Background
Biologists have long organized living things into large groups called kingdoms.
There are six of them:
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Some recent findings…
In 1996, scientists decided to split Monera into two groups of bacteria:
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Because these two groups of bacteria were different in many ways scientists created a new level of classification called a DOMAIN.
Now we have 3 domains
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukarya
KingdomArchaebacteria
Any of a large group of primitive bacteria having unusual cell walls, membrane lipids, ribosomes, and RNA sequences, and having the ability to produce methane and to live in anaerobic, extremely hot, salty, or acidic conditions
The Domain Archaea
“ancient” bacteria
Some of the first archaebacteria were discovered in Yellowstone National Park’s hot springs
Prokaryotes are structurally simple, but biochemically complex
Basic Facts
They live in extreme environments (like hot springs or salty lakes) and normal environments (like soil and ocean water).
All are unicellular (each individual is only one cell).
No peptidoglycan in their cell wall.
Some have a flagella that aids in their locomotion.
Most don’t need oxygen to survive
They can produce ATP (energy) from sunlight
They can survive enormous temperature extremes
They can survive under rocks and in ocean floor vents deep below the ocean’s surface
They can tolerate huge pressure differences
STRUCTURE
Size
Archaea are slightly less than 1 micron long.
A micron is 1/1,000 of a millimeter.
In order to see their cellular features, scientists use powerful electron microscopes.
Shape
Shapes can be spherical or ball shaped and are called coccus.
Others are rod shaped, long and thin, and labeled bacillus.
Variations of cells have been discovered in square and triangular shapes.
STRUCTURE
Locomotion
Some archaea have flagella, hair-like structures that assist in movement.
There can be one or many attached to the cell's outer membrane. Protein networks can also be found on the cell membrane, which allow cells to attach themselves in groups.
Cell Features
Within the cell membrane, the archaea cell contains cytoplasm and DNA, which are in single-looped forms called plasmids.
Most archaeal cells also have a semi-rigid cell wall that helps it to maintain its shape and chemical balance.
This protects the cytoplasm, which is the semi-liquid gel that fills the cell and enables the various parts to function.
STRUCTURE
Phospholipids
The molecules that make up cell membranes are called phospholipids, which act as building blocks for the cell.
In archaea, these molecules are made of glycerol-ether lipids.
Ether Bonding
The ether bonding makes it possible for archaea to survive in environments that are extremely acidic or al

• explain how evolutionary biologists discover evolutionary relationships.
Introduction
One of the most compelling pieces of evidence for evolution is that organisms have amazing similarities. An
example that almost everyone has heard before is that the limbs of birds, bats, horses, moles, cats, frogs,
humans, turtles, and other vertebrates have virtually the same skeletal plan. Furthermore, even snakes and
whales show structural remnants of the limbs of their ancestors. The evolutionary interpretation of these
similarities is that the vertebrate limb has been modified by natural selection to perform different functions
(for example, running, digging, flying). Another commonly used example is that the embryos of turtles,
mice, humans, chickens, and many other vertebrates are amazingly similar. Furthermore, the proteins and
DNA of organisms are remarkably similar. Why, do you suppose, can human diabetics use insulin extracted
from pigs to control their blood sugar levels? Well, the reason is that the chemical structure of human and
pig insulin is very similar.
In addition to these similarities, we discover that organisms that appear similar in one respect are often
similar in other respects (we can say the patterns are “concordant”). For example, organisms that are
similar morphologically (in shape) have similar protein structures. Organisms that are less similar
morphologically have less similar protein structures. This pattern holds for traits that are not easily
modified by evolution, but not so often by traits that are easily modified by selection. For example, flower
color might not be a good trait to use when looking for concordance because it is easily changed
genetically.
The concordance of traits is an important support of evolution. Imagine that we saw that organisms similar
in one set of characteristics were very different in a second set of characteristics and different again in a
third set of characteristics. This situation would be chaotic and we would be forced to question the reality
1
of evolution. The development of methods of DNA and protein analysis has shown dramatically that
organisms that are similar morphologically are also similar at the genetic level.
So, similarity among organisms provides evidence for evolution. We can then turn around and use the
similarities to try to reconstruct evolutionary relationships. That is the purpose of today’s lab: to construct a

