ENS222 - TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGY 2023 What is Phylogeny? - ANS-The ancestral relationships of organisms. the discipline of phylogenetics is concerned with identifying evolutionary lineages (clades). this is done by identifying shared derived phenotypic and/or genetic characteristics. What are "Derived characteristics"? - ANS-Characteristics that have evolved (i.e are different from the ancestral condition). Phyolgenetics is also known as.. - ANS-Cladistics. Def...

What are the properties of life? - correct answer *Cells and organization *Energy use and metabolism *Environmental response *Regulation and homeostasis *Growth and development *Reproduction *Biological evolution When was earth formed? - correct answer 4.55 billion years ago When did life on earth first appear? - correct answer 3.5 billion years ago What are the evolutionary mechanisms? - correct answer *Nonrandom mating *Migration *Genetic drift *Natural selection When does allopat...

Summary of the entire Functional Biology course (MBLS-107) as it is taught at Utrecht University in the first year of Molecular and Biophysical Life sciences.

Molecular & Cell Biology Questions With 100% Correct Answers Eukaryote - ANSWER- An organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane bound structure thats sets them apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleas or nuclear envelope within which the genetic material is carried. All species of large complex species are eukaryotes, including animals, plants and funghi. Euchromatin - ANSWER- This shows as pale areas in the nucleas under electro m...

Small Scale Evolution (population genetics) changes in allele frequency in a population from one generation to the next Large Scale Evolution (phylogenetics)- the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations Which 2 assumptions must be in place for natural selection to take place? 1. Naturally occurring genetic variation within a population (trait passed from one gen. to the next) 2. Variations in this trait lead to differential reproductive succe...
