Exam #3 Th 12/6 in class • Quiz over last material is posted • Homework #4 is due now
Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.
Evolution: changes in DNA as information transmitted O O O Bacteria with mutation causing resistance O O O O O O O O Apply antibiotic Continues to replicate O X X X O O O X X X O O O O O O O O O O O X X X X O O O O Kills most bacteria. Except if some have mutation that allow them to be resistant. O O O O Population of resistant bacteria
Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.
DNA is passed from generation to generation, and therefore can tell us about relationships between individuals.
Human DNA is divided into 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
X 23 in humans X 23 in humans X 23 in humans Each of us are a combination of DNA from mom and dad.
Mom provides 50.000275%andDad provides 49.999825% of DNA to offspring. … because Mom provides 100% of mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA comparisons can be used to trace ancestry:
As DNA is passed on mutations take place Fig 1 and 4
By determining the average time between mutations, we can estimate the time of the last common ancestor. Fig 4
The mutation rate in human mtDNA is one nucleotide change per 20,000 years. OR A difference of one nucleotide between two people indicates a common relative 10,000 years ago. Fig 4

The nervous system allows us to perceive the environment while the brain integrates the incoming signals to determine an appropriate response.
Input to brain is filtered. What are you paying attention to?
