Eukaryote diversity - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is a megabase (Mb)? correct answers 1 million bases Is there generally a difference in the amounts of DNA when comparing the genome sizes of viruses --> prokaryotes --> eukaryotes? How does this comparison relate to complexity of these organisms? Be careful. correct answers viruses < prokaryotes < eukaryotes genome sizes does not correlate with complexity, just because an organism has a bigger genome size does not make it more complex. Eukaryotes can differ dramatically...

Adaptation - A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce adventitious roots - roots that arise above ground Alleles - Different forms of a gene allopatric speciation - the process of speciation that occurs with geographic isolation Aneuploidy - Abnormal number of chromosomes. Archea - have cell walls that, do not contain peptidoglycan assotative mating - an individual is more likely to mate with another that is similar in phenotype to itself autosomal inheritance - Inheritance o...

Monophyletic Group - Answer-includes all the descendants of a common ancestor, and its considered a natural grouping of organisms based on a shared ancestry. Paraphyletic Group - Answer-some (not all) of descendants of a common ancestor Polyphyletic Group - Answer-organisms from distinct lineages based on shared characters, but no common ancestor Homologies - Answer-similarities based on shared ancestry Analogies - Answer-similarities based on independent adaptations Synapomorphies - Answ...

Biological Productivity - the rate of generation of biomass in an ecosystem; western margins of continents have high prosuctivity and the Artic has the most because of high levels of upwelling and downwelling bc there is no thermocline Photosynthesis formula - 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight ---> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 Photosynthesis - Inputs: Carbon Dioxide, water, sunlightOutputs: Glucose, oxygen Euphotic Zone - Upper layer of a body of water through which sunlight can penetrate and support photos...

Alternation of generations - Cycle has BOTH multicellular haploid & multicellular diploid forms Are the most visible life stages of the land plant groups sporophytes (2n) or gametophytes (n)? - All are sporophyte except nonvascular is gametophyte Changing-environment hypothesis - offspring that are genetic clones of their parents are unlikely to thrive if the environment changes Crossing over - homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information Diploid dominant life cycle - Similar to ani...
