4/30-5/1 • 2nd period- review the power point • Galapagos questions? • 2nd, 5th, 7th= have evodots out • Presentations! • Review Natural selection • Evidence of evolution project (due at end of class) • HW: Natural selection WS
Review Evo-Dots & The “rules” of natural selection. • So, what does this simulation show us? • Review KEY POINTS
Natural Selection Abridged • Everyone wants to reproduce • They don’t • They can’t • There is competition • Individuals are different*** • Differences are hereditary*** • The individuals with the best genes win • The best genes become more common *** major differences from Lamarck
Natural Selection • Rule 2-Variation must exist (mutations, changes in gene expression, sexual reproduction) • Even slight advantages in reproduction cause populations to change • So small changes are constantly occurring
We call these favorable traits adaptations a.) adaptations are: characteristics that increase an organism’s chance for survival. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/01/1/l_011_03.html
Traits that help individuals survive and reproduce become more common • Complex traits take a long time • A) The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment is called its fitness.
a.) “Survival of the Fittest” - individuals that are best suited to their environment will survive and reproduce more often. a.) not “strong” just better adapted.
What is Advantageous Depends on the Environment (3rd rule selective) • White moths were common in London before industrial evolution • After- soot covers most of the city and black moths become common
How do we know this is plausible? • We have created many new species by selecting which ones reproduce
Subtlety in Natural Selection • Individuals don’t necessarily TRY to survive or reproduce • Genes that contribute to success become common, but genes must already be present • New traits come from mutations
Natural Selection and Spider Reproduction • In some spider species the male leaps into the jaws of the female • He is killed and eaten but his sperm reaches the female • Genes that contribute to this behavior have become common because they get passed on
Is Evolution Random? • NO! • Mutations are random, but which mutations become common are not • Like saying the design of Medicines are random.
Remember: Natural Selection can only be observed as changes in a population over many generations. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/_0/evo_25 Evo/pbshttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/11/2/e_s_4.html
The Evidence for Evolution • In Class research & presentation creation (~40 minutes) • Presentation next class (stay after school if you need to finish. Do not leave the completion to 1 person!) • SHARE the power point with me on google drive. (Allow me edits) • CONFIRM I received it and it opens. • BEFORE YOU LEAVE DO A MURKIE! • HW: Natural selection WS
5/2-5/5 • 1- check in HW- • please review your answers with your table mates • Questions on the HW? • PAPERS BACK! (2nd period) • 2- presentations: evidence for evolution • Take notes and ask questions! • 3-Begin next section of evolution • Please do a murkie today! • HW- Quiz: History, natural selection, evidence
Presentations • Make sure you are taking notes! • If you feel like you don’t understand…ask questions. • This information is in he book if you want more information. • Email me if you have a question. • Finally, there is an optional worksheet on-line about evidence for evolution.
DNA and Variation in a POPULATION • Recall GENES which are segments of DNA that code for a protein which then becomes a trait. • Since variationis the result of different alleles, we can measure this change by measuring changes in allele frequency which in turn cause changes in the frequency of genotypes and thus phenotypes. • What would that look like if we could watch it happen???
Takin’ a dip in the gene pool! • Or…Changes in Allele frequencies and the effects on a population simulation! • This scenario will take a minimum of a block. You will start today and will have HW depending on different factors…
HWdue 5/6(A)-7(B) • Part A: • Allele freq • Graph • Questions for part A only
5/6-7 • Quiz • After quiz Have out Part A • review with your table • Questions? • Today part B - C • HW5/8-9- part B-C
PART C: graph • Please use a ruler. • Have axis labeled with unit • Have a title • Bar graph • Have scale out of 1.0 • You will be graded on this one for detail. • You will turn in AFTER we discuss.
