Presentation Transcript

  1. BIO 110, Life Science Summer 2012

  2. Genetic populations • Genetic diversity over time • Genetic drift • Gene flow • Effects of selection • What this means for speciation

  3. Phylogeny • Genealogy of asexual reproduction • Genealogy of sexual reproduction • Genealogy of species (= phylogeny)

  4. How do we discern relationship? • Every organism contains within it traces of its entire evolutionary history • Homology: similarity based on common descent • Homoplasy: false homology • Called “analogy” in the text; analogy is a specific kind of homoplasy

  5. Reconstructing phylogeny • Shared unique homology • Monophyletic group = clade • Looking at tetrapods

  6. Amphibians tetrapodlimb lactation, 4-ch heart, hair Mammals shell Turtles amnion Lizards no limbs Snakes Crocodiles 4-ch heart feathers Birds
