1. Describe the three modes that prokaryotes can 'obtain' new genes. Be sure to identify similarities and differences between the three modes. How does the concept of new gene introduction change the view that prokaryotes are asexual species? 2. Describe the conditions on Earth that is thought to have favored the evolution of seed plants? What, is a seed and how is it different from a spore?

1. There are many theories of abiogenesis, each one has improved our understanding of the origin of life and they each have their limitations Explain the limitations of each theory.
5)Which of the following observations constitutes evidence that mitochondria evolved before chloroplasts? Mitochondria are aerobic. Chloroplasts are photosynthetic. Aerobic bacteria evolved before photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria). Some protists have separately evolved their own plastids (chloroplast-like structures) through endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria, or even through endosymbiosis of photosynthetic protists. All Eukaryotes have mitochondria; only a subset of Eukaryotes have chloroplasts.
1. Which of the following is not an evidence that chloroplasts and mitochondria originated as prokaryotic endosymbionts of larger cells? * A. They contain circular DNA molecules not associated with proteins. B. Their membranes have enzymes and transport systems that resemble those found in plasma membranes of prokaryotes. C. Their ribosomal RNA is more similar to that of eubacteria than to eukaryotes. D. They contain their own genome and produce their own proteins. 2. Why does the endosymbiotic hypothesis maintain that chloroplasts may have at least three origins? It is because * A. Molecular systematics link the red line, green line and brown line to three different eubacteria. B. The chloroplasts of green plants show three distinct morphologies. C. The pigment composition and thylakoid arrangement cyanobacteria occur in three different arrangements. D. The phyla of algal protists can be divided into three…

Apply Evolutionary Thinking How do human activities (such as destruction of natural habitats, diversion of rivers, and the construction of buildings) influence the chances that new species of plants and animals will evolve in the future? Frame your answer in terms of the geographical and genetic factors that foster speciation.
Many farmers are worried about the decreasing genetic diversity of plants associated with generations of artificial selection and inbreeding. Why is limiting random sexual reproduction of food crops concerning? Mutations during asexual reproduction decrease plant fitness Consumers do not trust identical-appearing produce Larger portions of the plant populations are susceptible to the same diseases Spores are not viable in an agricultural setting.
