(6%) The three DOMAINS of life are… Archaea , Bacteria , and Eukarya . 2. In the space below sketch and label a “typical” bacterial cell. Be certain to label at least four things. (8%) 3.

(20%, 4% each). 1. Science: The belief that phenomena have natural causes that can be revealed by empirical evidence. 2. Endosymbiotic Theory of Eukaryotic Origins: The idea that some organelles of eukaryotic cells are derived from mutualistic associations among non-eukaryotic cells. (e.g., chloroplasts) 3. Fruit: A mature ovary; carpel tissue surrounding seeds 4. Mycelium A group of fungal hyphae. 5. Pollen: The 2-3 celled male gametophyte of seed plants. LONG ANSWER.Address the following question in as concise and lucid a manner as possible. Do NOT exceed the space provided. (10%) 1. These questions are based upon lecture and the videos segments from the video series Evolution shown in class. a.) Briefly explain how drug resistance arises and becomes predominant in bacteria and viruses. (5%) Resistance initially arises as a random mutation. (The antibiotic does not cause the mutation.) It then becomes predominant in the population because of the strong natural selection of the antibiotic. b.) Briefly, identify two conditions in Russian prisons that made the evolution of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis more likely to occur there. (2%) [any two] crowding, poor nutrition, stress, poor ventilation, no funds for proper treatment, patients with active TB not always isolated, treatment interrupted by release of prisoners c.) HIV infected people with resistant strains of the HIV virus were taken off of anti-HIV drugs for a period of time. Later, the patients were given the same anti-HIV drugs which then reduced the now susceptible HIV population. Why did the virus population change, becoming susceptible to anti-HIV drugs? Provide an evolutionary explanation. (3%) In the absence of the anti-HIV drugs, the non-resistant wild-type strain reproduces and infects cells better. Therefore, in an environment without drugs the wild-type strain is favored by natural selection and the resistant strain decreases in frequency.LONG ANSWERS (CONTINUED).For the following, address each in as concise and lucid a manner as possible. Do NOT exceed the space provided. (20%) 1. A single Staphylococcus aureus bacterium (a Gram + bacterium) infects a small cut on Herb’s arm. One week later Herb’s wound is very suddenly red, painful and clearly infected. His physician identifies the bacterium as
