Evolution Biology RiverDell High School Ms. C. Militano
I. Evidence of EvolutionA. Fossils 1. definition - trace or remains of organisms that are preserved 2. types a. mold (rock imprint) b. cast (mold that is filled) c. petrified d. preserved in amberor tar pits
I. Evidence of EvolutionA. Fossils 3. location a. sedimentary rock b. amber or tar pits 4. distribution a.Law of Superposition(Steno 1638-1686) 1) relative age 2) absolute age b. biogeography
Law of Superposition – younger fossils are closer to the surface – older fossils are deeper
I. Evidence of EvolutionB. Comparative Anatomy 1. homologous structures a. similar structure, evolution, development b. wing, arm, flipper) 2. analogous structures a. similar function b. wing of a bird and an insect
I. Evidence of EvolutionB. Comparative Anatomy 3. vestigial structures a. useful in past organisms but not now b. appendix, tail vertebrae, ear muscles
Vestigial Structures Appendix in Humans Leg Bones in a Whale
I. Evidence of EvolutionC. Embryology Similarities 1. Haeckel(1834-1919) [German] a. “ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny” 1) embryo undergoes changes that repeat evolutionary development
Diagram Showing Similarities in Early Stages of Embryo Development
I.Evidence of EvolutionD. Biochemistry 1. similarity in amino acids in specific proteins 2. similarity in RNA and DNA base sequences
Comparing Amino Acid Differences of Several Organisms to Humans
II. Theories of EvolutionA. Lamark (1744-1829) 1. Acquired traits – traits that develop during one generation can be passed to the next generation 2. Law of Use and Disuse – if a trait is not used it will be lost
Lamarck and Law of Use and Disuse • According to Lamarck the giraffes pictured grew longer necks in order to reach the leaves in taller trees • The longer necks were then passed to the next generation
II. Theories of EvolutionB. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) 1. Biography a. Darwin attended medical school b. studied to be a clergyman c. 22 years old - signed on HMS Beagle 1) collect specimens as a naturalist 2) refined data for 21 years
II. Theories of EvolutionB. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) 2. The Origin of Species (1859) a.Descent with modification 1) all species descend from a small number of original types 2) there is variation among organisms
II. Theories of EvolutionB. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) b. Modification by Selection 1) environment limits growth of populations -competition for life’s necessities -specific traits are selected 2) adaptive advantage - trait favorable for a given environment - adaptations make some organisms more likely to survive than others
II. Theories of EvolutionB. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) 3) fitness - ability of an organism to make a genetic contribution to the next generation 4) natural selection allows individuals with survival adaptations to pass traits to offspring
II. Theories of EvolutionB. Charles Darwin(1809-1882) 5) speciation - formation of new species as favorable adaptations accumulate 6) “survival of the fittest” - those organisms with favorable traits reproduce and pass their traits to future generations
III. Patterns of EvolutionA. Coevolution 1. changes in two or more species closely associated 2. examples a. predator and prey b. parasite and host c. plants and plant pollinators
III. Patterns of Evolution B. Convergent Evolution 1. similar phenotypes are selected but ancestors are very different a. natural selection of analogous structures 2. examples a. wings in insects and birds b.fins & shape of sharks, fish, porpoise
III. Patterns of EvolutionC. Divergent Evolution 1. two or more related populations or species become more dissimilar a. speciation - new species may form 2. example geographic isolation a. brown bear polar bear
III. Patterns of EvolutionC. Divergent Evolution 3. adaptive radiation a. many species evolve from same ancestor 1) ancestor migrates to different environments (example) - Galapagos finches
IV. Variation in Populations A. Distribution of variations 1. graph is a bell curve B. Natural Selection and Changes in Populations 1. Stabilizing Selection– favors average form 2. Directional Selection– average shifts to one extreme or the other 3. Disruptive Selection – extreme forms are favored- number of individuals withtheaverage form is reduced
IV. Variation in PopulationsC. Genetic Sources of Variation 1. Mutations a) a specific gene mutates in 1/10,0000 gametes b) thousands of genes in each gamete c) some mutations in every zygote d) most mutations are recessive
IV. Variation in PopulationsC. Genetic Sources of Variation 2. Genetic Recombination a) random meeting of sperm and egg b) crossing over c) independent assortment 3. Genetic Drift a) occurs in small populations b) elimination of some genes by chance c) may decrease variation
IV. Variation in PopulationsC. Genetic Sources of Variation 4. Non-random Mating 5. Migration a) immigration- movement into an area or population b) emigration – movement out of an area or population
IV. Variation in PopulationsD. Genetic Equilibrium 1. Hardy-Weinberg Principle a) allele frequencies are stable across generations b) sexual reproduction alone does not affect genetic equilibrium 2. Conditions Necessary a) no immigration b) no mutations c) no natural selection d)large populations e) random mating
IV. Variation in PopulationsE. Mathematics/Hardy Weinberg 1. gene pool - all the genes in a population 2. allele frequency - % occurrence of a specific allele in a population 3. phenotype frequency - % occurrence of an individual in a population with a trait 4. genotype frequency - % occurrence of individuals in a population with a specific genotype
IV. Variation in PopulationsE. Mathematics/Hardy Weinberg 5. applying mathematics a) p = frequency of the dominant allele q = frequency of the recessive allele b) p + q = 1 c) p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
IV. Variation in PopulationsE. Mathematics/Hardy Weinberg d) q2 = recessive phenotype/genotype frequency p2+2pq = dominant phenotype frequency p2 = pure dominant genotype frequency 2pq= heterozygous genotype frequency
