Document Summary
List the major transitions in the evolution of life on earth: page 408, describe the three processes that occur during these transitions. Organisms develop new and increasingly efficient ways to acquire, process, transmit, and store information. List the steps of a major transition and give an example of how it would be difficult to reverse. Individual replicators band together to form a new, high-level individual which then can replicate more effectively. Elaborate on a practical reason for studying endosymbiosis in eukaryotes: secondary: when a eukaryotic organism is engulfed by a host cell, explains the diversity in eukaryotes, the apicoplast is part of the apicomplexan in plasmodium that causes malaria. Treatment for this should target protein production by the apicoplast. 12. 3 major transition: the evolution of multicellularity: summarize the benefits gained by dictyostelium when in the slug form compared to the individual amoeba form. In group foraging in chimps and bees, both organisms use cooperation and communication to increase food intake.
