eukaryotes have many ___________
membrane bound organelles
eukaryotes have cells with a complex ___________
cytoskeleton
eukaryotes have what kind of chromosomes
multiple, linear
Are eukaryotes multicellular or unicellular
most are multicellular but fungi and protists are unicellular
how do eukaryotes undergo cell division
using mitosis and meiosis+cytokinesis
When did eukaryotes evolve from simpler prokaryotic cells
more than 2.2 BYA
the earliest eukaryotes were ________
unicellular
How did eukaryotes evolve?
plasma membrane infolding
plasma membrane infolding led to the origins of what organelles
nucleus and ER
definition: explains the origins of mitochondria and chlorplasts
serial endosymbiosis
What does the serial endosymbiosis theory explain
that ancestors of mitochondria and chloroplasts were free-living bacterial cells prior to 2.2 bya
What are the origins of mitochondria
- free living aerobic bacteria was engulfed
- became aerobic endosymbionts
- permanent mutualism and eventually become mitochondria
What are the origins of the chloroplast
- ancient cyanobacteria were engulfed by heterotrophic eukaryotic cells
- became photosynthetic endosymbionts
Chloroplast evolution involved _______ endosymbiotic events
multiple
________ endosymbiosis gave rise to chloroplast in the archaeplastics
primary
_______ endosymbiotic events led to dinoflagellates, brown algae to evolve
secondary
What is the evidence for the serial endosymbiosis
- own genetic material and protein synthesis
- single, circular DNA
- replicate binary fission
- have a double memrane
The former Kingdom Protista is ___________
paraphyletic
How many eukaryotic clades are recognized
five
Which clades have only protists
three the excavates, chromalveolates and rhizarians
Which clades have protists and other eukaryotic groups
two archaeplastid and the unikont
the traits found in this tree are ________
homoplasius
examples of some of the homoplasious characters
multicellularity and photosynthetic
protists are what?
mostly unicellular eukaryotes found in aquatic habitats
