What can be concluded about the dates of 2 fossil layers? A. the fossil that is on top is the oldest B. the fossil that is on top is the newest C. all fossil layers are the same age D. it cannot be concluded which fossils are oldest 3. Oxygen was not present in the early atmosphere. Which of the following describes the first organisms that lived in this environment? A. homologous B. vestigial C. anaerobic D. aerobic TIME REMAINING: 2:00 MINUTES

Evolution: Change Over Time
14
In order for evolution to happen, you need…. VSIT Variation Selection Inheritance Time
15
Variation S I T Difference between individuals Stands for… Means…
16
VSelection I T Individuals with “good” traits will survive and reproduce more Stands for… Means…
17
V SInheritance T Genes are passed from parent to child Stands for… Means…
18
V S ITime MANY generations Stands for… Means…
19
What does selection mean?
20
Vocabulary an inherited trait that increases an organisms chance of survival and reproduction the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment Adaptation Fitness
21
Differences among individuals When there is variation, some individuals will have better fitness (good genes) Variation
22
Natural Selection Natural Selection: Organisms best suited to their environment as a result of good genes survive and reproduce. Natural Selection = reproduction (and survival) of the fittest
23
Natural Selection is WHY Darwin’s finches matched their environment Natural Selection
24
Big beak Survives longer Reproduces more Passes on more genes Big beaks become more common This process is an example of NATURAL SELECTION! EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION In an environment with BIG SEEDS… = adaptation
25
Small beak Survives longer Reproduces more Passes on more genes Small beaks become more common This process is an example of NATURAL SELECTION! EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION In an environment with SMALL SEEDS… = adaptation
26
Natural Selection Needs... VSIT Variation Selection Inheritance Time
27
Camouflag e Survives longer Reproduces more Passes on more genes Camouflage becomes more common This process is an example of NATURAL SELECTION! EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION In an environment with PREDATORS = adaptation
28
Adaptations
29
Adaptation An inherited trait that increases an organism’s chance of survival and reproduction Organisms adapt to their environment
30
Adaptations in animals Mimicry Camouflage Adaptations in plants Coevolution Outline
31
Mimicry Mimicry: an adaptation that allows one species to look like a more dangerous species Predators are less likely to attack a mimic
32
Mimicry Mimicry Coral Snake vs Scarlet King Snake
33
Camouflage Camouflage: an adaptation that allows a species to blend in with its surroundings so predators cannot see it Predators are less likely to find a camouflaged animal

37
Plant Adaptations Plant Structure Leaves adapt to a plants environment Example 1: plants that live on the rainforest floor (so get little light) have broad, flat leaves to capture as much light as possible
38
Plant Adaptations Plant Structure Leaves adapt to a plants environment Example 2: cactus that live in the desert (so get little water) have spines for leaves to keep from losing water
39
Plant Adaptations Plant Feeding Carnivorous plants have adaptations that let them eat animals Example: pitcher plants
40
Coevolution Coevolution: species that rely on each other adapt to each other
41
Example: the cardinal flower and the hummingbird The tube in the cardinal flower is the same length as the beak of they hummingbird. They are adapted to each other! Coevolution
42
Exit Ticket What is natural selection? What is an adaptation? What is the difference between camouflage and mimicry? Provide an example of of each (camouflage and mimicry). What is coevolution? Provide and example of coevolution.
