1. Why is the evolution from prokaryotic life to eukaryotic life considered to be one of the most dramatic evolutionary changes in the history

2. What are the major differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

3. Describe the mechanisms that occurred in the evolution of complex cells that established the Kingdom Protista.

4. Why might the Kingdom Protista considered a "fruit salad" kingdom - a collection of unrelated items?

5. Be able to describe the significance of the Autogenesis Theory, Symbiogenesis and the Endosymbiotic Theory, and the nuclear lineage lead diploidy. That is, be able to define each, then explain what is generated by each, then explain why each confers an evolutionary advantage

6. How does the Serial Endosymbiotic Theory provide a means of rapid evolutionary change? Consider the terms: horizontal evolution.

7. Why is the evolution of diploidy and sexual reproduction considered to be significant?

8. Distinguish between mitosis and meiosis. How might each of these serve the life cycle of an organism?

9. Given the three patterns of sexual reproduction, how are they similar to one another. What is the basic difference between these and the lif prokaryotes, specifically in terms of their sources of genetic variation?

10. Be able to briefly describe the arrangement of and functions of the organelles inside the typical eukaryotic cell: the plasma membrane, nucle endoplasmic reticulum, bound and free ribosomes, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria and the cytoskeleton.

11. What is meant by the phrase "the cell is dynamic place"?

12. What is meant by the phrase "all genetic disease can be understood at the cellular level"?

13. In multicellular organisms, cells are differentiated. What differs in these cells? Consider the macromolecules as well as other cellular structure
