origin of life on earth

origin of life on earth


K. N.
This flashcard set delves into advanced biology topics suitable for university students, focusing on cellular evolution, bacterial characteristics, and genetic material comparisons. It explores the similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the role of mitochondria and chloroplasts, and the evolution of genetic material from RNA to DNA. The flashcards also cover the origins of life on Earth, including the Urey-Miller experiment and the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis. This set is ideal for biology students seeking to understand the fundamental processes of cellular evolution and the genetic basis of life.

Cartes-fiches

earliest fossils are __ years old

conditions of early earth favored

hypothesized that organic compounds could arise

spontaneously on the early Earth (no oxygen to oxidize).

test the hypothesis in a simulated laboratory environment. Formed

small organic compounds (amino acids) spontaneously. It is possible!

aggregation of polymers into protobionts

catalytic, self replicating

probably the first genetic material

later followed since it's more stable than the first genetic material

possible template for protein production

__ came after __ because oxygen became abundant in the atmosphere (about 2.1 bil years ago)

eukaryotic cells were formed by 2 methods:

 

 

__ formed from cyanobacteria and mitochondria from

heterotrophic aerobes. Initially symbiotic, developed into one organism.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts:

the evolutionary history of a species

__ similarity due to shared ancestry (__).

mammilian forelimbs

__ is similarity due to __

wings on birds and insects

compare amino acid sequence of common proteins

-objective and quantitative

-comparisons of distantly related species

compare similarities in genome

-most direct method

-can analyze fossil dna

divide of cellular life forms into archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote

monera (bacteria)
