Transcript

new species

Flip

what are the isolating things for reproduction -> premating

Flip

significance of amborella + flowers being a source of diversity

Flip

amborella = only 1 species, flowers cannot be the sole source of diversity since it doesn't have lots of species like the sister group -> perhaps something about flowers

Next

what are the assumptions of phylogenies

Flip

- evolution histories are branching process (bifurcating) - data collected are representative of total pool - characters evolve in a parsimonious (simpliest) fashion

Next

3 MISSIONS

Flip

describe the relationship between viridophytes, glaucophtyes, and rhodophytes?

Flip

rhod. + virid. -> sister groups both are closer related to eachother than glauc.

Next

REQUIREMENTS FOR A PLANT

Flip

lycophyte synapomorphy

Flip

microphylls, tracheids

Next

TREE OF LIFE question

Flip

tokogenetic relationship

Flip

mating patterns that establish diversity

Next

what are apart of the "bryophytes"

Flip

Next

species concepts

most common

biological

phylogenetic

genelogical

morphological

smallest monoplyletic group that is diagnosable by derived shared traits intermixed organisms within a clade means they are probs same species

group of actual/potential interbreeding natural populations

look alike = species doesn't look alike = farther apart

species have to evolve differently than one another then they are seperate *kinda encompasses all the others

morphological cuz that's what is seen and to have a new species you need a type specimen

Tree of life question

Flip

what are the advantages of outcrossing

Flip

- increases biodiversity, gives new raw material for adaptation - reduce inbreed depression -hybrid vigor

Next

what are the promotions of outcrossing

Flip

- self incompatibility if pollen matches ovaries - heterostyly (styles + stamens different lengths) - protandry (when anthers open first) - herkogamy (spatial seperation of stigmas from anters

Next

gymnosperms

Next

gnetales

conifers

cycads

ginkgo

SPORO, gameto cones reproduction swimming sperm

SPORO, gameto cones NO swimming sperm boreal forests includes biggest + oldest organisms

one species SPORO, gameto highly modified cones reproduction swimming sperm

SPORO, gameto cones NO swimming sperm 3 genera = welwitschia, ephedra, gnetum

TREE OF LIFE QUESTION

Flip

homoplasy is

Flip

evolutionary parallelisms + reversals; species evolving similar traits not from common ancester

Next

Next

pollinators

bird

bat

bee

blue, yellow, purple strong scent day landing platform, nectar spurs nectar + pollen reward

red/bright no scent day tubular, ovary inside nectar reward

white-ish musky strong scent night showy/inflorescense nectar + pollen reward

alternation of generations

Flip

growth in sporophyte and gametophyte stages of life

Next

monilophyte synapomorphy

Flip

true leaves, overtopping, stem anatomy, tracheids

Next

id byrophytes

Next

hornworts

liverworts

mosses

dom green gametophyte stage net carbon

horn like sporophyte flattened gameotophyte

alligator skin leafy simple thalloid

allopatric vs sympatric speciation

Flip

sympatric = mutations, polyploidy allopatric = physical distance doesn't allow mating

Next

tree building methodologies

Next

maximum likelihood

bayesian methods

parsimony

fast good for large data posterior probability for a tree, given data

simple + easy based on occam's razor -> simpliest solution is the best

calculates data likelihood based on all trees slow but allows flexibility give a single tree

life cycle of embryophyte

Flip

sporophyte
gametophyte

Next

alternation of gens

Flip

bryophytes

*homosporous

Next

lycophytes

*can have m + f gametes hetero/homosporous

Next

monilophytes

*homosporous

Next

monilophytes

*homosporous

Next

gymnosperms

*have m + f gametes heterosporous

Next

angiosperms

*have m + f gametes heterosporous
