EVOLUTION
5
Jean-Baptiste Lamark : 1744-1829 most famous for incorrectly theorizing on the process of evolution He thought that as a giraffe stretches its neck to reach for food, its neck grows longer; this trait is passed to offspring did not realize that acquired traits are not genetic
6
SPECIATION : the development of a new species Sometimes the variation among organisms is too great; eventually they could become separate species
7
SPECIES: a population of organisms that can produce fertile offspring able to reproduce
8
HORSE – Equus caballus DONKEY – Equus assinus MULE X
9
GEOGRAPHIC Isolation : two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, bodies of water, etc. Ex: Albert Squirrel and Kaibab Squirrel
10
PANGAEA : a supercontinent that formed over 300 million years ago Began separating 200 million years ago Continents continue to shift today
11
BEHAVIORAL Isolation : two groups of a population exhibit different behaviors which separate the population Ex: Eastern Meadowlarks & Western Meadowlarks have different mating songs
12
TEMPORAL Isolation : two groups of a population exhibit different times of breeding Ex: flowers blooming in different seasons
13
REPRODUCTIVE Isolation : the DNA of two species is too different to produce fertile offspring Ex: horse and donkeys produce non-fertile mules
14
DIVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of different features from similar lineages
15
DIVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of different features from similar lineages
16
DIVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of different features from similar lineages
17
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of similar features from different lineages
18
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of similar features from different lineages
19
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of similar features from different lineages
20
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION : evolution of similar features from different lineages
22
DIVERGENT same becomes different CONVERGENT different becomes same
