Lecture 2 Diversity I
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes…
Have cell membranes and ribosomes
Have a common set of metabolic pathways
Replicate DNA semiconservatively
Use DNA as the genetic material to encode proteins, and produce these proteins by transcription
and translation
These similarities support the conclusion that all living organisms are related.
Domains: primary divisions of life
Three total domains (2 prokaryotic, 1 eukaryotic)
o Bacteria (prokaryotic)
Stromatolites: living mats of bacteria
o Archaea (prokaryotic)
o Eukarya (eukaryotic)
Prokaryotes: consist of bacteria and archaea
Unicellular
Can form large colonies or biofilms
Don't divide by mitosis
o Cells divide via binary fission
No membrane-bound nucleus
DNA is circular
o Many prokaryotes have one main chromosome and are haploid
o Many have additional smaller DNA molecules, called plasmids
No membrane-bound organelles (i.e. mitochondria, Golgi, etc.)
Eukaryotes
Unicellular or multicellular
Divide by mitosis
Membrane-bound nucleus
DNA is linear
Membrane-bound organelles (i.e. mitochondria, Golgi, etc.)

Eukarya
Membrane-enclosed nucleus

According to genetic information, all three domains had a single common ancestor.
Eukaryotes share a more recent common ancestor with Archaea than they do with Bacteria.

Document Summary

Prokaryotes a(cid:374)d eukaryotes : have cell membranes and ribosomes, have a common set of metabolic pathways, replicate dna semiconservatively, use dna as the genetic material to encode proteins, and produce these proteins by transcription and translation. These similarities support the conclusion that all living organisms are related. Three total domains (2 prokaryotic, 1 eukaryotic: bacteria (prokaryotic) Stromatolites: living mats of bacteria: archaea (prokaryotic, eukarya (eukaryotic) Eukaryotes: unicellular or multicellular, divide by mitosis, membrane-bound nucleus, dna is linear, membrane-bound organelles (i. e. mitochondria, golgi, etc. ) According to genetic information, all three domains had a single common ancestor. Eukaryotes share a more recent common ancestor with archaea than they do with bacteria: eukarya and archaea form a clade. Luca: the last universal common ancestor: by determining key features that all organisms share, we can hypothesize that these are traits that. Semiconservative replication: each strand of dna functions as a template for the complimentary strand.
