Question 1. What two things do nodes represent on phylogenies? Nodes represent the most recent common ancestor of two or more descendant lineages and represent a speciation event. Question 2. Compare the branching patterns of phylogenies 1-3 above. Which statement below correctly describes the patterns among trees 1-3? Tree 1 = Tree 2 Question 3. Which node represents the MRCA for taxa F and G? 3 Question 4. Which taxon or taxa is/are the sister group to E + F? D, G, H Question 5. If y...

Bis 2C, Pre-Lab #2 Bacteria and Archaea are often collectively referred to as prokaryotes because they lack a nucleus (pro=before, karyon=nucleus). But, as you can see from figure 2.1, they are not each other’s closest relatives. Because bacteria and archaea are so diverse, they can be difficult to characterize. However, when compared to eukaryotes, they have significant differences in their general biology including, reproduction, organization of genetic material, and a lack of membrane...

Microbe CORRECT ANSWER -Free living organisms so small that they are only visible under the microscope. -Viruses are not really microbes- they lack one key quality of living cells; the capacity to main their bodily integrity throughout their life cycle. -Exceptions: Epulopiscium fishelsoni is huge (600+ um), Mycobacterium leprae is not free living. -Bacteria, Archaea, Fungi, Protists.

Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) CORRECT ANSWER Was a microbe of unknown type that lived about 4 billion years ago; the origin of all organisms. What is 16s small unit rRNA used for? CORRECT ANSWER It's used to study construct phylogenetic trees of organisms because it's highly conserved and hasn't changed much over time. Antonie von Leeuwenhoek CORRECT ANSWER Father of microscopy in 1620 Increased surface area like folded membranes CORRECT ANSWER How do larger cells maximize di...
