Document Summary

Understand the major differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Absent but similar structure occurs in 1 group. Understand the similarities and differences between lgt and sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. Lgt : horizontal gene transfer; transfer of genetic material among related. Similarities to sexual reproduction : create new genetic combinations. Differences from sexual reproduction: lgt involves only a part of a genome (plasmids), often not linked to reproduction, has multiple mechanisms (transformation, conjugation, transduction), and can occur across large phylogenetic distances (species domains) Phylogenetic reconstruction: still asexual reproduction, makes it difficult to create phylogenetic trees because bacteria take in genes that it did not originally have. It makes it seem like two species are more closely related when they actually are not (if studies are based on genes that were involved in lgt). Convergent evolution: lgt character changes are physically transferred between groups and not like an independently evolved trait in convergent evolution.
