Evolution By Perri, Marina and Chloe
Charles Darwin was the father of evolution • Wrote a book • On the Origins of Species • Buried next to Isaac Newton
American geologist • He studied landforms and how the Earth changed over time
Thomas Malthus was a sociologist, scientist, and a politician. • He studied why some people survived disease and some didn’t. • (Survival of the Fittest)
He immediately came up with the same exact conclusions as Darwin • Darwin contacts Wallace - they work together and publish articles independently and together
Descent with modification • New organism forms due to the accumulation of mutations over millions of years • New species evolved • Natural Selection • Nature selects the stronger and more desirable and those traits are then passed down to their offspring • Beneficial mutation
The remains of a formerly existing creature from a long time ago
A timeline of when organisms existed in relationships to other organisms
What are the two ways to determine how something is relative to something else?
Relative dating - this is older/younger than that without a timeframe • Absolute dating - carbon dating pinpoints a more specific time period • Half Life - the amount of time it takes for half an element to break down and disappear • Ex. Carbone has a life of 5,730 years
When the last living member of a species dies • There are no more of that certain species
Structures that look the same but are different • Ex: Cats front foot and human hand • This suggests a common ancestor
They look different but do the same thing • Ex: Birds, bees, butterflies all have wings but don’t look alike • They do not have a common ancestor
Structure in the body that was used at one time in the past but no longer is used during current time Ex. appendix, and tail bone in humans
The natural or expected differences within 1 type of organisms • EX: size and height
The idea that nature chooses what is more desirable vs. selection by organisms to support or not support living • EX: teacup poodles
Antibiotics can cause medications to work in the future because organisms adapt to them (natural variation) • Bacteria has natural variation and it changes depending on their environment • Pesticides work in a similar way • farmers use them on crops • Some insects can withstand the pesticides
The formation of new species due to the accumulation of mutations
A huge impediment to evolution and reproduction • Location makes it difficult to breed
When two organisms are capable of breeding but due to timing differences in the reproductive cycle, they do not breed with each other • Ex. Skunks and cranes
The movement or change in genes from one generation to the next • EX: eye color in Sweden (prone to blue eyes)
Life can be found in the most extreme environments • Wherever something can live, something will live • Ex. Hawaii/ albatross
When a disease or natural disaster wipes out a significant amount of the population, it creates a smaller gene pool and some genes are lost forever EX: beads in a bottle, stuck in the bottom
What is the difference between disruptive, directional, and stabilizing selection?
Stabilizing - favors the average • Directional - favors one extreme or the other • Disruptive - favors both extremes at the same time
The measuring of pros and cons to determine a course of action
