🎯Eukaryotes
TARGETS
| 9. While microscopic eukaryotes (for example, fungi, protozoa and algae) carry out some of the same processes as bacteria, many of the cellular properties are fundamentally different. | Identify (model or diagram) major eukaryotic cell structures and explain their associated functions. State two unique structures present in Eukaryotes, but not in Bacteria and Achaea. |
Explain why eukaryotic cells need/have organelles, while bacterial and archaeal cells generally do not. Compare and contrast transcription and/or translation in Eukaryotes vs. Bacteria or Archaea. Explain why it is difficult to develop antifungal drugs. Describe some of the successful cellular targets that have been identified. |
| 16. Although the central dogma is universal in all cells, the processes of replication, transcription, and translation differ in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. | State two characteristics of the universal genetic code. State the average size of genes and genomes in a bacterium vs. a human. |
Explain how chromosome structure differs in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes (e.g., histones and circular/linear chromosomes). Compare and contrast DNA replication in Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes. Explain how the organization of genes in an operon affects transcription in Bacteria, compared to a single gene. Explain the role of mRNA processing in Eukaryotes. List the similarities and differences in transcription initiation and termination between Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. List the similarities and differences in translation initiation between Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. Present an argument, using the processes of transcription and translation, to explain the evolution of the three branches of cells: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. |
