Label derived characteristic for each of the indicated branches below. (6%) 1. Fill in the blanks below. (6%) The three DOMAINS of life are… , Chlorophyta Coleochete B C , and Plantae . 2. In the space below sketch and label a “typical” bacterial cell. Be certain to label at least four things. (8%) A a. b. c. 5.

Name BIOLOGY 262, FALL 2002 EXAMINATION #3 (PART 2) Date DEFINITIONS.For the following BIOLOGICAL words or phrases define them as accurately and concisely as possible. (20%, 4% each). 1. Science: 2. Endosymbiotic Theory of Eukaryotic Origins: 3. Fruit: 4. Mycelium 5. Pollen: LONG ANSWER.Address the following question in as concise and lucid a manner as possible. Do NOT exceed the space provided. (10%) 1. These questions are based upon lecture and the videos segments from the video series Evolution shown in class. a.) Briefly explain how drug resistance arises and becomes predominant in bacteria and viruses. (5%) b.) Briefly, identify two conditions in Russian prisons that made the evolution of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis more likely to occur there. (2%) c.) HIV infected people with resistant strains of the HIV virus were taken off of anti-HIV drugs for a period of time. Later, the patients were given the same anti-HIV drugs which then reduced the now susceptible HIV population. Why did the virus population change, becoming susceptible to anti-HIV drugs? Provide an evolutionary explanation. (3%) LONG ANSWERS (CONTINUED).For the following, address each in as concise and lucid a manner as possible. Do NOT exceed the space provided. (20%) 1. A single Staphylococcus aureus bacterium (a Gram + bacterium) infects a small cut on Herb’s arm. One week later Herb’s wound is very suddenly red, painful and clearly infected. His physician identifies the bacterium as Staphylococcus aureus and prescribes penicillin. The infection continues and worsens over the following week or two despite Herb’s taking penicillin as prescribed. a.) Describe in one short sentence what you know about the shape, arrangement of the cells, and cell wall structure of Staphylococcus aureus. (3%) b.) Draw an approximate graph of the population size of Staphylococcus aureus in Herb’s cut from the initial infection to one week. (Remember to label the axes.) Label the type of population growth. How does this explain the suddenness of the onset of his symptoms? (4%) c.) Provide a 1-sentence-long plausible explanation for why the penicillin did not stop the Staphylococcus aureus infection. Then in another sentence indicate if the choice of penicillin by the physician was appropriate for this type of bacterium. (Why? Or Why not?) (3%) 2. Describe the life cycle of a member of Phylum Pterophyta. Include all life cycle stages and label their ploidy. Also indicate all cellular processes that occur. Which life cycle generation is considered to be dominant. (Feel free but do not feel obliged to use labeled illustrations for your answer.) (10%)
