4:2 Students will relate adaptability of an organism in an environment to their inherited traits and structures
Darwin1820English, natural scientist • Why are organisms different? • Why are organisms similar? • Why are there so many different types of organisms?
CAMOUFLAGE ? MIMICRY ? Traits that provide an advantage for survival in one environment but not other environments Predator adaptation-helps capture prey Prey adaptation-avoids predators
What are these acting like? Walking stick Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillar
ANTIFREEZE FISH ADAPTATIONS (traits that allow for survival): ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH • SLOW HEARTBEAT 1@6SEC. • LIVES 40 YEARS • 200 LBS. • PROTEIN THAT ACTS LIKE ANTIFREEZE!
Traits Inherited Acquired
Natural selection • Some variation in inherited traits within the species • Some of these traits will give an advantage over others in surviving and reproducing • These will be more likely to have more offspring
Why so many species • Increases the chance that at least some organisms adapt and survive any major changes in the environment.
Artificial selection (manmade) Dog breeds Milk producers
Reproductive isolation Allopatric-Geographic Sympatric-Behavior
Structure and survival Buoyancy needs less structural support
Structural adaptations for flight Structural Wings and hollow bones Behavioral Migration
Structural adaptations Internal skeleton Exoskeleton
Egg laying vs. live birth Egg has nutrients until birth Easier to lay eggs than carry that many Protects from predators Maintains constant temp. for survival
