Chapter 25, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Cells are an important component of any organism. The first level of organization in any species is the cell. There are multiple types of cells present in every different organism. The evolution of cells resulted in the development of various cell organelles and the different hierarchal levels of cells depending upon their complexity.

- Which of the following statements is correct? Please select all that apply. Select one or more: a. Parasitism between bacteria and archaea caused complex interactions that eventually gave rise to eukarya. b. While bacteria are prokaryotes, archaea are neither prokaryotic, nor eukaryotic but classified as a 3rd cell type. c. Prokaryotes are classified further based on whether they are unicellular or multicellular organisms. d. The molecular biologies of archaea and eukarya show a greater proportion of similarities than those of eukarya and bacteria. e. Prokaryotes could not make photosynthesis until chloroplast endosymbiosis evolution. f. The last universal common ancestor most likely had a primitive prokaryotic cell organization. g.

- Evolutionary microbiologists developed a theory about a common ancestor for all eukaryotic cells. Below is a model of the theorized changes during the origin of eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes are not capable of phagocytosis, or engulfing outside particles by creating a pocket in the cell membrane. Which of the following changes in early prokaryotes could be predicted to result in the emergence of eukaryotic organisms? A - the development of genetic transfer mechanisms in prokaryotes B - the evolution of predatory or parasitic relationships in prokaryotes C - the emergence of collections of cells functioning together in prokaryotes D = the expansion of internal structures to support larger individual cells in prokaryotesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are TRUE about organisms in the Domain Bacteria? I. Consist of bacteria and cyanobacteria II. Some are photoautotrophs III. Genetic material is a single stranded DNA IV. Organelles are not presentarrow_forwardWhich of the following contribute(s) to the differences between the Archaea and the bacteria? O A. Archaea lack muramic acid. O B. Archaea have isopranyl glycerol ethers rather than fatty acid esters in their membrane lipids. O C. Archaea differ from bacteria in their tRNA composition, ribosome structure, antibiotic sensitivity, translation elongation factors, initiator TRNA, and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase structure. O D. all of thesearrow_forward
- The flow of information in the cell is unidirection for all most all organisms (DNA-->RNA-->Protein), however one life form is able to work in reverse (RNA-->DNA). This organism is a Select one: O a. Cyanobacteria O b. Archaea O c. Eukaryotic organism d. Proteobacteria e. None of the abovearrow_forwardAfter the glacial retreat at the end of the last ice age, some three-spine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were isolated in small lakes. A mutation occurred in these fish that resulted in the loss of pelvic spines. Today, all freshwater sticklebacks lack pelvic spines, but are still classified as members of the same species as marine sticklebacks. Scientists collected sticklebacks from both marine and freshwater environments and placed them together in a controlled environment. Which of the following statements describes the effect of the mutation on their ability to interbreed? They should be able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. They will not be able to interbreed and produce offspring because of hybrid breakdown. They will not be able to interbreed and produce offspring because of mechanical isolation. They should be able to interbreed and produce offspring, but the offspring may experience reduced hybrid fertility.arrow_forward19) Which of the trees in this figure groups the domains according to similarities in cellular size and architecture?
