TREE OF LIFE
These are three sources of phylogenetic information
1. Comparative Morphology
2. Comparative Cytology
3. Comparative Biochemistry
These are the three main groups of Archaea.
Methanogens, Extremophiles, Non-extreme
The genus Plasmodium cause this disease, the second most important infectious disease for humans.
Malaria
This is the reason why we don't consider viruses to be "living".
They need a host cell to reproduce.
This old Swedish dude is known as the "father of modern taxonomy"
Linnaeus
The theory that the simplest explanation is the most likely
Occam's razor (maximum parsimony!)
This is the term for the assemblage of bacteria across our body.
Microbiome
This shelled amoeba from the supergroup Rhizaria is responsible for this formation
Foraminiferans, Cliffs of Dover
Describes the fact that covid attacks our respiratory system.
Tissue tropism
The person who came up with _____ theory, that explains the origination of eukaryotes from a relationship between two or more bacteria.
Endosymbiotic theory, Lyn Margulis

polyphyletic
Fimbriea and Flagella.
These are the three methods of asexual reproduction used by protists
Fission, Budding, Schizogony
The term for when a virus alters the host bacterial phenotype.
Phage conversion
This person added protists to the "kingdoms" in 1866 and discovered Radiolarians.
Earnst Haekel
Homologous
The organelle and reasoning that antibacterial antibiotics don't hurt humans is because of this.
Ribosomes, protein synthesis in bacteria.
Giardia intestinalis is found in this part of the body and are in this order.
Digestive tract, Diplomonadida
Switch from lysogenic to lytic cycle (new viruses ready to burst out and infect more cells)
Induction
He determined that Archaea and Eukarya are more closely related to each other than they are to bacteria.
Carl Woese
This term describes what mammary glands are in mammals in relation to tetrapods
Synapomorphy
Small units of circular extrachromosomal DNA that can be exchanged via this process which is important to humans for this reason.
Plasmid, conjugation, antibiotic resistance
This order is defined by the presence of membrane bound sacs, which we don't really understand the function of. An example,____, can cause respiratory failure in marine mammals.
Alveolata, red tide (dinoflagellata)
The term for a change in proteins on the envelope of a virus due to imprecise RNA replication.
Antigenic shift
