Q

phylogenetic trees + sister taxa

A
  • represents hypothesis about evolutionary relationships
  • each branch point: represents divergence of 2 evolutionary lineages from a common ancestor

sister taxa: groups that share an immediate common ancestor that is not shared by any other group (sisters- closely related)

  • there is a sister group associate with each branch point in a tree

Q

homology vs analogy + example

A

homology: similarity due to shared ancestry

analogy: similarity due to convergent evolution
- unrelated species evolve superficial similarities through convergent evolution in response to natural selection to similar environmental conditions (was bolded)

  • ex. austrailian “mole” and African golden mole - both resulted from adaption to similar lifestyles, not shared ancestry (also bolded)

Q

monophyletic vs. paraphyletic vs. polyphyletic groups

A

monophyletic (clade): consists of the ancestor and all of its descendants
- everyone is direct line of descendant

paraphyletic: consists of an ancestral species and some, but not all, descendants (common ancestor to all members if part of the group)
- family reunion where some cousins are missing

polyphyletic: includes distantly related species grouped together because they have similar traits (most recent common ancestor is not part of the group)
- everyone in the group just has blue eyes

Q

outgroup vs. in-group species

A

in group: main focus of the study or the comparison
- main characters of the story

outgroup: used for comparison but aren’t the main focus
- used to help understand evolutionary relationships with the in-group species
- they compare traits and characteristics between the in-group and outgroup to figure out how they’re related

Q

how is the point at which characters were derived determined?

characters: traits or features

A

by comparing members of the ingroup with each other and the outgroup (bolded)

  • characters shared by the outgroup and ingroup are assumed to be ancestral
  • each derived character is assumed to have arisen only once in the ingroup

Q

how horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in tree gene disparities

A

horizontal gene transfer: genes transfer “sideways” instead of down, so not parent to offspring but one genome (complete set of DNA in one organism) to another

  • can occur by exchange of transposable elements (nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome) and plasmids, viral infection, and possibly fusion
  • disparities between different trees may results from movement of genes between the domains (major groups of life- genes jumping around between different type of organisms)

Q

viral replicative cycle

A
  1. virus enters cell and is uncoated, releasing viral DNA and capsid proteins
  2. host enzymes replicate the viral genome
  3. meanwhile, host enzymes transcribe the viral genome into viral mRNA, which host ribosomes use to make more capsid proteins
  4. viral genomes and capsid proteins self-assemble into new virus particles, which exit the cell

other bolded info:
- viral infection begins when a virus binds to a host cell and the viral genome makes its way inside

  • once a viral genome has entered the cell, cell begins to manufacture viral proteins
  • viral nucleic acid molecules and capsomeres (make up capsid) spontaneously self-assemble into new viruses

Q

2 alternative reproductive mechanisms for phases (lytic vs. lysogenic)

A

lytic: “attack and conquer”, virus infects cell and takes over machinery to make more viruses, kills host cell (bursts open to release progeny phages)
- production of new phases

lysogenic: “sneaky sleeper agent”, instead of immediately taking over and destroying, virus hides in the genetic material inside cell’s DNA, doesnt kill host cell
- but can later become lytic, but stays hidden for a while
- genome integrates into bacterial chromosomes as prophage, which is either replicated and passed to daughter cells or induced to leave the chromosome and initiate lytic

Q

virulent vs temperate phage

A

virulent: phage that reproduces only by the lytic cycle

temperate: phages that use both lytic and lysogenic cycles
- called lambda and is widely used in biological research
- every time host divides, it copies phage DNA and passes to daughter cells
- environmental trigger can cause it to switch to lytic

Q

bacterial defenses against phages (after having survived an infection)

A
  • cell can block attempts of the same type of phage to reinfect it
  • CRISPR region in DNA of cell gets activated when the virus tries to infect again → CRISPR region produces special RNA molecules
  • RNA molecules produced by CRISPR are cut into pieces and bound to cas proteins
  • the cas proteins go around with the RNA pieces to find and target the genetic material of the invading virus
  • once phage identified, cas proteins cut up and destroy genetic material of the virus, preventing it from hurting the cell

