All cells are formed from pre existing cells • Louis Pasteur- Proved Virchow right, as well as cell theory, disproved spontaneous generation in non-living cells • Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace- All diverse species- all distinct identifiable types of organisms, are connected by common ancestry. • James Watson and Francis Crick- Proposed that DNA is a double stranded helix • Rosalind Franklin- performed structural analyses that led to that model • Francis Crick- First articulated central dogma • Carl Woese- Tried to understand phylogeny (evolutionary relationships) with other scientists. observed RNA • Carlos Linnaeus- Established the two-part name unique system for naming species that is still in use today • Robert Simmons and Lue Scheepers- Giraffe Hypothesis • Wittlingers Group- Ant Hypothesis • Theodore Boveri & Walter Sutton- Chromosomal Theory of Intelligence • Chargaff – created data to show that 1:1 molar ratio between nitrogenous bases…help Watson and crick discover the double helix structure Know the components of cell theory and their implications for living organisms today. The basic tenets of the cell theory are as follows: • All living things are made up of one or more cells. • The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living things. • Cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of division. • All cells are the same in regard to chemical composition. • All energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) of life occurs within the cell. The observations of Hooke and van Leeuwenhoek documenting the existence of microscopic cells formed the basis of the cell theory stating that all living things are composed of cells Define biological evolution. • Biological evolution is the process through which the characteristics of organisms change over successive generations, by means of genetic variation and natural selection. It is most commonly defined as "changes in gene frequencies in populations." Be able to describe how natural selection acts to drive evolution. • Natural selection leads to evolutionary change when individuals with certain characteristics have a greater survival or reproductive rate than other individuals in a population and pass on these inheritable genetic characteristics to their offspring. Who first proposed natural selection as mechanism for evolution? • Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory, explained in detail in Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). What conditions must be present for natural selection to act? • Variation- individuals in the population must differ with respect to the trait in question. Without this variation, all individuals will have the same trait value and cannot be distinguished with respect to that trait. • Heritability- The variation found in the population must (at least partially) be heritable, e.g. transmitted from parent to offspring. If the variation is the trait is due entirely to environment, for example, changes in the parent population would not affect the characteristics of the offspring population. • Differential Mortality: Finally, individuals must have a probability of survival that is a function of the value of the trait in question. If all individuals, regardless of their trait value, had an equal probability of survival and fecundity, no predictable change in the mean value of the population would occur. What is the chromosomal theory of inheritance? • Chromosomes, which are seen in all dividing cells and pass from one generation to the next, are the basis for all genetic inheritance. Over a period of time random mutation creates changes in DNA sequence of genes What is the Central Dogma? DNA- RNA-- Proteins Describe the three domains of life Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya What type of cells are present in each domain? • Bacteria- Prokaryotes • Archaea- mostly prokaryotes, some eukaryotes, • Eukarya – Eukaryotes Know the steps of the scientific method. The universally-accepted, organized approach to the study of science, which consists of the following steps: 1) Observation - collecting data. 2) Hypothesis - forming a preliminary possible explanation of the data. 3) Testing - test the hypothesis by collecting more data. 4) Results - interpreting the results of the test and deciding if the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis is rejected if the results contradict it, showing that it is wrong. 5) Conclusion - stating a conclusion that can be evaluated independently by others. Define and contrast hypothesis and theory • Hypothesis- A testable statement that explains a phenomenon or a set of observations. • Theory- An explanation for a broad class of phenomena that is supported by a wide body of evidence. A theory serves as a framework for the development of new hypotheses. • A hypothesis is an attempt to explain phenomena. It is a proposal, a guess used to understand and/or predict something. A theory is the result of testing a hypothesis and developing an explanation that is assumed to be true about something. A theory replaces the hypothesis after testing confirms the hypothesis, or the hypothesis is modified and tested again, until predictable results occur. CHAPTER 1 VOCAB Adaptation - Any heritable trait that increases the fitness of an individual with that trait, compared with individuals without that trait, in a particular environment. Eukaryote - A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles Fitness - Ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment Phylogeny - the development or evolution of a particular group of organisms (Tree of Life) Phylum - (plural: phyla) In Linnaeus' system, a taxonomic category above the class level and below the kingdom level. In plants, sometimes called a division. Prediction - A measurable or observable result of an experiment based on a particular hypothesis. A correct prediction provides support for the hypothesis being tested. Prokaryote - A member of the domain Bacteria or Archaea; a unicellular organism lacking a nucleus and containing relatively few organelles or cytoskeletal components. Scientific name - Genus name and the species name put together by the binomial nomenclature system. Speciation - An evolutionary process in which one species splits into two or more species. Taxon - taxa (pl.) Any named group of organisms at any level of a classification system. CHAPTER 2 Describe the chemical evolution hypothesis.

Understand Miller’s “Spark-discharge” experiment and his conclusions. Stanley Miller tried to recreate early atmosphere in lab. YouTube video we watched The prebiotic soup model proposes that certain molecules were synthesis from gases from the atmosphere or arrived via meteorites. Afterward they would have condensed with rain and accumulated in oceans. This process would result in “organic soup” that allowed for continued construction of larger, even more complex molecules The surface metabolism model- suggests that dissolved gases came in contact with minerals lining the walls of deep sea vents and formed more complex organic molecules. How does the surface metabolism model of chemical evolution differ from the prebiotic soup model? The surface metabolism model evokes mineral catalysts What is a functional group?

Proteins catalyze chemical reactions by bringing them together in the right orientation and helping them react together. If they have the wrong shape they cannot do this. This is because with the wrong shape, the pieces will not fit together properly.
