Questions with Accurate Solutions
Describe the subunits of prokaryotic vs eukaryotic organisms
a. Prokaryotic-
b. Eukaryotic
prokaryotic- small 30s large 50s
Eukaryotic- smaller 40s
larger 60s
True or false: prokaryotes have a nucleus
False. They have a nucleoid.
Describe a mutation.
A change in nucleotide sequence of dna
During DNA replication
Characteristics of bacteria
has a peptidoglycan cell wall
prokaryotic
photosynthesis
recycle nutrients

Lack petidoglycan
Extreme environment
Characteristics of fungi
Relatively large
cell walls
, Multicellular- mold
unicellular- yeast
(look like bubble drop)
Characteristics of protozoa
eukaryotic
unicellular
lack a cell wall
Locomotion
Can cause disease
animal like in need/strucutre
Characteristics of algea
plant like
photosynthetic
CO2 food
H2o sun
Multi or unicellular
natural selection relating to resistant bacteria
Evolution by natural selection occurs when heritable variation leads to differential
rerpoductive success
- variation heritable
- overproduction of offspring where environment small
- unequal reproductive success
- Favorable traits accumulate
