BIO 370 Exam 3 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ALREADY PASSED
systemics - ANS ✔✔naming and classifying species
taxonomy - ANS ✔✔naming things
phylogenetics - ANS ✔✔study of evolutionary relationships among organisms
phenetic - ANS ✔✔grouping like with like
sister species - ANS ✔✔species derived from the same most recent common ancestor
monophyly - ANS ✔✔descendants from a single common ancestor
paraphyly - ANS ✔✔group that includes SOME but NOT ALL descendants of a most recent
common ancestor
polyphyly - ANS ✔✔group that does NOT share a most recent common ancestor
plesiomorphy - ANS ✔✔ancestral homology
symplesiomorphy - ANS ✔✔SHARED ancestral homology; uninformative shared traits
apomorphy - ANS ✔✔derived homology
, autapomorhy - ANS ✔✔derived in SINGLE lineage
synapomorphy - ANS ✔✔derives in SERIES of lineages; shared derived traits that are informative
cladistics - ANS ✔✔organisms grouped together based on if they have one or more shared
unique characteristics from group's last common ancestor
hemagglutinin - ANS ✔✔responsible for binding to host cells- predominant coat protein
antegenic sites - ANS ✔✔specific parts of the protein that is recognized and remembered by the
immune system
directed evolution - ANS ✔✔using evolutionary processes to engineer new molecules, proteins,
or organisms for a particular use
irrational design - ANS ✔✔approach that relies on selection to achieve outcome
rational design - ANS ✔✔engineering a new function based on knowledge of how the molecule
works
neutral theory - ANS ✔✔vast majority of mutations are neutral with respect to fitness; genetic
drift dominates evolution at level of DNA sequence
genetic distance - ANS ✔✔measure of genetic divergence b/w species or b/w populations
within a species - indicates they are closely related and share a common ancestor
coding sequences - ANS ✔✔encode protein sequences; tRNA, rRNA and proteins