Q

viral envelopes

A
  • viral glycoproteins on envelope bind to specific receptor molecules on surface of a host cell
  • viral envelope usually derived from host cell’s plasma membrane as the viral capsids exit (wears the cells clothing as disguise as it leaves)
  • other viral membranes form from host’s nuclear envelope and are then replaced by an envelope made from golgi apparatus membrane
  • ex. herpes virus

Q

retroviruses

A

instead of going straight to work as soon as they infect a cell, they turn their RNA into DNA

  • even though most organisms store their genetic material as DNA, retroviruses store genetic info as RNA
  • uses reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA which becomes part of the host cell’s genetic material

ex. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) - retrovirus that causes AIDS

Q

provirus

A

when a retroviruses’ (or any virus)’s
DNA becomes part of the host cell’s DNA

  • retrovirus stashes its blueprint inside host cell’s genetic library = becomes permanent resident
  • can stay dormant or become active and start making new virus particles

(what makes retroviruses so hard to treat)

on slide:
- RNA polymerase transcribes proviral DNA into RNA molecules

  • RNA molecules function both as mRNA for synthesis of viral proteins and as genomes for new virus particles released from the cell

Q

emerging viral diseases

A
  • illnesses caused by viruses that are novel to humans to have undergone significant changes that make them more virulent or capable of spreading rapidly
  • influenza is one cause it mutates rapidly
  • normal seasonal flu viruses are not considered emerging viruses because variants of them have been circulating among humans for a long time
  • however, those viruses still undergo mutations and reassortment
  • variations thought to be most likely o occur each year are selected to generate vaccines

Q

gram-positive vs. gram-negative bacteria

A
  • scientists use the gram the stain to classify bacteria by cell wall composition

gram-positive bacteria (purple-pink): simpler cell walls made up of a thick layer of a substance called peptidoglycan

gram-negative bacteria (red): more complex cell walls with outer membrane that consists of lipopolysaccharides
(LPS) and less peptidoglycan
- tend to be more resistant to antibiotics than gram-positive bacteria

Q

prokaryotic cell surface structures + 3 functions

A

many prokaryotes have a sticky layer of polysaccharide or protein surrounding cell wall
- called capsule if dense and well-defined - called slime if it is not well organized

function of both types:
- enable adherence to substrate or other individuals (glue)
- prevent dehydration
- protect pathogenic prokaryotes from host’s immune system

fimbriae vs. pili

A

fimbriae: some prokaryotes have these hairlike appendages that allow them to stick to their substrate or other individuals in a colony

pili (or sex pili): longer than fimbriae, function is to pull 2 cells together enabling the exchange of DNA from 1 cell to another

Q

endospores in bacteria

A
  • when conditions like lack of water or nutrients threatens survival of certain bacteria, they form special structures called endospores
  • original bacteria cell copies its genetic info (chromosome) and wraps it in layers of protection to form endospore (puts genetic material into protective shell)
  • endospore loses water and becomes dormant (metabolism halts), meaning all its activity stops (kinda like hibernation)
  • original cell dies, releasing the endospore
  • endospores can withstand extreme conditions and can remain viable for centuriesss!!! until conditions are favorable again

in prokaryotes, genetic recombination happens by:
- transformation
- transduction
- conjugation
- horizontal gene transfer (movement of genes between individual prokaryotes of different species)

Q

3 factors that contribute to high levels of genetic diversity in prokaryotes

A
  1. rapid reproduction
  2. mutations
  3. genetic recombinations
37
Q

mutations in prokaryotes

A
  • cells produced by binary fission (split into 2 identical cells) are usually identical, but differences can arise through mutations
  • mutation rates are typically low but mutations accumulate rapidly since bacteria reproduce quickly and in large numbers
  • individuals that are genetically better equipped for environment survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals

rapid production of genetic diversity = rapid adaptation by natural selection

38
Q

transformation & transduction in bacteria

A

transformation: bacteria incorporate foreign DNA taken up from their surroundings- could result in new traits

transduction: virus acting as a delivery service for genetic material, phages accidentally incorporate DNA from one bacteria into themselves and then inject that when they infect the next bacteria

