| Questão | Responda |
| what is the main point behind the tree of life? | all organisms are related and share a common ancestry |
| what is the size of the mrca of all turtles? how do we know this? explain the evolution of gigantism | small medium, by the most parsimonious method we know turtle converged to have larger size on islands that select for that body type |
| list the non-monophyletic groups in the tree of life | archaea + bacteria- exclude eukaryotes, so they're paraphyletic |
| list the monophyletic groups in the tree of life | plant animals and fungi |
| list the functions of a phylogenetic tree | 1. allow us to trace history of evolutionary changes in orgs 2. common ancestors of morphologically similar orgs 3. help us predict similarities, differences |
| what does a tree tell us about lineage? | The lineage has diverged separating completely |
| define taxon (taxa) | any org or group at an unspecified level that we designate with a name. Can be species, domain, phyla. |
| speciation | one homologous group diverges into differing groups due to reproductive isolation |
| what are phlyo trees unable to show us? | -time it took for each taxa to speciate - exact time at which they diverged - sequence of divergence of sister taxa |
| why are the internal nodes of a tree not counted as taxa? | once the group diverges, that homologous group at the int. node no longer exists- speciated. |
| monophyletic groups | include MRCA and all descendant taxa |
| paraphyletic groups | include MRCA, exclude some of the descendant taxa |
| polyphyletic groups | include descendant taxa, but exclude their MRCA |
| how was it determined that the L. bicolor were separate species? | ancestral character state reconstruction or trait mapping determined these new relationships and taxanomic categories- they were fooled b/c they converged at the same time |
| bifurcating vs polytomic trees | 2 species diverge from one internal node vs 3+ species from one node |
| what do polytomies indicate about the tree? | there is uncertainty in the phylo relationships of those taxa- results from equally parsimonious trees |
| what do the # of internal nodes tell us about a tree? | the # of monophyletic groups in the tree - minus those mono groups made up by the terminal taxa |
| why were reptiles ever paraphyletic? | they excluded a group of desc.- birds |
| why are reptiles considered to be monophyletic now? | they include all the desc. groups including birds |
| why are bacteria and archaea non monophyletic? | exclude euks |
| what type of group are bacteria and archaea? | paraphyletic |
| what do clades have that other group types do not | synamorphies shared within group from common ancestor not shared with other groups |
| synapomorphies vs homologous traits | * synapomorphies are not present in the ancestral group. shared derived traits that distinguish one group from another vs same characteristics from the same common ancestor |
| when a trait evolves independently in 2+ separate groups or taxa | convergence or conv. evol. |
| is the 4 chamber heart of birds homologous or analogous with mammals? | it is analogous, this is because the trait independently evolved in birds and not seen in the mrca of the birds that it shares with the other taxa in its group |
| explain how a trait by looking at a tree would be homologous or homoplasious/ analogous | homo if present in the common ancestor of the two groups or taxa, if not then it is analogous/ homoplasious |
| homology vs homoplasy/ analogy | 1. similar characteristics, share common ancestor 2. similar characteristics, DO NOT share common ancestor |
| the main points in using phylo trees in conservation | identify hidden diversity, reveal major lienages and emphasize the older ancestral groups- overall you must conserve the greatest diversity of the lineage |
| how you can discern species name from names of higher groups | species names are binomial and all groups above species are unomial |
| why can't non-monophyletic groups be characterized? | they are historically artificial groups that cannot be characterized by synamorphies that arose in a common ancestor |
| how do you identify a sister group? | the group that diverged from a lineage at the same time as the other |
| what is the importance of sister groups | they're used to contrast between taxa with different traits |
| at what point does a derived trait appear on a tree? | when you start splitting up into the in groups |
| what kind of traits do the out groups share with the ancestor? | ancestral traits |
| what does a cladogram tell us | branching order: which taxa came along first |
| importance of a phylogram | branch length= amount of character change |
| importance of chronogram | branch length= how long taxa took to speciating |
| what must be true about traits to build a phylogenic tree | there must be variation= discrete traits |
| steps to estimating phylogeny | 1. look for varying traits and similar ones among organisms 2. then you assign codes to the character states 3. form a data matrix with these codes 4. look for similarities 5. find most parsimonious tree |
| what does an unrooted tree tell us | sequence of branching events and relationships but no temporal sequences |
| how many unrooted trees are possible for 4 taxa | 3 (3 different taxa can be adjacent to reference taxa) |
| how many different rooted trees are possible for a 4 taxa unrooted tree? | 5= the # of segments |
| which characters are the parsimony uninformative ones? | the traits that don't change or only change once which get scores 0 and 1 |
| which characters in a matrix are parsimony informative? | the ones that involve 2 possible changes or more |
| name a type of parsimony uninformative character | invariant characters |
| what type of group are unicellular eukaryotes? | non- monophyletic, paraphyletic |
| describe character state changes at the molecular level. How long does this take? | nucleotide substitution at different dna sites that occur over generations at the population level |

