Document Summary
Class 1 note chlamydomonas: a model system. Chlamydomonas: single cell organism, a model system. The information is then sent to the flagella to move the organism, typically towards light because they ate photosynthetic (this is much more of an animal trait) It has traits like a plant (it is photosynthetic) but plants aren"t single cell like the chlamy: most of the eyespot sits in the chloroplast but it has nothing to do with photosynthesis. Chlamydomons phylogeny: chlamy has a chloroplast which puts it on the plant lineage but it diverged fairly early. Chlamydomonas lifecycle: chlamy can be haploid or diploid, mostly it exists as a haploid cell, when grown in a lab, it just divides mitotically (asexually) - zoospore. If it is put under stress, it will differentiate into gametes either plus (+) or minus ( ) mating types. January 9th, 2017: all the cells are the same, there is no division of labour.