39
Q

conjugation

A
  • bacterial mating
  • 2 bacteria come together and form a physical bridge between them called a pilus - this bridge transfers genetic material between them
  • involves piece of DNA called plasmid which carries extra genes that can provide benefits
  • in bacteria, DNA transfer is always one way: one cell donates the DNA and the other receives it
40
Q

3 steps of conjugation in E. coli

A
  1. Pilus of the donor cell attaches to recipient
  2. Pilus retracts, pulling the 2 cells together
  3. DNA is transferred through a temporary structured called the “mating bridge”
41
Q

the F factor

A

a piece of DNA called F factor (F for fertility - helps in reproduction) is required for the production of pili

  • can either be in a plasmid or in the chromosomes
42
Q

F factor in the plasmid

A

F+ cells: have the F plasmid, act as donors of DNA during conjugation

F- cells: dont have the F factor, act as recipients of DNA

  • an F+ cell can convert an F- cell to an F+ cell if it transfers an entire F plasmid to the F- cell
  • if only part of the F plasmid’s DNA is transferred, the recipient cell will be recombinant
43
Q

F factor in the chromosomes

A

if they have F factor in the chromosomes, they get called Hfr cells (high frequency of recombination) are donors during conjugation

  • higher frequency of recombination during conjugation because they transfer not only the F factor, but also some of their DNA = genetic recombination
44
Q

nitrogen fixation

A
  • good thing that prokaryotes do
  • convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3)
  • great impact on environment: increases nitrogen available to plants, which cannot use atmospheric nitrogen but can use ammonia
45
Q

metabolic cooperation in cells

ex. filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena

A

teamwork among bacteria cells, where different cells work to perform tasks that they couldn’t do alone

in Anabaena: cells are specialized for nitrogen-fixation or photosynthesis

  • heterocysts that prevent oxygen penetration are specialized for nitrogen-fixation
  • photosynthetic cells exchange carbs for the fixed nitrogen produced by the heterocysts
46
Q

cyanobacteria + evolutionary significance

A

only prokaryotes with plantlike, oxygen-generating photosynthesis

believed that plant chloroplasts likely evolved from cyanobacteria by the process of endosymbiosis (endosymbiosis = one organism engulfed by another but forms beneficial relationship with host)

47
Q

extremophiles

A

archae that live in extreme environments, uninhabitable for most organisms

archae = group of single-celled microorganisms similar to bacteria but have distinct genetic characteristic, often found in extreme conditions, like salty places and high temps

48
Q

exotoxins vs. endotoxins in pathogenic bacteria

A

exotoxins: toxins produced inside bacteria and released into surroundings that can cause disease

endotoxins: toxins found within the cell walls of certain types of bacteria that only release when the bacteria die and cell wall is broken down
- lipopolysaccharide components of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria

49
Q

role of horizontal gene transfer in creating pathogenic bacteria

A
  • horizontal gene transfer can spread genes associated with virulence (danger) to normally harmless bacteria
  • ex. E. coli used to live peacefully in our intestines but then got harmful gene from pathogenic bacteria and now became dangerous and can cause illness
50
Q

mitochondria and plastids in evolution

A

mitochondria and plastids are derived from bacteria that were engulfed by ancestors of early eukaryotes

evidence suggests mitochondria (invited in first) evolved before plastids

  • arose from alpha proteobacterium
51
Q

plastid evolution

A

arose later when a heterotrophic eukaryote engulfed a photosynthetic cyanobacterium

plastids = double membrane organisms that manufacture and store food for the plant

52
Q

excavata (protists)

A

includes 3 clades (group of organisms from common ancestor):

parabasalids: also has reduced mitochondria and mostly live in anaerobic conditions, best known is Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted parasite

diplomonads: typically lack mitochondria, have a mini version called mitosomes
- lack electron transport chains so energy is derived from anaerobic pathways
- many are parasites like Giardia intestinalis which causes intestinal infections in mammals

euglenozoans: often found in aquatic environments
- kinetoplastids: some species parasitize animals, plants, and other protists. ex. members of genus Trypanosoma infest humans, causing sleeping sickness

