Concept explainers
To explain:
DNA sequence data for diplomonad, euglenozoan, a plant and an unidentified protist suggest that the unidentified species is mostly closely related to the diplomonad. Further studies reveal that the unknown species has fully functional mitochondria. Based on these data, at what point on the Phylogenetic tree given in Figure 25.9 “Exploring Eukaryotic Diversity”, in the textbook, did the mystery protists lineage probably diverge from other eukaryotic lineages.
Introduction:
The diplomonads are the group of flagella containing organisms and are mostly

Earlier Laterarrow_forwardMolecular fossils further indicate the presence of ciliates and dinoflagellates in the emerging eukaryotic world and show that algae were expanding to become major photosynthesizers in the oceans. How can we explain this diversification?arrow_forward
- Endosymbioses that lead to the evolution of euglenoids and, separately, the evolution of chlorarachniophytes were the result of the combining of: a. two ancestral nonphotosynthetic prokaryotes. b. two ancestral photosynthetic prokaryotes. c. a nonphotosynthetic eukaryote with a photosyntheticeukaryote. d. a photosynthetic prokaryote with a nonphotosyntheticeukaryote. e. mitochondria with an already established plastid.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forwardWhat are one of the main traits that make bacteria and archae unique in comparison to protists, fungi, amáinala and plants? - they have RNA -fungi have chitin - they are single called organismos that do not have membrane bound organelles or bucked - they diverged 3 billion years ago from each other - they have glycolysisarrow_forward
- Redraw the phylogeny of eukaryotes, expanded to show different members (e.g. dinoflagellates, diatoms) of the supergroups as necessary and indicate the location of the primary endosymbioses for mitochondria and chlorophyll on the phylogeny.
