  1. Warm-up 2/13: • What is Struggle to Survive? • Give an Example. • Why is struggle to survive key to Natural Selection? • Give two examples of Evidence that scientist have to support evolution. (You should have learned some in middle school) EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTIONChapter 15-2Review of 15-3Unit 8 Part 2: Notes #1

  2. Evolution defined… • Evolution of a population is due to environment and the interactionof other species • Evolution acts on phenotype, not genotype

  3. Speed Review:Examples of Evolution • Convergent evolution: Organisms with very different ancestors become more alike due to a common environment • Ex. fish and whales- compare analogous structures

  4. Divergent evolution: populations become more and more dissimilar to adapt to the environment-compare homologous structures • Appearance of birds with different sized beaks that are specific for size of bird seed

  5. Adaptive radiation • Population undergoes divergent evolution until it fills all areas of the environment

  6. Co-evolution: as one species evolves another does (parasites and hosts)

  7. EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTIONNew Notes Chapter 15-2

  8. Evolution defined… • Evolution is a process of gradualmodifications • Darwin called this descent with modification

  9. Many animals and plants shared common ancestors and deviated from that common ancestor overtime Organism 1 Ancestor Organism 2

  10. Phylogenesis – the evolutionary development and diversification of a species or group of organisms Phylogenic Tree

  11. Fossils • Fossils provide geologic evidence of evolution • Fossils in older layers are more primitive than those in the upper layers

  12. Transitional Species: • Descent with modification states that newer • species are modified versions of older • species • - Fossil record contains the intermediates

  13. Anatomy • Vestigial organs - a group of organs with no particular use now but may have been useful in ancestors (tailbone coccyx or hip bones in whales)

  14. Anatomy cont. • HomologousStructures: body parts that are similar in structure may have different functions • Indicating at some point way in the past they did the same job and came from a common ancestor

  15. Anatomycont. • Analogous Structures:same functions but different development • ex. a butterfly wing and a bat wing • Indicates that populations evolved to be better suited to the environment

  16. Homework • Whales in Transition. • Chromebook Assignments: Make sure that both Assignments are in Assignment Folder & The survey is completed. • Syllabus Scavenger Hunt • Peppered Moth Lab

  17. Warm-up 2/18 • What is the difference between Homologous and Analogous Structures? • Which shows divergent evolution and which shows convergent evolution? • What is differential reproduction? • Make sure to glue Whales in Transition into your notebook. Evidence for Evolution Part b (continuation of Thursday’s notes)

  18. Biogeography • Certain animals in one location share similar traits (I.E. marsupials in Australia)

  19. Embryology • Similar likenesses in embryos of organisms is evidence of descent with modification

  20. Biological Molecules DNA  RNA Proteins • Similar proteins means similar DNA • The longer it’s been since they shared a common ancestor the more differences in protein

  21. Classwork/Homework • Evidence for Evolution flipbook. • Due Friday • We will also have a quiz on Friday.