| in the example of the Linanthus phlox flowers, which trait evolved? how many times | self-compatibility, can self fertilize. evolved 3 times. |
| what is character conflict on a tree? | when there are different characters that only experience 1 change on diff trees : char. 1&3 on one tree and 2 on another- the same characters on 2 diff trees have diff #s of changes |
| what is a model based approach for tree building | taking into account the probability of rates of change for diff nucleotide subs |
| what types of nucleotide subs can occur | transitions: C<->T, A<->G and transversions: A<->C, G<->T, C<->G, A<-> T |
| which is more likely between transitions and transversions? | transitions- therefore they hold less weight when they differ slightly |
| how do trees with close to the same # of transitions compare | they are approximately as likely since it is common- transversions are taken into account more |
| T or F: a tree with a transversion may have a higher likelihood. | yes b/c they are rare-- but why though?! |
| how can we use models to find the ML tree? | relative frequencies of transition rates vs transversion rates |
| list several ways to find likelihood of trees in a model based approach | 1. freq of transitions vs transversion rates 2. synonymous and non syn 3. subs at different codons |

| in the case of the linanthus phlox flowers, which trait evolved by convergent evolution? | self compatibility converged |
| how many times did tortoises evolve gigantism | twice: convergent evolution- b/c these separate taxa both got that same trait and evolved at the same time |
| why were the L. bicolor flowers of the phlox family thought to be the same species? | they had similar morphology but through a phylo tree they realized they are different- by reduced petal size |
| is large size in tortoises analogous or homologous? | analogous- arose from convergence |
| are the L. bicolor traits analogous or homologous? | analogous |
| why do we compare sister taxa to find why one group has more species than another? | we use time as a control b/c we know they speciated at the same time from the same lineage so we can look at other factors such as ecology and behavioral |

| what type of tree is used for biogeography in phylogenetics? ex in horse study | chronogram: tells us how long ago taxa have bee speciated |
| how do we find out when an event occured on a tree? | use dna and use # of mutations as indicator of time (mutation rate) as a molecular clock, and calibrate that clock with other data like a fossil |

