examples of mutualism. 1) lichens, 2) mycorrhizae, 3) nitrogen-fixing bacteria in nodules, and 4) zooflagellates that live in the guts of termites
Not an example of mutualism. Plasmodial slime molds
Asexual reproduction in fungi is carried out by conidia.
Angiosperms differ from all other plants because they produce fruits.
The deuterostomes differ from protostomes in what way? 1) Early cleavages of the zygote, 2) ultimate function of the opening to the archenteron, 3) embryonic origin of the mouth, and 4) embryonic origin of the coelom
Both deuterostomes and protostomes have three germ layers in the developing embryo.
What characteristics do roundworms have? 1) a pseudocoelom, 2) bilateral symmetry, 3) a mesoderm germ layer, 4) an ectoderm germ layer
Roundworms do not have a notochord.
A characteristic common to all chordates that is lacking in other animal groups is the appearance of pharyngeal gill slits.
The science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms is taxonomy.
Closely related genera may be grouped together in a single family.
Related classes are grouped together in the same phylum.
In the six-kingdom system, the kingdom that includes the protozoa is Protista.
A taxon that contains a recent common ancestor and all its descendants is monophyletic.
Using DNA as a molecular barcode could help taxonomists identify and describe new species.
The conclusion that fungi are more closely related to animals that to plants was based in large part on comparing ribosomal RNA sequences.
Some systematics classify crocodiles and birds in the same taxon because they are monophyletic. These systematists follow which approach? Cladistic
When cladists use the principle of parsimony, they choose the simplest explanation to interpret the data.
The genome of a virus consists of DNA or RNA.
The capsid of a virus consists of protein.
The correct sequence in viral reproduction is attachment, penetration, replication, assembly, release.
Peptidoglycan is a chemical compound found in the cell walls of most Eubacteria.
In conjugation, two bacterial cells of different mating types come together, and genetic material is transferred from one to another.
The majority of heterotrophic bacteria are free-living saprotrophs.
Bacteria that thrive in puncture wounds are likely to be obligate anaerobes.
Bacteria that are autotrophs manufacture their own organic molecules from simple raw materials.
What group of bacteria contains the Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium that causes botulism? Clostridia
A mutation that inactivates the repressor gene of the lac operon results in the continuous transcription of the structural genes.
An mRNA molecule transcribed from the lac operon contains nucleotide sequences complementary to structural genes coding for enzymes.
What is typically absent in bacteria? Enhancers
What is characteristic of genes and gene regulation in both bacteria and eukaryotes? Promoter
What is characteristic of genes and gene regulation in eukaryotes, but not bacteria? Enhancers and transcription factors