53
Q

SAR (protists)

A

includes 3 large clades: stramenopilia, alveolata, and rhizaria

-ex. diatoms are important photosynthetic stramenopiles

54
Q

archaeplastida (protists)

A
  • includes red and green algae and plants
  • red and green algae include unicellular, colonial, and multicellular species
55
Q

protists: SAR: stramenopiles

A

most stramenopiles have a “hairy” flagellum paired with a shorter “smooth” (nonhairy) flagellum

diatoms: unicellular algae with a unique, two part, glass like shell of silicon dioxide (protests diatoms from crushing jaws of predators)

brown algae: most are marine, including many species commonly called “seaweeds”
- some have gas-filled, bubble shaped floats to keep photosynthetic structures (leaflike blades) near the water surface (bolded)

56
Q

alternation of generations in multicellular algae

A
  • variety of life cycles have evolved among multicellular algae = most complex is alternation of generations
  • diploid = sporophyte, haploid = gametophyte

heteromorphic species, such as Laminaria have structurally different gametophytes and sporophytes

= means that the two stages look so different that it looks like different plants, but its not

57
Q

protists: SAR: the 3 clades of alveolates

A

3 clades included in the alveolates:
- dinoflagellates
- apicomplexans
- ciliates

58
Q

protists: SAR: Alveolates: Apicomplexans

A

nearly all apicomplexans are parasites of animals - they spread through host as infectious cells called sporozoites

steps:
1. infected mosquito bites a person, injecting sporozoites in its saliva

  1. sporozoites enter the person’s liver cells. after several days, the sporozoites undergo multiple mitotic divisions and become merozoites, which use their apical complex to penetrate red blood cells
  2. merozoites divide asexually inside red blood cells and at 48-72 hour intervals, large numbers break out of cells, causing chills and fever
  3. some merozoites form gametocytes
  4. another mosquito bites the infected person and picks up the gametocytes along with blood
  5. gametes form from gametocytes, each male produces several slender male gametes

(rest not boxed) but then fertilize inside mosquito and become babies that go into mosquitos saliva and keep spreading

59
Q

protists: SAR: Alveolates: Ciliates

A

named for their use of cilia to move around and feed on bacteria or other protists

filled with cilia that may completely cover the cell surface or be clustered in a few rows or tufts

60
Q

protists: SAR: Rhizarians

A

most species of rhizarians are amoebas

amoebas: protists that move and feed using psuedopodia (extensions of the cell surface)

3 clades of rhizarians:
- radiolarians
- forams
- cercozoans

61
Q

protists: SAR: Rhizarians: Forams

A

Forams (also called Foraminiferans) are tiny ocean creatures that are named for their porous (has little holes) calcium carbonate shells called tests

62
Q

closest relative of plants

A

are red algae and green algae

  • plastids arose when a heterotrophic protist acquired a cyanobacterial endosymbiont

idek how this is different from the other one but its bolded on the slide so

63
Q

protists: archaeplastida: red algae

A

reproduction is sexual in red algae and life cycles often include alternation of generations

  • do not have flagellated gametes so depend on water current to bring gametes together for fertilization

red algae are common in coastal waters of tropical oceans

(all bolded)

64
Q

Unikonta: Ameobozoans

A
  • are amoebas that have lobe- or tube shaped, rather than threadlike, psuedopodia

they include:
- tubulinids
- slime molds
- entameobas

65
Q

symbiotic protists examples

A

symbiosis = close and long-term interaction between 2 different species

  • some parabasalids inhabit the guts of termites and aid with the digestion of wood
  • some protists symbionts are parasites like plasmodium causes malaria in humans
66
Q

hyphae & mycelium in fungi

A

hyphae: tiny thread like filaments that make up structure of fungi
- hyphae have tubular cell walls around them made of chitin

mycelium: dense, tangled web of hyphae spreading through the soil
- network for the fungus to explore and feed on its food source (decomposing organic matter) - they’re like tentacles that go out and explore

