Document Summary

Review/study questions for exam #2 up through prokaryotes- lecture 15: strict adherence to cladistic analysis might lead scientists to discard using the taxa. Homologous traits: traits that are passed down from a parent to offspring. Ancestral traits(convergent traits): traits that occur in species but are from different origins: provide a definition of life, and indicate ways you might consider viruses to be living vs. non-living. Viruses are nonliving because they must use cellular organism to function: organisms use dna to store information, and proteins to do the work of cells. Photosynthesis was advantageous for life in general because it allowed aerobic respiration to occur. However, before the oxygen revolution, anaerobic respiration was much more common so the anaerobic organisms died (major extinction: compare and contrast the mechanisms of microevolution with processes of macroevolution. Microevolution: the change within an individual species overtime. Gradualism is the study of how patterns change overtime, over a slow and constant change.
