Red algae

A mushroom is the _______________ structure of the fungus growing above the ground

Reproductive

What type of reproductive isolating mechanism is described by a situation in which time separates mating?

Temporal Isolation

Charles Darwin wrote this book explaining Natural Selection?

The Origin of Species

Bacteriophages carry portions of bacterial DNA from one cell to another in a process called

Transduction

T/F Antibiotics such as Penicillin, inhibit cell wall synthesis and work better on Gram + bacteria

True

T/F Male birds often perform a special dance or set of physical displays to attract females. This would be an example of a behavioral isolation mechanism.

Volvox

Which includes a sexually transmitted organism and the parasite organism that cause African sleeping sickness?

Zooflagellates

Darwin's theory of natural selection to explain evolution is also known as

descent with modification

Sexual reproduction organs

mushrooms, ascocarps, gametangia

Quantitative data

numerical data

obligate aerobe

organism that requires a constant supply of oxygen in order to live

obligate anaerobes

poisoned by oxygen

Birds and insects both have wings, but we do not consider this similarity as evidence of relatedness because

the wings are not homologous structures with a common ancestral origin.

Translation

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

When the continents broke apart and separated, animals were separated by ocean. This lead to this type of speciation?

Allopatric Speciation

This group is characterized by a clublike structure called a basidium which produces basidiospores.

Basidiomycetes

A mushroom would produce a sexual spore known as

Basidiospore

Groups of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups are called?

Biological Species

Water molds have a cell wall composed of __________?

Cellulose

A member of the green algae is

Chlamydomonas

This group is characterized by having cilia in at least one life stage?

Ciliates

Round shaped bacteria are called?

Cocci

Asexual organ

Condia

Analogous structures are evidence of __________?

Convergent Evolution

"Red tides'' are produced by massive blooms of

Dinoflagellates

In alternation of generations, the sporophyte stage is ____________.

Diploid

_________ is a protistan that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

Euglena; mixotrophic

T/F All members of the kingdom Protista are unicellular.

False

T/F All single-celled protistans are heterotrophic protozoans.

False

In alternation of generations, the gametophyte stage is ____________.

Haploid

Obligate Aerobe

Choanoflagellates belong to this supergroup:

Opisthokonts

Prokaryotes have a what?

Plasma Membrane, no nucleus, ribosomes, cell wall, divide by mitosis, reduced organelles, single circular dna

Plasmogamy

An example of a filamentous green alga is ______________

Spirogyra

What groups are all parasitic?

Sporozoa

Define dikaryotic

Stage that bridges the gap in fungal reproduction between diploid and haploid (fused cytoplasm, but not fused nuclei)

facultative anaerobes

can live with or without oxygen

Transduction

conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses our brains can interpret.

The term "mycorrhizae" is based on the Greek root words meaning

fungus and root

karyogamy

fusion of nuclei

obligate

to compel somebody to do something as a legal or moral duty