67
Q

mycorrhizae + 2 types

A

mutually beneficial relationships between fungi and plant roots

2 main types:
ectomycorrhizal fungi: fungus forms sheath (covering) of hyphae around tree’s roots and together they exchange nutrients

arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi: instead of blanket, more like fungus is inside of the tree’s roots, forming structures called arbuscules helping tree absorb nutrients

most vascular plants depend on mycorrhizae
- fungi colonizes soil by dispersal of spores

68
Q

sexual reproduction in fungi

A

plasmogamy: a hug, cytoplasm of 2 parent mycelia comes together allowing them to share resources and genetic material
- heterokaryon: type of fungal cell that contains 2 or more genetically distinct nuclei within a single cytoplasm, happens when cells hug but dont do the rest yet (karyogamy)

karyogamy: the more intimate part, haploid nuclei fuse, genetic material combines bringing together DNA producing diploid cells (zygote)

the short-lived diploid cell undergoes meiosis, producing haploid spores (“sexual spores”)

steps from the red box:
plasmogamy → heterokaryotic stage → karyogamy → meiosis → germination → mycelium → asexual starts now spore-producing structures → germination

69
Q

asexual reproduction in fungi

A

molds: produce haploid spores asexually by mitosis and form visible “furry” mycelia (early stages of mycelial growth)

single-celled yeasts reproduce asexually without producing spores

70
Q

fungi: chytrids vs zoopagomycetes

A

chytrids: type of fungi that produce flagellated spores called zoospores that help it move in water

zoopagomycetes: another type of fungi that grow as hyphae and reproduce asexually by making spores without flagella

71
Q

zygosporangium

A

when fungi like zoopagomycetes and mucoromycete want to reproduce sexually, they form this durable structure called a zygosporangium
- houses and protests the zygote

72
Q

mucoromycetes and zygosporangium

A
  • when conditions are tough, mucoromycetes form a zygosporangium
  • when conditions get better, meiosis occurs and zygosporangium germinates into a sporangium
  • sporangium releases genetically diverse haploid spores
73
Q

fungi: ascomycetes + sexual and asexual stage

A
  • 25% of them have symbiotic associations with green algae or cyanobacteria called lichens
  • often called “sac fungi” because have sac-like structures called asci where they make spores
  • sexual stage: produce fruit bodies called ascocarps that contain spore-forming asci
  • asexual stage: enormous numbers of asexual spores called conidia are produced
74
Q

fungi: basidiocarps

A

fruiting bodies of basidiomycete fungi (they’re like the mushrooms you see above ground)

ex. common white mushrooms found in supermarkets are basidiocarps

mushroom results from a concentrated growth of hyphae that forms from a dikaryotic mycelium (2 nuclei in each cell instead of one)

75
Q

lichens

A

symbiotic associations between photosynthetic microorganisms and fungi

  • photosynthetic partners are unicellular green algae or cyanobacteria and fungal partners are most often ascomycetes
76
Q

choanoflagellates

A

protists that are considered closest living relatives to animals

  • the common ancestor may have resembled modern choanoflagellates
77
Q

ectoderm, endoderm, diploblastic animals, and triploblastic animals

A

ectoderm: outermost layer of cells that forms the skin and the nervous system (top layer of bread)

endoderm: innermost layer of cells that lines blind pouch (archenteron) that forms gut and digestive system (bottom layer of bread)

diploblastic animals: have only ectoderm and endoderm (simple sandwich with only 2 layers)
- cnidarians

triploblastic animals: in addition to ectoderm and endoderm, also have mesoderm which gives rise to muscles and most organs (fancy sandwich)
- all bilaterally symmetrical animals

78
Q

cleavage patterns in animals with protostome and deuterostome development

A

protostome
- spiral cleavage: cell divides in spiral pattern, creating spiral arrangement of cells

  • determinate cleavage: cutting with cookie cutter, shape is as is, determined very early

deuterostome
- radial cleavage: stacking building blocks on top of one another, cell divides in way that creates layers, each one directly above

