DSJ #2 – DO ON PAGE 4 What is natural selection and how does it contribute to evolution?
Chapter 22 Descent with Modification: A Darwinian View of Life
Concept 22.2 • Essential knowledge: 1.a.1 Natural selection is a major mechanism of evolution
England • EUROPE • NORTH • AMERICA • ATLANTIC • OCEAN • PACIFIC • OCEAN • Galápagos • Islands • HMS Beagle in port • AFRICA • SOUTH • AMERICA • Darwin in 1840, • after his return • AUSTRALIA • Cape of • Good Hope • Andes • Tasmania • Cape Horn • New • Zealand • Tierra del Fuego • Figure 22.5
Darwin’s Focus on Adaptation • As Darwin reassessed all that he had observed during the voyage of the Beagle • He began to perceive adaptation to the environment and the origin of new species as closely related processes • Adaptations • New species
From studies made years after Darwin’s voyage • Biologists have concluded that this is indeed what happened to the Galápagos finches • (a) Cactus eater. The long,sharp beak of the cactusground finch (Geospizascandens) helps it tearand eat cactus flowersand pulp. • (c) Seed eater. The large groundfinch (Geospiza magnirostris)has a large beak adapted forcracking seeds that fall fromplants to the ground. • Figure 22.6a–c • (b) Insect eater. The green warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea) uses itsnarrow, pointed beak to grasp insects.
The Origin of Species • Darwin developed two main ideas • 1: Evolution explains life’s unity and diversity • 2: Natural selection is a cause of adaptive evolution
Descent with Modification • The phrase descent with modification • States that all organisms are related through descent from an ancestor that lived in the remote past
Sirenia • (Manatees • and relatives) • Loxodonta • africana • (Africa) • Elephas • maximus • (Asia) • Loxodonta • cyclotis • (Africa) • Hyracoidea • (Hyraxes) • the history of life is like a tree • Years ago • Stegodon • Mammut • Mammuthus • Deinotherium • Platybelodon • Millions of years ago • Barytherium • Moeritherium • Figure 22.7
Observation #1: For any species, population sizes would increase exponentially • If all individuals that are born reproduced successfully • Figure 22.8
Observation #2: Nonetheless, populations tend to be stable in size • Except for seasonal fluctuations • Observation #3: Resources are limited • Inference #1: Production of more individuals than the environment can support • Leads to a struggle for existence among individuals of a population, with only a fraction of their offspring surviving
Observation #4: Members of a population vary extensively in their characteristics • No two individuals are exactly alike • Figure 22.9
Observation #5: Much of this variation is heritable • Inference #2: Survival depends in part on inherited traits • Individuals whose inherited traits give them a high probability of surviving and reproducing are likely to leave more offspring than other individuals
Inference #3: This unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce • Will lead to a gradual change in a population, with favorable characteristics accumulating over generations
Artificial Selection • Lateral • buds • Terminal • bud • In the process of artificial selection • Humans have modified other species over many generations by selecting and breeding individuals that possess desired traits • Brussels sprouts • Cabbage • Flower • cluster • Leaves • Cauliflower • Kale • Flower • and • stems • Stem • Broccoli • Kohlrabi • Wild mustard • Figure 22.10
Summary of Natural Selection • Natural selection is differential success in reproduction • results from the interaction between individuals that have different heritable traits and their environment
(a) A flower mantidin Malaysia • Natural selection can produce an increase over time • In the adaptation of organisms to their environment • (b) A stick mantidin Africa • Figure 22.11
If an environment changes over time • Natural selection may result in adaptation to these new conditions
Group Work • In your groups, answer 22.2 concept check questions 1 and 2 in your notebook on pg. 7a
Notebook Art • Using the textbook, find a chapter that seems interesting to you and copy one of the figures in that chapter
Homework • take notes on 23.1 (454-458) and 23.3 (460-462) notebook pg. 8b • (yes you have an extra day to get these notes done! This does not happen often!!)