5/8-9 • Presentations • Have Frequency Allele packet on desk for check in (only questions). • Have frequency Allele Discussion HW worksheet out for me to check in. • Papers back- want to know what it was out of? Check the HW web site • Mini Lecture- allele frequencies take notes • Class Work: Practice allele frequencies • Start the homework: bookwork worksheet due Tuesday 5/14 • QUIZ Thursday 5/16
Allele Frequencies review • As we learned in our allele frequency simulation, populations that are not evolving are said to be in equilibrium. • This means that allele frequencies for traits are not changing from one generation to the next in a population. • For this (no change in allele frequencies) to occur in a population, 5 conditions must be met. They are:
Random Mating: All members of a population have equal opportunity to produce offspring and thus an equal chance of passing on alleles. • Large Population • No movement in or out of a population: Individuals bring new alleles into the gene pool. • No mutation: Can introduce new alleles and change the relative frequency. • No natural selection: All of the genotypes must have an equal probability of survival, thus no phenotype can have an advantage. 2.) If any of these are not met: allele frequencies change and the population is EVOLVING.

B.) In addition to the idea of equilibrium that Hardy and Weinberg proposed, they also came up with an equation that allows us to not only calculate allele frequencies but also predict frequencies!
http://anthro.palomar.edu/synthetic/synth_2.htm Godfrey Hardy(1877-1947) English Mathematician Wilhelm Weinberg(1862-1937) German Physician 1.) The Hardy-Weinberg Equation: p = dominant allele frequency q = recessive allele frequency p + q = 1 1 – q = p 1 – p = q p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
3.) Notice that the Hardy-Weinberg Equation allows us to figure out genotype and allele frequencies. With this information, we can look at the change in allele frequencies over time in a population and gather numerical data on EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE! • H-W frequency allele practice • - complete in class. You may ask your table for help and me
How does genetics redefine evolution? 1. In genetic terms: any change in the relative frequencies of alleles in a population’s gene pool over successive generations. a. If allele frequencies change, then genotype frequencies change and we should SEE a change in phenotype in a population.
5/14 • Have book work out • Review • 1st ½ of block: Lecture/video clips • 2nd ½ block: species! What does it REALLY mean???
REVIEW! • Where are we in Evolution and how did we get here??? • 1. Misconceptions of Evolution • 2. Brief history of theory development. • 3. Natural Selection & how it works. • 4. Evidence for Evolution • Fossils, biochemistry, comparative anatomy, artificial selection • 5. Population Genetics • Allele frequency, genetic equilibrium & H-W equations
What’s Next? • Factors that Affect a gene pool: • Variation: Mutations, sexual recombination + crossing over • Population size: bigger is better! • Genetic drift • Bottle neck & Founders effect • Gene flow • Sexual selection • MicroEvolution: • Types of Natural Selection • Speciation!!!
I.) Sources of Variation in Populations’ Gene Pools A.) mutation - any change in organisms’ DNA. • Some can change an organism’s phenotype and this can affect its fitness (positively OR negatively).
B.) Gene “Shuffling” during Meiosis 1.) independent assortment: Chromosomes line up independently of each other. a.) This can result in different phenotypes as alleles are put in different combinations in different gametes. 2.) Crossing over - exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes. a.) Again, this results in many different allele combinations and possibly different phenotypes.
C.) Be Aware! Sexual reproduction does not change the frequency of alleles in a gene pool, it just mixes them around and this can produce new phenotypes. (This is just like shuffling a deck of cards!)
Large population: • A larger population has more variation. • It is better able to cope with lose of individuals especially on a large scale. • Lose ½ of 10,000 vs lose ½ of 1000.
A.) Genetic Drift - random changes in allele frequency in small populations. 1.) Individuals that carry a particular allele may leave more offspring by chance. Think probability: over time, this can cause an allele to become more common in a population.
2.) This can occur due to: a.) Founders effect: when a small group of organisms founds a new population, they many have different relative frequencies of alleles than the larger population they came from. i.) If so, the population they start can be quite different from their original population.
Section 16-2 Sample of Original Population Founding Population A Descendants Founding Population B
b.) Bottleneck effect: occurs when a small population is left behind after a disaster/disturbance and has different relative frequencies than original population.
C.) Gene flow: the movement of alleles from one population to another – due to immigration/emigration.
B.) Nonrandom mating which can be termed sexual selection. 1.) Individuals in population choose mates based on certain traits. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/01/6/l_016_09.html
D.) Review: a change in genes (allele freq) that produces a phenotype that is favorable (increases fitness) in a particular environment leads to natural selection (survive or not in that env) and thus Evolution!
