The following are data from a small portion of the genome from four tetrapods.

Species: Sequence:

Chelonia mydas GACAG

Grus americana GACCG

Taricha granulosa GTACA

Zaglossus attenboroughi GTCAA

The challenge is to reconstruct the evolutionary ancestry of these four species from the molecular sequence information.

1.Phylogeny 1:

a. Draw a potential (unrooted) phylogenetic tree illustrating the possible relationships among these species.

b. Determine what (minimal) changes in sequence are required and where they must be located on the tree you have drawn in order to explain the observed sequences. Mark these on the tree above. HINT: it may be helpful to start with the sequences themselves at the tips of the tree.

c. How many (minimal) changes are required for this tree?

2. Phylogeny 2:

a. Draw a different potential (unrooted) phylogenetic tree illustrating the possible relationships among these species.

b.Mark the (minimal) changes on the tree above.

c. How many (minimal) changes are required for this tree?

how glucagon affect the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

is any about enzymes (activation/inactivation)will be included on the whole reaction? if it is reality, they (the substrate) will produce any product?

1a. Draw a simplified cartoon a nephron including structures at top of each column and any other structures you wish – be sure to label the structures! (you can skip the renal vein!).

1b Now look at how concentration of urea and protein change in various locations of the kidney – for each of these locations you need to contrast the concentrations and explain (hint: think about using the terms filtration/filtrate, reabsorption, and secretion…) what is happening to cause the changes you see in the table.

a. Compare and contrast urea/protein in the efferent arteriole:

b. Compare and contrast urea/protein in the capsule

c. Compare and contrast urea/protein in the collecting duct

d. Compare and contrast urea/protein in the renal vein

1c Concentration of amino acids and glucose in the renal vein is lower than in the incoming blood (for example in the afferent arteriole) – what is happening to these molecules in the kidney that is decreasing their concentration? (hint: notice they are not found in the urine!)

There are 350,000 species of angiosperms, and there are less than 40,000 species of all other land plants combined. What specific evolutionary innovations related to angiosperm reproductive biology were likely involved with this explosion in biodiversity? In what way did these novel features allow angiosperms to become so diverse.
