52. Regulatory Mechanisms ensure balance in Life

53. Regulatory Mechanisms
Negative feedback- accumulation of product inhibits production of product

54. Regulatory Mechanisms
Positive feedback- accumulation of product enhances production of product.

55. EVOLUTION, UNITY, DIVERSITY

56. EVOLUTION IS THE CORE THEME
Species change over time

57. EVOLUTION IS THE CORE THEME
Species change over time
Populations have potential to produce more offspring than can be supported.

58. EVOLUTION IS THE CORE THEME
Species change over time
Populations have potential to produce more offspring than can be supported.
Natural selection

59. EVOLUTION IS THE CORE THEME
Similar species share a common ancestor on phylogenic tree
All life connected and traced back to prokaryotes

60. Diversity of all life - Taxonomy- Unity of all life-
EVOLUTION, UNITY, DIVERSITY
Diversity of all life -

Unity of all life-

61. Scientific Processes 1. Asking a question
John Endler Univ of Cal - why is there a significant difference in populations of guppies regarding average age and sexual maturity?

62. Scientific Processes 2. Hypothesis -
testable, tentative explanation for what we observe.
Could it be the predator which preys predominately on the population?

63. Scientific Processes
3. Prediction - if/then (If the hypothesis is true, then the results of the experiment will be…)
IF, guppies from Pike-Cichlid pools are introduced to new pools th,at contain only killifish THEN, the average age and size at maturity will be heavierand older than nontransplanted individuals

64. Scientific Processes 4. Testing the validity of the hypothesis
Control Group - the group not moved
Experimental Group - the group that was moved to the pool with only killifish, and no guppies

65. Scientific Processes
5. Conclusion