| brown algae and oomycetes | brown algae multicellular marine exclusive oomycetes multcellular non photsynth, absorptive heterotrophs |
| irish potato famine and sudden oak death | oomycetes did it |
| feature of unikont clade | single flagella |
| amoebozoan groups locomotion/ feeding | loboseans, slime molds pseudopods phagocytosis or parastism |
| plasmodial slime modes | mitosis and no cytokinesis: single cells form multinucleate plasmodium feeds by phago forms fruiting bodys to repro |
| cellular slime molds | indiv. cells eat by phago and form multicellular fruiting bodies |
| slime mold life cycles | sexual: single. aggregate, fruiting body, spores released, start over sexual: zygote from agreggation, karygamy, zygote -meiosis - amoeba born |
| hypothesis for virus origins? | ? |
| sexual reproduction | 2 steps: haploid gametes fuse to form diploid zygote and diploid zygote undergoes meiosis making haploid gametes |
| sexual reproduction steps | diploid zygote- meiosis- haploid gametes- syngamy- fusion of gametes- forms zygote |
| multicellular orgs repro cycles: which is multicellular? | haploid stage diploid or both |
| 3 variations of reprod cycle: | diplontic haplontic and alt of generations |
| diplontic life cycle | expansion of diploid phase, gametes are the only haploid cells |
| haplontic life cycle | expanded haploid phase only diploid cell is zygote |
| alternation of generations | A diploid spore-forming organism gives rise to a haploid gamete-forming organism ! When haploid gametes fuse a diploid zygote is formed. ! Both stages multicellular and undergo mitosis, meiosis forms spores H |
| evidence of endosymb in mitochondria and chloroplasts | membrane components more like that of bacteria than of other euks morph resembles bacteria contain own genomes components resemble bacterias |
| do all euks have mitochondria? | most- not all, diplomonads |
| how we know mitochondria came from endosymbiosis | pcr and phylogenetic analysis of dna in mitochondria linked it single endosym event with a proteobacterium |
| conclusions of mitochondria phylo analysis | 1 endosym with proteobacterium, mitochondria presence is a homologous trait in euks, derived trait- not present before endosymb |
| ancestral and derived features of euks | ancestral: cell wall membrane dna derived: cytoskeleton cell wall lost membrane bound dna phagocytosis |
| mitochondria endosymbiosis type | primary endosymbiosis - proteobacteria in cell |
| method to find origin of chloroplasts | phylo analysis of dna plastids in genomes traced plastids that derived from endosymb event with cyanobacterium |
| primary symbiosis of chloroplasts | three genomes in one cells: host mitochon and chlroplast phagocytosis then double membrane |
| why chloroplasts are scattered about | endosymb of chloroplasts happened in the plantae ancestor only- those who formed endosymbiotic relationship with this group got it |
| secondary symbiosis gave rise to | euk host cells with plant symbionts with chloroplasts |
| which plantae was the endosymbiont leading to chloroplasts | euglenid |
| primary vs secondary endosymbiosis | 1. bacteria engulfed for mitochondria or chloroplasts 2. a eukaryotic symbiont is engulfed and already contains chloroplast/ mito |
| results of secondary endosymbiosis | diatoms-red algae apicomplexans, dinoflag and amoebozoans |
| # of nuclei present in tertiary endosymbiosis | 3 (host, symbiont w/ own nuc + that of cyanobacterium)- photosynth euk symbiont engulfed by nucleus having host |
| tertiary endosymbiosis resulted in... | photosynthetic properties of dinoflaggs and brown algae |
| transitions vs transversions: which requires the fewest steps? | transitions are generally more common than transversions B. if the character in the tree undergoes the minimum amount of change it will involve a transversion C. if the character in the tree undergoes multiple changes it could involve both transitions and transversions E. the character exhibits homoplasy on this tree |
| cladogram relationships | closer within immediate clade than with outgroup |
| Viruses to survive they must be able to do 3 things o Get into a susceptible host. Attachment to host cell membrane. Not in plant, fungal and bacterial viruses. Penetration of host cell membrane: endocytosis, mechanical penetration with plant and fungal viruses. Inject genome with some bacterial viruses o Must be able to replicate and make more virus. Uncoating. Replication. Self-assembly of virus particles o Most have some mechanism to move the newly made viruses to new susceptible host. | Viruses to survive they must be able to do 3 things o Get into a susceptible host.

| Primary: symbiosis between a cell that engulfed either a mitochondria or a chloroplast. Should have 3 genomes, if you count organelles (1) and nuclear DNA separately (2), in the end (one nuclear genome, one mitochondrial genome, one chloroplast genome) * Secondary: engulfing one cell/organism that has a chloroplast/mitochondria from primary endosymbiosis. Should have 5 genomes, if you count organelles and nuclear DNA separately, in the end (3 from primary + 1 nuclear genome + 1 mitochondrial genome) * Tertiary: engulfing an organism that is already secondary endosymbiont. Thus, acquiring their mitochondria and/or chloroplasts. Should have 7 genomes, if you count organelles and nuclear DNA separately, in the end (5 from secondary + 1 mitochondrial and 1 nuclear genome) | Primary: symbiosis between a cell that engulfed either a mitochondria or a chloroplast.
