Question
In a theory proposed by Pierre Forterre, the emergence of these taxonomic ranks from LUCA (“loo-kah”) was caused as a response to three separate infection events of different viral lineages. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this taxonomic rank more general than kingdom and consisting of archaea, bacteria, and eukarya.
ANSWER: domains [or dominions; accept superkingdoms; accept realms; accept empires; accept three viruses, three domains theory]
[10h] In 2004, Raoult et al. discovered that each domain is interspersed between viral clades and reported that eukarya are closer related to these giant viruses than archaea. These giant viruses are named for their resemblance to bacteria.
ANSWER: Mimivirus [accept Bradfordcoccus; accept Acanthamoeba polphaga mimivirus or APMV; prompt on mimicking microbes]
[10m] This scientist proposed that each domain emerged once each lineage stopped drawing from a universal gene exchange pool. This biologist was the first to reconstruct a universal phylogeny based on ribosomal RNA sequences.
ANSWER: Carl Woese [or Carl Richard Wösenkraft]
