To draw : A phylogenetic tree of seed plants depicting the relationship between Elkinsia , gymnosperms, and the angiosperms . Concept introduction : The first evidence of seed plant comes from 360 million-year-old fossils of plants in the genus Elkinsia . Elkinsia is a group of extinct gymnosperms. It lived 55 million years before the first fossil was classified as gymnosperms. The early seed plants became extinct, and there is no information about the lineage that gave rise to the gymnosperms. The early gymnosperms lived in the Carboniferous Period. In the Permian period, the gymnosperms replaced the lycophytes and ferns. In the late Mesozoic era, the angiosperms started to replace the gymnosperms.

Summary Introduction

To draw: A phylogenetic tree of seed plants depicting the relationship between Elkinsia, gymnosperms, and the angiosperms.

Concept introduction: The first evidence of seed plant comes from 360 million-year-old fossils of plants in the genus Elkinsia. Elkinsia is a group of extinct gymnosperms. It lived 55 million years before the first fossil was classified as gymnosperms.

The early seed plants became extinct, and there is no information about the lineage that gave rise to the gymnosperms. The early gymnosperms lived in the Carboniferous Period. In the Permian period, the gymnosperms replaced the lycophytes and ferns. In the late Mesozoic era, the angiosperms started to replace the gymnosperms.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
