Osteological features

Apply positional terminology to describe the relationships of osteological features

Invasive species

Describe an invasive species. Discuss how releasing an unwanted pet or accidentally releasing a non-native organism can devastate an environment, using lionfish as an example. 

Major primate groups

The relationships between major primate groups on a cladogram.have traditionally been classified into two major groups on the basis of morphology

Pleisomorphy, apomorphy, synapomorphy

Pleisomorphy, apomorphy, synapomorphy.Understand the differences between a: pleisomorphy, apomorphy, synapomorphy, sympleisiomorphy, and autopomorphy.

Photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.

Compare photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.Photophosphorylation occurs in the chloroplast during photosynthesis, whereas oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria during cellular respiration. Both the processes synthesise ATP by chemiosmosis linked to the electron transport system.

Why water move through a membrane?

Why does water move through a membrane?

because there is a balanced concentration gradient across the membrane of solute and solvent.

Water moves across cell membranes by diffusion, in a process known as osmosis. Osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, with the solvent (water, for example) moving from an area of low solute (dissolved material) concentration to an area of high solute concentration

Membrane fluid nature?

Why is it advantageous for the cell membrane to be fluid in nature?

The degree of fluidity of the membrane is determined by the lipid content of the membrane. The fluid nature of the membrane indicates function of cell growth, division and endocytosis. The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.

Role of Fezf2 in the specification

Describe the role of Fezf2 in the specification of cortical neuron subtype.

Allopatric separation leads to speciation.

test whether allopatric separation leads to speciation. What would your study organism be? Why? What would you measure, how often would you measure it, and what would you expect to find if the allopatric speciation hypothesis is correct

How is a species classified

How is a species classified and describe the pre and post-mating mechanisms in which species can only reproduce?