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Microbial phylogeny
1. Microbial Phylogeny: Classification of species in
superior taxa and construction of phylogenetic trees based
on evolutionary relationships.
It is bringing order to the diverse variety of organisms present
in nature.
So there are two general ways the classification can
be constructed. First one is based on the
morphological characters (phenetic classification) and
second is based on evolutionary relationship
(phylogenetic classification)
Phenetic classification – It is based on the mutual
similarity of their phenotypic characteristics. It does not
provide any information about phylogenetic relations.
Phylogenetic classification- These systems are based on
evolutionary relationships rather than external appearance
.The term phylogeny [Greek phylon, tribe or race,
and genesis, generation or origin] refers to the evolutionary
development of a species. It is based on the direct comparison
of genetic materials and gene product.
2. Phylogenetic tree
Phylogenetic relationships are illustrated in the form of
branched diagrams or trees. A phylogenetic tree is a graph
made of branches that connect nodes. The nodes represent
taxonomic units such as species or genes; the external nodes,
those at the end of the branches, represent living organisms.
The tree may have a time scale, or the length of the branches
may represent the number of molecular changes that have
taken place between the two nodes. Finally, a tree may
be unrooted or rooted.
An unrooted tree simply represents phylogenetic relationships but
does not provide an evolutionary path. Figure (a) shows that A is
more closely related to C than it is to either B or D, but does not
specify the common ancestor for the four species or the direction of
change. In contrast, the rooted tree Figure (b) does give a node that
serves as the common ancestor and shows the development of the
four species from this root.
Fig. 1 . Phylogenetic tree. a) unrooted tree, b) rooted tree.
3. Domains
Advances in genomic DNA sequencing of the microorganisms,
biologists are increasingly adapting the classification of living
organisms that recognizes three domains, a taxonomic level higher
than kingdom. Archaebacteria are in one domain, eubacteria in a
second, and eukaryotes in the third. Domain Eukarya is subdivided
into four kingdoms plants, animals, fungi, protists.
Fig. 2 Three domains based on rRNA sequence analysis.
Domain- Archaebacteria
The term archaebacteria (Greek, archaio, ancient) refers to the
ancient origin of this group of bacteria, which seem to have diverged
very early from the eubacteria. They are inhabited mostly in extreme
environments. The archaebacteria are grouped (based primarily on
the environments in which they live) into three general categories
methanogens, extremophiles and non extreme Archaebacteria.
4. Domain- Bacteria
The Eubacteria are the most abundant organisms on earth. It plays
critical roles like cycling carbon and sulfur. Much of the world's
photosynthesis is carried out by eubacteria. However, certain groups
of eubacteria are also responsible for many forms of disease.
Domain- Eukarya
It consists of four kingdoms. The first of which is protista, mostly
unicellular organism like amoeba. The other three kingdoms are
plants, fungi, animals. Multicellularity and sexuality are the two
unique characters that differentiate from prokaryote and eukaryotes.

PHYLOGENIC RELATIONSHIP DETERMINING
TECHNIQUE:
A)Parsimony Analysis
Phylogenetic relationships also can be estimated by techniques such
as parsimony analysis. In this approach, relationships are determined
by estimating the minimum number of sequence changes required to
give the final sequences being compared. It is presumed that
evolutionary change occurs along the shortest pathway with the
fewest changes or steps from an ancestor to the organism in question.
5. B)Molecular chronometers
This concept, first suggested by Zuckerkandl and Pauling (1965),
which is based on thought that the sequences of many rRNAs and
proteins gradually change over time without destroying or
severely altering their functions. Changes increases with time linearly.
If sequences of similar molecules from two organisms differs, it means
that they diverged very long time ago.
C)Oligonucleotide signature sequences
The 16S rRNA of most major phylogenetic groups has one or more
characteristic nucleotide sequences called oligonucleotide
signatures. Oligonucleotide signature sequences are specific
oligonucleotide sequences that occur in most or all members of a
particular phylogenetic group. They are rarely or never present in
other groups, even closely related ones. Thus signature sequences can
be used to place microorganisms in the proper group.
Polyphasic Taxonomy
Studying phylogeny based on both genotypic and phenotypic
information ranging from molecular characteristics to
ecological characters.
