BIO-1801 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Binomial Nomenclature, Chloroplast, Homeostasis
Document Summary
Evolutionary change involves modifications of characteristics in pre-existing populations. Vertical descent with modification: accumulation of mutations. Horizontal gene transfer: genetic exchange between different species: antibiotic resistance, mitochondria and chloroplast through endosymbiotic origins of eukaryotes. Tree of life: domains vs. kingdoms, why are domains a better representation of life: prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes. All organisms made of cells: simplest structure shared by all living organisms. All life comes from a single cell line. Linnaeus laid foundation for binomial nomenclature; genus species binomials. Hierarchies: cell, tissue, organs, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems. The complete genetic makeup of an organism. The complete complement of proteins that a cell or organism can make. Proteomes are encoded by genes = genome. Adaptation can be an organism"s adjustment to their environment: sun leaves vs. shade leaves. Metabolism: all the chemical reactions of life. Proposition based on previous observations or experimental studies. We may not have found the true explanation for a phenomenon.
