AIM What is Evolution?
2
Evolutionary Theory They are distinctly different from earlier forms
Process of change in species over a long time They are distinctly different from earlier forms
3
Proof of Evolution Fossils provide clues to the history of earth’s organisms
4
Proof of Evolution DNA Analysis (Gel Electrophoresis)
5
What did organisms evolve from?
Multi-cellular Unicellular
6
Crossing-over during meiosis when gametes are formed
How do organisms acquire new traits so evolution can occur over many years? Crossing-over during meiosis when gametes are formed Mutations in gametes (Sperm or egg)
7
Recombination in Gametes
Crossover (Sorting) during meiosis (Meiosis- special cell division when gametes are formed)
8
Mutation in Gametes Base pair sequence change
Change passed on to offspring
9
Leads to Variety Sexual Reproduction Mutations
(Crossover during meiosis) Mutations
10
Variation in Dogs
11
Variation in Ladybugs
12
Variation in Frogs
13
Variation in Finches
14
Passed to Offspring Mutations passed to offspring when they occur in gametes(sperm or egg)
15
1.Which phrase best defines evolution?
1.an adaptation of an organism to its environment 2.a sudden replacement of one community by another 3.a geographic or reproductive isolation of organisms 4.a process of change in organisms over a period of time
16
2.Which two factors provide the genetic basis for variation within a species?
1.asexual reproduction and geographic isolation 2.mutations and sexual reproduction 3.competition and protein synthesis 4.constant gene frequency and reproductive isolation
17
3.As a result of sexual reproduction, an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in 1.a body cell 2.a gamete 3.liver tissue 4.white blood cells
18
Aim How does evolution occur?
19
Struggle for Existence
Members of each species compete for food, living space and the necessities of life A finite supply of resources
20
Fitness The member that is better fit will survive.
Fitness-The ability to survive
21
Adaptation An inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance for survival Quills
22
Example-Adaptation Long tongue lizard is better adapted than a lizard with a short tongue.
23
Survival of the Fittest
Individuals that are better suited to their environment - survive and reproduce more successfully
24
Natural Selection Survival of the fittest is also referred to as
Environment changes first, those best adapted survive
25
Adaptations Beneficial traits will be passed on to offspring
(More frequency) Unfavorable traits will be less common
26
Favorable Traits Camouflage
Those best adapted pass on favorable adaptations to their offspring Higher frequency of favorable traits are passed along to offspring increasing chances for survival of the species Camouflage
27
1.In most populations, the individuals that produce the greatest number of offspring are
1.always the strongest 2.usually the best adapted 3.those that have only recessive traits 4.those that are the most intelligent
28
2.According to modern evolutionary theory, genes responsible for new traits that help a species survive in a particular environment will usually 1.not change in frequency 2.decrease gradually in frequency 3.decrease rapidly in frequency 4.increase in frequency
29
3.Even though the environment changes, a population that occupies a given geographic area will most likely continue to be found in this area if the 1.variations in the population decrease over time 2.members of the population decrease in number 3.members of the population exceed the carrying capacity 4.population passes on those genes that result in favorable adaptations
30
Aim What conditions are important to evolution?
31
Force behind Evolution
The interaction between individual organisms and the environment
32
Conditions Important to Evolution
Variation (Differences) Overproduction Finite supply of resources (limited) Natural Selection
33
Variation New traits that can lead to evolution come from normal variation within species
34
Overproduction Population of a species remains stable Turtle eggs
35
Struggle for Survival Finite Resources (not enough)
Competition among individuals of a species mean only the most adapted to the environment will survive
36
Natural Selection Evolution is controlled by nature not people
Organism that are best adapted to an environment will survive
37
Selection by Environment
The proportion of individuals with advantageous traits will increase This change over time is evolution
38
AIM What are the changes organisms undergo from Genetic Variation?
39
Sources of Variation Sexual Reproduction (Crossover during Meiosis)
Mutations
40
Results of Variation 1.Structural Change 2.Functional Change
3.Behavioral Change
41
Structural Change Homologous structures -
Have different mature forms but developed from the same ancestors (embryonic tissues)
42
The bones in the forelimbs of three mammals are shown below.
