14-3: Origin of Heredity. Hypothesis. Testable explanation to a problem or a question. Theory. Summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. It is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it.
E N D
Hypothesis • Testable explanation to a problem or a question
Theory • Summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. • It is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. • EX. Cell Theory and Theory of Continental Drift
Law • Generalizes a body of observations • Laws explain things, but they do not describe them • EX. Law of Gravity
First Life FormsRole of RNA • Amino acids linked to make a chain that could make shapes like ribozymes (early ribosome) which could replicate itself
First Life Forms - The First Cells • Prokaryotes before eukaryotes • 3 major trends all interrelated: • Anaerobic Aerobic • Heterotrophic Autotrophic • Chemosynthetic Photosynthetic
First Life Forms The First Eukaryotes • Endosymbiosis Theory • Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to be prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by a bigger cell • Supporting Evidence: • Both organelles contain their own DNA • DNA is circular (like other prokaryotes) • Can replicate on their own.
Put these in the order in which they are thought to have originated on Earth • Anaerobic heterotrophic prokaryotes • Aerobic eukaryotes • Chemosynthetic prokaryotes • Photosynthetic prokaryotes Answer: 1, 3, 4, 2
