DOL Test 1

Life, Evolution, Protista, Bacteria, and Archaea

QuestionAnswer
What is life? Order, sensitivity, growth, development, regulation, reproduction, homeostasis, and heredity.
Stage 1 of the hypothesis for origin of life The abiotic synthesis of organic monomers
Stage 2 of the hypothesis for origin of life Abiotic synethsis of polymers
Stage 3 of the hypothesis for origin of life Formation of pre-cells
Stage 4 of the hypothesis for origin of life origin of self-replacing molecules
What is a prokaryotic cell? Small and simple. DNA concentrated in nucleoid region. Lacks most organelles
What is a eukaryotic cell? Large and complex. nucleus. has many organelles
How did the eukaryotic cell originate? membrane infolding and endosymbiosis
What are 5 important evidences that support evolution? Fossil record, continental drift, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, and molecular biology
What is natural selection? Process where organisms with certain traits are more likely to survive than organisms who do not have those traits.
What is darwin's theory of natural selection? Excessive numbers of offspring produced. individuals vary among a population.
What are 3 key points of evolution? Individuals do not evolve. Natural selection only affects heritable traits. evolution does not have a final goal in mind.
Temporal Isolation Species mate at different times.
Habitat Isolation Species from different habitat
Behavioral Isolation Specific mating behavior
Mechanical Isolation Genital openings cannot align
Gametic Isolation Sex cells cannot fuse
Reduced hybrid viability Offspring is frail
Reduced hybrid fertility Offspring is sterile
Hybrid breakdown Sterile hybrid
What four ways does evolution cause change in allele frequencies? Mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection
What are three outcomes of natural selection? Directional selection, disruptive selection,, and stabilizing selection.
Directional selection favors extreme end
Disruptive selection two contrasting phenotypes
Stabilizing selection reduces variation
2 major themes in biology resulting in evolution adaption and diversity
Homoplasy a shared state non inherited from a common ancestor
Principle of parsimony the fewer evolutionary events is the best hypothesis
monophyletic most recent common ancestors and all of its descendents
paraphyletic most recent common ancestors and some of its descendents
polyphyletic does not contain the most recent common ancestors of the group
Linnaean hierarchy kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
six kingdoms bacteria, archaea, protista, plantae, fungi, and animalia
Some shapes of bacteria cocci, bacilli, and spirochetes
Chemoheterotrophs obtain nutrients from other sources
Photoautotrophs obtain energy from sunlight
photoheterotrophs obtain energy from sunlight but dependent

euglenozoa mitochondira, autotroph and heterotroph, asexual, stigma, and reservoir
kinetoplastids mitochondria, parasites, african sleeping sickness, tsetse fly
alveolata dinoflagellates, apicomplexans,and ciliates
dinoflagellates 2 flagella, photosynthetic, protective plates of cellulose, asexual, and red tides.
apicomplexans apical complex, parasites, malaria, cat feces
ciliates cilia, micronucleus, macronucleus.
Stramenopila brown algae and diatoms
brown algae plant-like
diatoms unicellula, silica, raphe
rhodophyta red algae
red algae photosynthetic, used in sushi rolls
choanoflagellida choanoflagellates
choanoflagellates sponge relative, flagella, feed on bacteria out of water
amoebas pseudopods
slime molds live in leaf litter, cytoplasm, move like slug
viruses nucleic acid core, protein, DNA or RNA, nonliving, enzymes, and proteins.
shapes of viruses cosahedral
reproduction of viruses entering other cells
bacteriophages bacterial host, diverse, lytic no lysogenic cycle
lytic cycle attachment, penetration, synthesis, assembly, and release
lysogenic cycle integration, propagaiton, induction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
