photosynthetic eukaryotes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Photosynthetic eukaryote groups | glaucophytes, land plants, green algae, red algae, chlorarachniophytes, dinoflagellates, diatoms, brown algae, cryptomonads, haptophytes, euglenoids |
| Discicristates group | euglenoids, trypanosomes, leishmanias |
| Stramenopiles group | oomycetes, diatoms, brown algae |
| Alveolates group | ciliates, dinoflagellates, apicomplexans |
| Rhizaria group | chlorarachniophytes, foraminiferans, radiolarians |
| Primary plastid groups | glaucophytes, red algae, charophycean green algae, land plants |
| Ostreococcus | Ancestor of all photosynthetic eukaryotes, smallest fre-living eukaryote, single/morphologically simple chloroplast, multiple mitochondria |
| Experimenters of multicellularity | Hydrodictyon (web/sheet), and Volvox (sac with daughter cells) |
| Chlamydomonas life cycle | Asexual and sexual reproduction depending on conditions. has +/- mating types (mini sex chromosomes) Zygote dominant form in soils, light triggers meiosis |
| Acetabularia genetic model system | Also known as mermaid's wineglass, the nucleus/genetic material resides within stem, allowing tops to be transplanted to other stems |
| Ulvophyte characteristics | Morphologically variable, multicellular form = two layers thick, closed mitosis (nuclear envelope remains intact), alternation of isomorphic generations |
| Isomorphic generations | When the diploid and haploid phase of an organism are identical (or very close). usually exhibit behavioral differences |
