Document Summary

Biology 1002b - independent study outcomes & lecture outcomes. Independent study outcomes: identify criteria used to measure complexity. Genome size or the total number of genes in an organism. Gene (copy) number or the number of copies of a gene in a given gene family resulting from gene duplication. Increase in the size of organisms over the course of evolution. The number of parts or units in an organism (where parts might be segments, organs, tissues, and so forth) The number of cell types possessed by an organism. Increased compartmentalization, specialization, or subdivision of function over the course of evolution. The number of gene, gene networks or cell-to-cell interactions required to form the parts or an organism. The number of interactions between the parts of an organism, reflecting increasing functional complexity and/or integration over the course of evolution: identify the main structural components of chlamydomonas cells.
