Textbook Question
Chapter 28.6, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø The bacterium Wolbachia is a symbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidly through mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchers are seeking a strain that confers resistance and does not harm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes that could occur if malaria control is attempted using such a Wolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes. (Review Figure 28.16 and Concept 23.4.)

Wolbachia is a genus of bacteria that infect cells of invertebrates. Surveys have found that up to a
fifth of insect species have at least some individuals infected with Wolbachia. Pathogen or
parasite? This endosymbiont (a symbiont that lives inside its host) bacteria can have many effects
on its host, including killing offspring and changing the sex of offspring.
Ary Hoffmann from the University of Melbourne in Australia, Michael Turelli from the University of
California at Davis, and their associates have been studying Wolbachia infections in populations of
Drosophila simulans from California. From the initial infection around 1980, Wolbachia infection
spread northward across the state during the 1980s and 1990s. The most striking manifestation of
infection in this fly species is cytoplasmic incompatibility: offspring produced in crosses where
males are infected and the females are uninfected tend to die early in development. In crosses
between infected males and infected females,…
According to Lynn Margulis's theory of endosymbiosis, bacteria entered large cells either as parasites or as undigested prey as
illustrated. All the following are proof that mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from bacteria, except:

1. In this figure you can see a phylogenetic tree of samples of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis lineage 2 and a corresponding root-to-tip plot. The branch
lengths in the tree are scaled by evolutionary/genetic distance, so not by time.
In the plot on the right, the summed branch lengths going from the root to the
tips of the trees are then plotted against the dates the tips were sampled.
What can we conclude from these figures?
