Contrast the field of systematics with that of taxonomy and phylogenetics. How is systematics defined? How is taxonomy and phylogenetics similar or different from systematics? How did the systematic placement of Calostoma change our understanding of this taxon, in regards to the study Phylogeny of Calostoma, the gelatinous-stalked puffball, based on nuclear and mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences by Hughey and colleagues?

Prokaryotic evolution

The term evolution means the gradual change or a transformation from a simple or primitive state to a complex or advanced state. Prokaryotic evolution is a concept that involves the evolution of the form and function of most primitive organisms (prokaryotes) through several stages and changes to form diverse life as a part of organic evolution.
