-Zygote formation. Zygote is first 2n (Diploid) cell.




Then recombination occurs




(Basically, Haploid cells (Gamete and spirm) form to create Diploid cell (Zygote ))




What is the first supergroup?


Ans: Excavata




What is asexual reproduction?


Ans: One parent, and offsprings are identical clones to parent.

,What are the 3 organisms of sexual life cycles and how do they differ regarding what

, What is a readily observable characteristic that indicates that the Euglenids are a product of

secondary endosymbiosis?

Ans: Photosynthetic species' chloroplasts with 3- membrane layers. Indicates secondary

endosymbiosis!




What are the characteristics of Kinetoplastids?

Ans: Unicellular with one large mitochondrion.

Associated with kinetoplast kinetoplast containing

extranuclear DNA.




African Sleeping Sickness is caused by Trypanosoma. What is the vector of this disease?

Why is it impossible for the host to develop an immunity to this disease.

Ans: Vector = Tse Tse Fly




Treatable, if detected early.

Molecular change in coat prevents immunity by host.

What are the three clades of SAR?

Ans: Stramenopiles, Alveolata, Rhizaria
