IV. Evolutionary Relationships and Genetic Interactions Between Kingdoms -…
Topics and Subtopics:
- Common Ancestry and Evolution of Kingdoms
- Evolutionary tree of life (phylogenetics) and how kingdoms are related.
- Genetic divergence between prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) and eukaryotes (Plants, Animals, Fungi).
- Evolution of symbiotic relationships as an adaptation strategy.
- Co-Evolution of Species Across Kingdoms
- Co-evolution between plants and herbivores.
- Co-evolution between parasites and hosts (e.g., parasites evolving with their animal hosts).
- The concept of the "Red Queen Hypothesis" and its application to kingdom interactions.
- Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) and Its Impact
- Mechanisms of HGT: Transformation, transduction, and conjugation in bacteria.
- Impact of HGT on genetic diversity and adaptation across kingdoms.
