This phylum contains "stalked mushrooms", like the ones we eat.
Basidiomycota
100
Evolutionary change above the species level, including the beginnings of new taxa or a shift in the patterns of evolutionary change over a long period of time.
Examples: adaptive radiations like the diversification of mammals, or mass extinctions.
Macroevolution
100
Method of obtaining nutrients.
Ingest them: heterotrophic. Digest organic material internally.
200
What phylum are spiders in?
Phylum Arthropoda
200
Cell wall containing peptidoglycan
Prokaryotes
200
Molds are found in this phylum.
Zygomycota
200
Changes in the allele frequencies in a population over time; evolutionary change below the species level.
Microevolution.
200
There are two life stages in this phylum: polyp and medusa.
Cnidaria
300
Pterophyta are the _________.
Ferns
300
Long strands of DNA in a nucleus.
Eukaryotes
300
This phylum contains yeasts and cup fungi.
Ascomycota
300
These are characteristics of organisms that enhance their survival and reproduction in specific environments.
Adaptations (noun)
300
The animals in this phylum ingest and digest organic particles in individual cells, and their cells can be rearranged into a new formation easily.
Porifera.
400
Marsupials belong to this Class.
Class Mammalia
400
Prokaryotes reproduce by
Binary fission.
400
Name their methods of obtaining nutrients. (remember, mycorrhizal fungi feed on living material from the host plant)
Saprotrophic and Heterotrophic. Digest organic material externally.
400
What is this mechanism of microevolution called: when spontaneous changes in DNA sequences occur.
Mutation, the ORIGINAL SOURCE of all variability in populations.
400
The original terrestrial animal is thought to have come out of the ocean from this phylum.
Osteichthyes: the bony fish. The lobe-finned fish is thought to be the ancestor of 4-limbed terrestrial animals.
500
This phylum contains sharks and rays.
Phylum Chondrichthyes.
500
Nucleus and membrane-bound organelles present.
Eukaryotes
500
Their cell walls contain this structural compound.
Chitin
500
What is this mechanism of microevolution called: when some organisms from a population randomly move into another population.
Gene flow or migration.
500
The animals in this phylum use hydrostatic pressure to operate lots of "feet" that act as suckers and help with obtaining food.
