THIS WILL BE A DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING EXAM!! BE PREPARED TO THINK!!! CHAPTER 22 What is Lamarckian evolution, and how is it similar to and different from Darwinian evolution? Be able to recognize a Lamarckian example when you see one. Know and understand the concept of natural selection. KNOW THE OBSERVATIONS AND INFERENCES ASSOCIATED WITH DARWIN'S PRINCIPLES OF EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION, AS OUTLINED IN YOUR TEXTBOOK. Is Darwinian evolution directed or does it happen by chance? Know and understand how to apply these concepts to evolutionary situations and problems presented to you. CHAPTER 23 What are the requirements for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Know all the ways that these requirements can be invalidated. BE ABLE TO CALCULATE ALLELE AND GENOTYPE FREQUENCIES IN HARDY-WEINBERG PROBLEMS. (Bring a calculator to the exam, capable of performing squares and square roots. DO NOT BRING ANY DEVICE CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING WORDS OR LETTERS!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE IT!!!! NUMERICAL DISPLAY ONLY!!!!) WHAT IS MICROEVOLUTION? What is Darwinian fitness? What is the one important purpose of diploidy? What are the reasons why natural selection cannot fashion a "perfect" organism? What is our modern understanding of evolution? CHAPTER 24 Which is the only "natural" taxon, determined by the ability to interbreed? Know the prezygotic and postzygotic methods of reproductive isolation. WHAT IS ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION? WHAT IS SYMPATRIC SPECIATION? WHAT IS THE IMPORTANT END RESULT OF BOTH KINDS OF SPECIATION MECHANISMS? HOW ARE SPECIES KEPT GENETICALLY DISTINCT? CHAPTER 25 What is macroevolution, and by what genetic and developmental mechanisms is it thought to occur? What are the geological and biological explanations for macroevolution. Know the Miller-Urey experiment and what type of compounds were produced. What is a protocell/protobiont? Know and be able to recognize examples of protocells/protobionts. What are the properties shown by protocells/protobionts? What important life process cannot be done by protocells/protobionts? In fossil dating, know the definition of "half-life". Given any radioisotope and its half-life in years, be able to calculate the age of a fossil. What was the composition of the primitive atmosphere of Earth? Why was the primitive atmosphere of Earth more conducive to the origin of life than is our present atmosphere? What was the most probable chemical composition of the first ancient genetic material? Know the endosymbiotic theory - how does this theory help to explain the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts? How is this different than the model for the origin of the eukaryotic endomembrane system? Which organisms are thought to be the ancestors of modern chloroplasts? What are transposons, and how do they function in horizontal gene transfer? Why are transposons important concerning the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts? What are exaptations? Why are they important to the understanding of evolution by natural selection? CHAPTER 26 What is the correct hierarchy of the Linnaean system? What is the newest taxon and where in the hierarchy does it occur? What is convergent evolution? Be able to recognize examples of convergent evolution. What molecular criterion is used today to construct a modern classification system? CHAPTER 27 What are the various nutritional combinations of carbon and energy lifestyles? What is the basic cell plan of all bacteria and archaea? Know the cellular components of bacteria, and their properties. What are the two major chemical constituents found in many prokaryotic cell walls? What is a nucleoid? What is a plasmid? Know how it functions in conjugation. Know the possible effects of the horizontal transfer of genes by conjugation between cells of the same prokaryotic species. What is the major problem concerning the overuse of antibiotics in medical treatment? What is the most important ecological role played by the prokaryotes? CHAPTER 28 What is the basic cell plan of protists? Know the cellular components of protists, and their properties. Which organisms are thought to be the ancestors of the green plants? CHAPTER 29, CHAPTER 30 What is a gametophyte? What is a sporophyte? Know the general characteristics of the mosses, the ferns, the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. What is the major chemical constituent of plant cell walls? Know the specific and comparative changes and differences observed as the plants evolved - mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, then angiosperms. Know the important anatomical and reproductive differences between the mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Which feature would definitively identify organisms as land plants? Know the definition of and the stages of alternation of generations. What are antheridia, and how do they function? What are archegonia, and how do they function? What is the difference between gametangia and sporangia? Which stage is dominant in the mosses, the ferns, and the flowering plants - the sporophyte or the gametophyte? What are Embryophytes - what is important about them? Know the details of the embryophyte lifestyle. Why are angiosperms so successful in reproduction? What are the advantages of reproduction by seeds? What is double fertilization, and why is it important to the plant? CHAPTER 31 What is a fungus? What is a mold? What is a mycelium? What are hyphae? What does the word coenocytic mean? What are hyphal septa, and why are they porous? What is the major chemical constituent of fungal cell walls? What are the vegetative mycelium and the aerial mycelium? What are their individual functions? How do they move outward from the point of germination? What is the major nutritional lifestyle of all fungi? What is plasmogamy? What is karyogamy? What is a heterokaryon/dikaryon? What are mycorrhizae? In addition, you are responsible for all specialized biological vocabulary not mentioned in this topic sheet. I may ask specific questions about definitions. I will also use specialized words in questions and in answers to those questions. I will expect you to know the meaning of any biological vocabulary word which was used in lecture or laboratory, or in your reading assignments. This holds for ALL of your exams, not just this one.
