This chapter shows a phylogenetic tree for the three domains of life, which is based on DNA sequence data for rRNA and other genes. Which of the following answers concerning the phylogenetic relationships found within this tree is incorrect?
View Available Hint(s)for Part A
Euryarcheotes are found in the Archaea
Diatoms, Tubulinids, and Euglenozoans belong to the domain Eukarya
Forams, Fungi, and Chlamydias belong to the domain Eukarya.
Spirochetes belong to the domain Bacteria
Ciliates, Red Algae, and Plants belong to the domain Eukarya.
Which of the following statements about eukaryotes is correct?
-
Eukaryotes are life forms that possess a nucleus in the cells.
-
Some cellular features, such as endoplasmic reticulum, is uniquely eukaryotic and is not shared with either bacteria or archaea.
-
It has been hypothesized that the first eukaryotic cell is a chimera between a bacterium and an archaeon.
-
During phylogenetic reconstruction, it is often found that eukaryotic genes that are responsible for information processing are more closely related to corresponding archaeal genes than to bacterial genes.
-
All of the above
An endosymbiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another
organism. Each would have performed mutually benefiting functions from their
symbirie relationship. Why are the mitochondria considered an endosybiont in an
eukaryotic cell ?
They have two membranes
have DNA sequences that indicate origin from the alpha- prroteobacteria
has a means for using oxygen and create ATP
can break down glucose for energy
O They contain hydrolytic enzymes

- After 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_forwardBacteria that cause the disease typhus arc close relatives of bacteria that evolved into __________. a. protists b. protocells c. chioroplasts d. mitochondriaarrow_forwardA) A major difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells Group of answer choices exhibit little if any compartmentalization of function are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells have a large degree of internal organization lack organelles have little if any internal organization B) Which of the following statements about protists is false?
