Evaluate a Phylogenetic map and draw conclusions about structures, metabolic processes, types of motility, and mechanisms of reproduction that have evolved only once or repeatedly in the history of eukaryotes
Explain how photosynthesis has evolved in eukaryotes, and what evidence is used to identify the origins of chloroplasts in the different groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes.
Describe the range of structures, metabolic processes, types of motility, and mechanisms of reproduction that are characteristic of eukaryotes. Compare the current evolutionary classification of eukaryotes with the traditional five-kingdom classification of all living organisms.
