1.All living organisms alive today are assumed to have evolved from some one-celled ancestor that lived about four billion years ago and has been called the Last Universal Common Ancestor or LUCA. LUCA has been extinct for a long time but evolutionary biologists have hypothesized as to what it was like. Given the characteristics of modern prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, what cellular characteristics would you suggest that LUCA had? What type of cellular respiration might LUCA have used? Why?

1. Biologists have tried to re-construct prokaryotic family trees using nucleic acids from gene sequences, much like they do with animals and plants. However, their analyses, for the most part, have shown conflicting and variable results. Can you explain why?

2. Many biologists speculate that the first major steps in the evolution of a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic ancestor would be the loss of a cell wall and the development of an extensive cytoskeleton. Why do you suppose these steps are so important? Explain.

3. Most regulatory proteins (activators or repressors) form dimers before they can bind. What are the advantages of dimerization of these proteins? Why do heterodimers bind different DNA sequences than homodimers? How might dimerization be used to regulate gene expression?

4. Architectural like HMG’s can bind to DNA and cause the DNA to bend at a sharp angle. Some of these protein promote transcription even though they do not contact the RNA Polymerase, GTF or any other regulatory protein. What is a plausible explanation for how these DNA bending proteins influence gene expression?
