Describe the hierarchical organization of life. How does this organiza-tion lead to the emergence of new properties at different levels of bio-logical complexity?
Explain the phrase: “life’s dual nature of unity and diversity”. Explain how evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of living things.
List one similarity and one difference between the groups
listed below. It is not acceptable to use membership (or the
lack thereof) in a particular taxon as an answer. If a term
appears in parentheses below the pair, both your answers
must be related to that term (e.g. if the term says "structure"
your answer must relate to anatomy).

Studies of Lokiarchaeota help to elucidate these relationships, but the first universal tree of life was constructed by Carl Woese using ribosomal RNA sequences. There are advantages to using different types of nucleic acid for different types of analyses. What is a specific advantage of using small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences for phylogenetic analysis compared with DNA sequences? ▸ View Available Hint(s) SSU rRNA sequences accumulate mutations more rapidly than protein-encoding DNA. SSU rRNA is frequently transferred through horizontal gene transfer, whereas DNA sequences are not. Primers are required in DNA sequence analysis, but not for SSU rRNA sequence analysis. Although PCR products can be visualized with SSU rRNA, this is not the case with other forms of nucleic acids. DNA sequences are too highly conserved to work well for sequence analysis; individual species are…arrow_forwardDescribe the three domains and argue for and against classifying organisms in these domains.

There are three domains of life - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Start by drawing these three main branches. Then add branches for plants, animals, fungi, and protists. When adding all these branches, don't just add them randomly. The branching pattern reflects evolutionary relationships. You should use the relationships/branching patterns. Then add additional branches for • three species of bacteria • three species of archaea three species of plants three species of animals • three species of fungi • three species of protists (single-celled eukaryotes) You can pick any species you want. For each species, be sure to add 1 synapomorphy (shared derived character) that defines the species or group. • Finally, label the tree with all the terms (parts of a tree, not phylogenetic groups) when describing a phylogenetic tree.arrow_forwardPlace these levels of classification in order from least inclusive to most inclusive: class, domain, family, genus, kingdom, order, phylum, species.arrow_forward
