Spore-forming animal parasites Apical complex is a unique arrangement of organelles at one end of the cell which enables the cell to invade its host. Plasmodium causes malaria. Symptoms include chills and fever usually in late afternoon. Complex life cycle - sexual, asexual, different hosts. Eradication focused on eliminating mosquito vector, drug development, vaccines.

The host cells have the correct surface receptor that the virus can fit into.

Why do viruses only infect specific types of cells? Viruses infect the first cells they encounter. If a host cell is weakened, viruses have an easier time infecting it. The host cells have the correct surface receptor that the virus can fit into. Viruses only attack epithelial cells, such as the cells lining the lungs. The initial choice is random but once a cell type is chosen it becomes the preferred host.

Derived character.

Domains.

Eukarya, Archaea (small, single celled, cell wall, no nucleus, can live in extreme conditions) , Bacteria (greatest # niches) Kingdoms of Plantae, Fungi, Animalia and Protista are all in the Eukarya Domain - What are the main derived characters (synapomorphy) that differentiates these kingdoms? Consider: The traits that all 3 domains have in common are hypothesized to be the result of all 3 domains evolving from a common prokaryotic ancestor.

Protists

Kingdom includes all eukaryotes (such as protozoa, some algae, water molds, slime molds, etc) except green plants, animals and fungi (allows them to be classified into one kingdom)....most diverse of four eukaryotic kingdoms, not monophyletic ( means that all protists are not more closely related to each other than they are to some other kinds of organisms); majority reproduce asexually most of the time, but under stress conditions will reproduce sexually. Most are small (microscopic) but some are huge (100 meters). Note: Some algae are not considered plants because they lack plant structures such as roots and placed among Protists. Green algae are now grouped with plants.

Virus Classification by genome structure and Core (table 21.1).

being capable of independent reproduction.

Viruses are characterized by all of the following except being found in every organism investigated so far. being specific to the hosts they infect. being capable of independent reproduction. being acellular.

Cladogram.

a graphical representation of possible evolutionary relationships, based on polarization of characters, in which taxa are placed at the tips, not at the branch points, of the phylogenetic tree and shared, derived characteristics common to taxa above the branch point are placed at the branch point. Helps with the studies in evolution, ecology, biogeography and even forensics. Consider: Steps to construct a cladogram would be - 1. gather data on characters to be used, 2. establish the character states (teeth), 3. polarize the characters (ancestral or derived) 4. select an outgroup (closely related to but not a member) 5. apply principle of parsimony (hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions)

Clade

Virus structure (smaller than bacteria)

capsid, nucleic acid core, envelope, spike measured in the nm range Consider: Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not themselves possess a cell. They are, essentially, chemical complexes of RNA or DNA protected by protein. A virus particle (outside host) can also be referred to as a virion.

Virulent virus

causes lysis of their hosts (lytic); Consider: (Refer to illustration below) A virulent virus is one that infects the host cell and enters into the lytic stage causing replication of virus and lysis of the host cell to release these produced viruses. A temperate virus is one that can incorporate its genome into the host cell's genome and remain dormant, only reproducing as the host cell reproduces itself (lysogenic stage). But the virus genome can become activated and it can enter a lytic stage.

Prokaryotes differing from eukaryotes

cell size, multicellularity, chromosomes, organelles, reproduction Note: Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes both have ribosomes.

Ancestral characteristics

characteristics that have arisen in organisms as a result of common evolutionary descent

Cyanobacteria

group of bacteria that produced oxygen and changed the Earth's atmosphere from an anoxic one to one rich in oxygen

Prokaryote structure (bacteria)

have cell walls consisting of a network of polysaccharides connected by cross links of polypeptides (peptidoglycan) flagella - used for movement have enzymes used for cellular respiration attached to cell membrane have 3 shapes (due to cell walls): bacillus, coccus, and spirillum can form biofilms

Retrovirus

have the enzyme reverse transcriptase high error rate of reverse transcriptase leads to high genetic diversity of HIV; this in turn creates difficulty in creation of vaccine direction of genetic information transfer in a retrovirus (such as HIV) is RNA to DNA to mRNA to protein

Lytic cycle

Homoplasy

in cladistics, a shared character state that has not been inherited from a common ancestor exhibiting that state; may result from convergent evolution or evolutionary reversal. The wings of birds and of bats, which are convergent

Symplesiomorphy

in cladistics, another term for a shared ancestral/primitive or outgroup character state (I remember this by saying the primitive trait is the most symplesiomorphy)

Plesiomorphy

in cladistics, another term for an ancestral character state

Nucleic acid core

inner most portion is made of DNA or RNA

Lysogenic cycle

integration and stabilizing of viral genes into the host cell's genome

Exchange of genetic material via horizontal transfer

occurs through conjugation (depends on presence of conjugative plasmids when genes are transferred through rigid, tubular sex pili), transduction (occurs when viruses (bacteriophage) package host DNA and transfer it upon subsequent infection), transformation (bacterial cells pick up free pieces of DNA from the medium-pieces that were released from dead bacteria), and exchange of R plasmids (plasmids are different from bacterial chromosomes in that plasmids have few genes, bacterial chromosome have many) increases genetic diversity; helps infer phylogeny; common occurrence in bacteria; can produce large genetic change

Obligate anaerobe

organisms poisoned by oxygen

the concept that defines species on the basis of their phylogenetic relationships

Phylogeny.

the evolutionary history of an organism, including which species are closely related and in what order related species evolved; often represented in the form or an evolutionary tree that are constructed based on morphological analysis, DNA sequences, and geographical information Consider: Phylogenetically based taxonomy helps us learn about traits in organisms using information in related species. These traits can also include physiology, development, and behavior.

Sister group

the group that is genealogically most closely related to the ingroup, and included for comparative purposes; we can conclude that species D is more closely related to species E than it is to species A.

Viroids

they are tiny, naked molecules of RNA a few hundred nucleotides long whose sequence resembles intron sequences in rRNA genes; they are causative agents of plant diseases

Endospores

thick-walled structures that contain chromosome and small amount of cytoplasm...these are formed in response to environmental stress (e.g., low nutrients)

Nitrogen fixation and use

this pathway begins with atmospheric nitrogen ( Dinitrogen; unusable by plants in this form because of strength of N-N triple bond), bacterial nitrogenase(enzyme that catalyzes the reactions); ammonia; conversion by plants or algae; synthesis of proteins

Horizontal gene transfer

transfer of genes between different species, both prokaryotic or eukaryotic

Emerging virus

virus in a new host with a potential lethality rate in excess of 50%; example is Ebola virus; these viruses are able to jump from one species to another; hantavirus originates in deer mice and causes hemorrhagic-type fever; SARS is completely new form of corona virus

Latent virus

virus is able to hide from host's immune system by integrating itself into the host cell's genome and not producing new viruses...e.g., chickenpox may be followed, years later, with shingles with both the result of the same viral infection.