  • indeterminate cleavage: dividing clay into smaller parts, but each part has potential to become something else, fate of cell is not determined
  • idk if u need to know the definitions of all, they’re not bolded but need to know the classifications for sure

Q

blastopore in protostome and deuterostome development

A

blastopore = indentation in the gastrula that leads to the formation of the archenteron (forms the gut)

protostome: blastopore becomes the mouth
deuterostome: blastopore becomes the anus

80
Q

Eumetazoa & Bilateria (diversification of animals)

A

Eumetazoa: clade of animals that has tissue, like muscles and nerves
- most animals fall into this group except sponges and a few others

Bilateria: subgroup of Eumetazoa
- includes animals that have bilateral symmetry (can be divided into 2 equal halves) and have 3 germ layers (ecto, meso, endo)

81
Q

3 clades of bilaterians

A

bilaterians = animals that have bilateral symmetry

1. deuterostomia: may be invertebrates or vertebrates

2. ecdysozoa: all invertebrates that have exoskeleton that sheds as they grow
- includes: nematodes and arthropods

3. Lophotrochozoa: more diverse group that includes animals that may have lophophores (used for feeding), like ectoprocts or trochophore larvae (early-stage larvae), like mollusks (snail) and annelids (worms)

82
Q

cnidarians + medusozoans and anthozoans (invertebrates)

A

group of animals that live in water, mostly in oceans
- creatures like corals, hydras, jellyfish
- defining characteristic is stinging prey
- diploblastic with radially symmetrical bodies

medusozoans: all cnidarians that produce a medusa (spent most of their time in jellyfish-like form)
- scyphozoans (jellies)
- cubozoans (cube jellies)
- hydrozoans (hydra)

anthozoans: mostly stay anchored to the sea floor
- corals: can be solitary or colonial, form symbioses with algae, and secrete a hard exoskeleton of calcium carbonate

83
Q

Lophotrochozoans: Molluscs parts (invertebrates)

A

THEYRE SNAILS BRUH

muscular foot: usually used for movement
visceral mass: contains most of internal organs
mantle: fold of tissue draping over visceral mass that secretes the shell

radula: scrapes up food, for feeding

  • many mollusks have ciliated larval stage called the trochophore
84
Q

lophotroschozoans: annelids (invertebrates)

A
  • segmented words
  • have a coelom
  • now divided into 2 clades:
    errantia and sedentaria

sedenteria = leeches

85
Q

leeches

A

sedenteria of annelids

  • some slit the skin of their host and secrete anesthetic to prevent detection
  • secretion of hirudin prevents coagulation, enabling them to gorge on the host’s blood
86
Q

ecdysozoa: arthropods (invertebrates)

A
  • insects, lobster, crayfish, spiders
  • body consists of segmented body, hard exoskeleton, and jointed appendages
  • have open circulatory system that uses heart to pump hemolymph into cavity surrounding the tissues and organs (the hemocoel)

3 major lineages that diverged early:
- chelicerates (sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, scorpions, ticks, mites, and spiders)
- myriapods (centipedes and millipedes)
- pancrustaceans (insects, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles, and other crustaceans

(all these examples were bolded)

87
Q

chordates (vertebrates)

A

all chordates share a set of derived characters, but they may appear only during early development

4 key characters:
- notochord: flexible rod that runs along back of animal, provides support and structure

  • dorsal, hollow nerve cord: bundle of nerves that eventually develops into brain and spinal cord
  • pharyngeal slits or clefts: openings in throat area (pharynx) that connect to outside world
  • muscular, post-anal tail: tail bruh

Ancestral chordates likely resembled lancelets (like fish but lack jaws and obvious organs, just like a line), which retain all key chordate traits as adults

88
Q

amniotes (vertebrates)

A

tetrapods whose living members are the reptiles (including birds) and mammals

  • named for amniotic egg which contains 4 membranes that protect embryo
  • key adaptation for life on land = amniotic off reduced dependance on water for reproduction
