| 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. |
