Document Summary
3 domains of life: archaea, bacteria, eukarya. Can be single or multi cellular with different size and shape. Cells need enough sa to be able to allow things in and out. 3mm; 180millions bp; useful for its large offspring, short life cycle, simple body plan making it easy to visualize genotypes; some cells have giant chromosomes to study genome organization: caenorhabditis elegans: nematode. Only about 1000 cells and transparent body making it great to study apoptosis (cell death) and nervous system: saccharomyces cerevisiae: bakers yeast. Has 200 homologous genes to humans so they are used to study disease and infection as well as cancer: arabidopsis thaliana: thale crest humans, mus musculus: mouse. Considered the model plant and also shares many homologous genes with. [type text: common features shared by all cells. Then over time this cell engulfed either oxygen metabolizing prokaryotic cell or a photosynthesizing prokaryote, which formed what we know as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
