Concept explainers
To draw: The phylogenetic tree consisting of the several types of the protists, plants, algae, and the
Concept introduction: The phylogenetic tree alignment of the supergroup species of the protists, plants, and the algae consists of the placement of the species in the various groups. The branches represent the starting of the trees, roots, and the phylogenetic diversity and the distance of each species present in the group.
The broad spectrum of the antibiotic drugs is used for combating and controlling the infection caused by the growth and infection of various pathogenic strains of fungi, plants, prokaryotic bacteria, and small microbes. The ribosomal RNA sequence analysis of the genome is analyzed based on the homology and the similarity in the sequences present in the genome.
Given data: The given data include the names of the various protists in groups like the Excavata, SAR, Archaeplastida, Unikonta, amoebozoans, animals, choanoflagellates, fungi, and Nucleariida species.

- VISUALIZE Draw a simple sketch illustrating the way in which aerobic bacteria are hypothesized to have become incorporated into an original prokaryotic host cell.arrow_forward"What are one of the main traits that make bacteria and archaea unique in comparison to protists, fungi, animals, and plants?" They have RNA Fungi have chitin They are single celled organisms that do not have membrane bound organelles or nucleus. O They diverged 3 billion years ago from each other O They have glycolysisarrow_forwardSix Kingdoms of Life Chart Practice Name: Kingdom Type of Cells Number of Cells How it Obtains Reproduction Food Asexual by binary fission, budding or fragmentation.

Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus. Autotroph means it can make its own food. Heterotroph means it must obtain nutrients from another organism. Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, and the offspring are genetically identical to that parent. Sexual reproduction involves two parents,…arrow_forward
- Which of the following statement(s) or feature(s) apply to Amoeba proteus? Sclect 3 comect answaits Eukaryote Possess a nucleus Unicellular organism Can do photosynthesis Multicellular organism Prokaryote Bacteriaarrow_forward. Single-celled organisms with a true nucleus, ester-linked fatty acids in their G-3-P cell membranes, and histones, but no collagen, and no cell walls composed of either chitin or cellulose, must be: members of kingdom Archaeobacteria members of kingdom Protista members of kingdom Eubacteria members of kingdom Fungi members of kingdom Animaliaarrow_forward1. How do members of Eukarya differ from the prokaryotic groups of Chp 26 (your text lists 4 major differences)? Do these differences represent a greater success and superiority of eukaryotic over prokaryotic cells? 2. Examine Figure 27.1 from your text. How does this phylogenetic tree show that "Protists" are paraphyletic? Hint: think about what the term "paraphyletic" means in your answer.. 3. Describe at least two impacts that protists have on humans and two ecological importance's protists have on the planet. 4. What is direct sequencing and how has it been used to discover new lineages in the eukaryotic group? Be specific! 5. What is the endosymbiosis theory and what are thought to have been the three main steps in the theory? What are thought to have been the two main steps in the nucleus formation? • Previous Next MacBook Pro G Search or type URL 23 %24 &arrow_forward
- DNA sequence data for a diplomonad, a euglenid, a plant, and an unidentified protist suggest that the unidentified species is most 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 in Figure 1 did the mystery protist’s lineage probably diverge from other eukaryote lineages? Explain.arrow_forwardThis 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are lines of evidence for endosymbiosis? Inner membranes are similar to plasma membranes of prokaryotes O DNA structure in chloroplasts and mitochondria are similar to that of prokaryotes Mitochondrial ribosomes are more similar to prokaryotic than eukaryotic ribosomes O The DNA found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell is very similar to that of prokaryotes.arrow_forward
- Evidence indicating the chloroplasts were originally free-living prokaryotes that subsequently evolved a symbiotic relationship with a eukaryotic host includes all of the following except: Ability of chloroplasts to synthesize all their own proteins Presence of circular DNA in chloroplasts and in free-living prokaryotes Similarities of rRNA sequences between chloroplasts and free-living prokaryotes Similarities of structures between chloroplasts and some contemporary free-living prokaryotes Carrow_forwardDRAW IT Recent evidence indicates that the root ofthe eukaryotic tree may lie between a clade that includesunikonts and excavates, and all other eukaryotes. Drawthe tree suggested by this result.arrow_forwardWhich synapomorphy would most correctly complete this phylogenetic tree?
