Phylogenetic tree evkarya 3 Domains based on ribosomal RNA seq ; bacteria , archae , # What features make SSU rRNA gene sequences ideal for phylogenetic studies? V The benefits of using small subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA) genes for phylogenetic analyses is that their sequences are highly conserved and universally present in all living things and varies with constant rate. Hence, SSU rRNA genes are best suited for phylogenetic and molecular clock analysis, as they could be used to reveal evolutionary relationships between all cells, providing the first effective tool for the evolutionary classification of microorganisms. * 3 Domains : Bacteria : No nuclear membrane , membrane bound organelles are rare , plasma mem = similar to eukarya , cell wall found in almost all species (made of peptidoglycan) RNA poly , histone: histone like poly single = protein Archaea : No nuclear membrane , membrane bound organelles are rare , Plasma mem = dif than bacterk , cell wall found in almost all species (made of various mats) RNA poly single = poly , erkaryal-like RNA pol 11 has histones , Evkarya : has nuclear membrane bacteria , cell found in some species (made of various mats) many membrane bound organelles similar to wall , , plasma mem = RNA 11 111 has histones poly-RNA pol1 , , , Viruses : "alive" don't replicate outside host cell , little to biochem activity outside of technically not , no a host cell inert , + nonreactive outside host Origin of life: early earth cond = harsh , little of , 4 temp , CO2 reducing atmosphere (lots agents) of reduced compound reducing , , First life experiment : millert harold Stanley urey simulate "Spark" Reg of life: Genetic info storage able separate cell interior from external early , to catalyze biochem rxh , env.
