Cards

Term
Systematics
Definition

Analytical approach to understanding the diversity and relationships of organisms, both living and extinct

Term
Molecular systematics
Definition

compares DNA, RNA, other molecules to examine evolutionary relationships between genes, genomes

Term
Cladogram
Definition

diagram focused on
ancestry
Doesn’t always include fossil,
other evidence of
evolutionary relatedness

Term
Clade
Definition
group of species that includes an ancestral species and all descendents
Term
1969 taxonomy
Definition
Whittaker’s 5 Kingdoms: monera, protista, fungi, plantae, animalia
Term
1990's taxonomy
Definition

3 Domain system: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya

Term
taxonomy history
Definition
2 kingdoms, 5 kingdoms, 3 domains
Term
problem with monera
Definition
can fit in both archae and bacteria
Term
problem with protista
Definition

Protista = several kingdoms?
Plants, Fungi, Animals within Protista?

Term
what did kingdom planta start with 
Definition

Charophytes

From water to land
  
- Sporopollenin

Term
how carophycians are linked to plants
Definition

1.Rose-shaped proteins for making cellulose (Fig 29.2)
2.Presence of peroxisome enzymes
3.Similar flagellated sperm
4.Phragmoplast formation 
1.Aligning of elements during telophase

Term
land plant characteristics
Definition
Apical meristems=regions of cell division at roots/shoots.
Embryophytes=contain multicellular, dependent embryos
Alternation of generations=2 multicellular body forms (sporophyte, gametophyte)
Sporangia-> walled spores
Sporopollenin
Multicellular gametangia (in all but Anthophyta) [p. 603]
Antheridia, Archegonia
Term
alternation of generations
Definition

1. Gametophyte (n)→haploid gametes (mitosis)

2. 2 gametes fuse (fertilization)→ diploid zygote

3. Zygote (2n) develops into sporophyte

4. Sporophyte (2n)→ haploid spores (meiosis)

5. Haploid spores develop into gametophytes (n

Term
Vascular Tissue System
Definition

Transport
Xylem
Water/minerals up from roots
Tracheids
Phloem
Sugars/organic molecules down from shoots/leaves

Term
dermel tissues
Definition

EPIDERMIS: covers and protects

- PERIDERM: bark

- CUTICLE: leaves/stems

Term
ground tissues
Definition

TISSUES=photosynthesis, storage, support

- PARENCHYMA- metabolic functions

- COLLENCHYMA- support growing tissues

- SCLERENCHYMA- support

- PITH-inside vascular tissue

- CORTEX-outside vascular tissue

Term
roots evolved from ...
Definition
UNDERGROUND
   STEMS
OF VASCULAR PLANTS, THUS
   ROOTS ASSUMED THE ROLE OF
   WATER AND NUTRIENT ABSORPTION
   AND TRANSPORT.
Term
leaves evolved from....
Definition
PHOTOSYNTHETIC STEMS AS THEY
   FLATTENED AND EXPANDED.  AS
   VASCULAR TISSUE INVADED THESE
   REGIONS THEY BECAME TRUE LEAVES.
