A photosynthetic cyanobacterium

Which of the following is an advantage of multicellularity?

It fostered the specialization of cells.

What evidence supports the hypothesis that mitosis and cytokinesis did not evolve all at once?

Different, or possibly intermediate mechanisms of mitosis are observed in fungi and in some groups of protist compared to animals and plants.

Protists are alike in that all are

Eukaryotic

Which of the following are used by protists to locomote in their watery environments?

Flagella Cilia

Choose the three groups of protists that have true, if simple, multicellularity.

Green algae Brown algae Red algae

Which of the following is NOT matched correctly regarding the type of endosymbiosis that lead to the acquisition of chloroplasts in algae?

Green algae: secondary endosymbiosis

Which of the following is the primary benefit of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes?

It allows for genetic recombination, thereby generating genetic variation.

Select all lines of evidence that support the endosymbiotic theory.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA. Mitochondria and chloroplasts divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have smaller ribosomes than eukaryotes

A mixotroph uses which of the following means to obtain nutrition?

Photoautotrophy and heterotrophy

Which of the following statements about the origin of chloroplasts in red, green and brown algae are true?

Red algae acquired their chloroplasts through primary endosymbiosis. Green algae acquired their chloroplasts through primary endosymbiosis. Brown algae acquired their chloroplasts through secondary endosymbiosis.
