Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason behind the 24-hour rhythms of cyanobacteria and humans that reflect convergent evolution.
Concept introduction:
Circadian rhythm is a biological process that displays an endogenous and entrains able oscillation of about 24 hours. A circadian rhythm is also defined as a set of physiological changes that occur roughly every twenty four hours. A circadian rhythm comes under intrinsic to the body.

MAKE CONNECTIONS The bacterium Wolbachia is asymbiont that lives in mosquito cells and spreads rapidlythrough mosquito populations. Wolbachia can make mosquitoes resistant to infection by Plasmodium; researchersare seeking a strain that confers resistance and does notharm mosquitoes. Compare evolutionary changes thatcould occur if malaria control is attempted using such aWolbachia strain versus using insecticides to kill mosquitoes. (Review Figure 28.16 and Concept 23.4.)
MAKE CONNECTIONS Scientific hypotheses must betestable (see Concept 1.3). Applying this criterion, areCuvier’s explanation of the fossil record and Lamarck’shypothesis of evolution scientific? Explain your answerin each case.

- Test Your Understanding Evaluate and Synthesize 17. EVOLUTION LINK Scientists have proposed various initiatives to detect water vapor, as well as oxygen and carbondioxide, in the atmospheres of distant planets. Which of these biosignatures (chemical markers that are evidence for life) would you consider the most fundamental indicator that life could have evolved on these planets? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding Apply and Analyze 9. In interpreting a cladogram, (a) we can identify the specific ancestor of each taxon by tracing each branch back to the node closest to the root (b) taxa on the right side of a cladogram have evolved from the taxa on the left side (c) the relative placement of smaller branches allows us to determine the number of years since a particular taxon has evolved (d) we can determine relationships by tracing along the branches back to the most recent common ancestor (e) we must first identify horizontal gene transferarrow_forwardWHAT IF? Suppose gene A is orthologous in species 1and species 2, and gene B is paralogous to gene A inspecies 1. Suggest a sequence of two evolutionary eventsthat could result in the following: Gene A differs considerably between species, yet gene A and gene B show littledivergence from each other.arrow_forward

Why?     If you are an expert in Genetic Engineering what would be your creation and how will it help us?     Assessment: Enumerate what is/are being asked. Give at least five examples of genetic engineered plants/animals. a.b.c.d.e. Give at least 2 examples of the following:  Fission- - Budding- - Fragmentation- -3. Give at least 4 examples of plants which can do Vegetative Reproduction.      a.                b.     c.     d. What’s new: If you are alone in the middle of the forest and there is now way out, what is the first thing that you are going to do or look for in order for you to survive?     If you are given a chance to choose an animal to help you to survive in the middle of the forest, what would it be and why?arrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION In 1847, the German biologistChristian Bergmann noted that mammals and birds livingat higher latitudes (farther from the equator) are on averagelarger and bulkier than related species found at lower latitudes.Suggest an evolutionary hypothesis to explain this observationarrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION The history of life has beenpunctuated by several mass extinctions. For example, theimpact of a meteorite may have wiped out most of thedinosaurs and many forms of marine life at the end of theCretaceous period (see Concept 25.4). Fossils indicate thatplants were less severely affected by this mass extinction.What adaptations may have enabled plants to withstandthis disaster better than animals?arrow_forward

The presence of homologous structures in two different groups of organisms suggests that (a) the organisms evolved from a common ancestor (b) convergent evolution has occurred (c) they belong to a polyphyletic group (d) homoplasy has occurred (e) independently acquired characters may evolve when organisms inhabit similar environmentsarrow_forward
- MAKE CONNECTIONS Historically, annelids and arthropods were viewed as closely related because both havebody segmentation. Yet DNA sequence data indicatethat annelids belong to one clade (Lophotrochozoa) andarthropods to another (Ecdysozoa). Could traditionaland molecular hypotheses be tested by studyingthe Hox genes that control body segmentation (seeConcept 21.6)? Explain.arrow_forwardMAKE CONNECTIONS Hawaiian silverswords underwent a remarkable adaptive radiation after their ancestor reached Hawaii, while the islands were still young(see Figure 25.22). Would you expect the cattle egretto undergo a similar adaptive radiation in the Americas(see Figure 52.18)? Explain.arrow_forwardMAKE CONNECTIONS Develop a hypothesis to explainwhy the diversity of mammals increased in the Cenozoic.Your explanation should consider mammalian adaptations as well as factors such as mass extinctions andcontinental drift (review Concept 25.4).arrow_forward