For these mammals, the number, position, and shape of the bones most likely indicates that they may have developed in a common environment developed from the same earlier species identical genetic makeup identical methods of obtaining food
43
Functional Change Humans-Electrical Impulses to move muscles
Eels -Electrical impulses to shock and kill its prey
44
Behavioral Change Rate of light blinking helps organisms recognize same species for mating
45
Some behaviors such as mating and caring for young are genetically determined in certain species of birds. The presence of these behaviors is most likely due to the fact that birds do not have the ability to learn individual birds need to learn to survive and reproduce these behaviors helped birds to survive in the past within their lifetimes, birds developed these behaviors
46
Evidence of Common Ancestors
If Amino acid sequence in proteins they synthesize are similar Suggests DNA is also similar (Controls Synthesis)
47
Things to Remember Individuals that produce the most offspring are the best adapted to the environment
48
The kit fox and red fox species are closely related
The kit fox and red fox species are closely related. The kit fox lives in the desert, while the red fox inhabits forests. Ear size and fur color are two differences that can be observed between the species. An illustration of these two species is shown below. Which statement best explains how the differences between these two species came about? Different adaptations developed because the kit fox preferred hotter environments than the red fox. As the foxes adapted to different environments, differences in appearance evolved. The foxes evolved differently to prevent overpopulation of the forest habitat. The foxes evolved differently because their ancestors were trying to avoid competition.
49
Aim What affects the rate of evolution among organism?
50
Affects Rate of Evolution
Environmental Change - More Environmental change equals more Evolution - Less Environmental change equals less Evolution Horseshoe crab
51
Affects Rate of Evolution
Offspring Produced - The more you produce the quicker organism evolves over time
52
Affects Rate of Evolution
Time of Lifespan Lifespan for bacteria and insects are short so they evolve quicker compared to humans More life cycles
53
Affect on Bacteria Increase in evolutionary rate causes more mutations and produces antibiotic -resistant bacteria
54
Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Caused by a Mutated Bacteria The Doctor has to change the antibiotic to kill mutated form
55
Common Names Streptococcus Staphylococcus S. Aureus Meningitis
Names of Bacteria Names of Antibiotic Streptococcus Staphylococcus S. Aureus Meningitis Penicillin Erythromycin Tetracyline Keflex
56
Summary Red bacteria is mutated Antibiotic kills normal bacteria(blue)
Mutated bacteria is resistant to antibiotic and multiplies (Red) Doctor has to change to another antibiotic that can kill resistant bacteria Red bacteria is mutated
57
AIM What patterns does evolution follow which are supported by fossil records?
58
#1-Pattern of Change Changes in species is often related to
environmental change
59
#2 Pattern of Change Species with quicker reproductive cycles and shorter life spans will evolve quicker Examples- Bacteria, insects and mosquitoes
60
#3-Pattern of Change The failure to adapt to a changing environment may result in death of the species. This is called extinction
61
Things to Remember Species with very little variation face possible extinction if the environment changes More variation; better chance to survive a changing environment Organisms with the quicker reproductive cycles evolve faster
62
Evolution Diagram Species that don’t reach the top are extinct.
Species that are similar split from the same lines. Which to species are extinct? J and E
63
The diagram shows an interpretation of relationships based on evolutionary theory. The letters represent different species. Which species are least likely to be vital parts of a present-day ecosystem? species A and E species C and D species E and J species B and F

65
Aim How did Charles Darwin’s study of finches lead to modern evolutionary theory?
66
Why do these Finches have different beak sizes?
67
Charles Darwin Darwin was the father of modern evolution
68
Studied Finches Darwin studied finches on the Galapagos islands off the coast of South America Environments were different
69
Finches are Birds
70
The Finches’ Beaks Beaks of each finch were different
Natural selection determined the shape and size of each beak
71
Environmental Factors
Which beak the bird developed depended on the finches niche. Niche- what an organism eats (seeds)
72
Common Ancestor All the Finches descended from A common ancestor
74
1.Darwin’s studies of finches on the Galapagos Islands suggest that the finches’ differences in beak structure were most directly due to 1.acquired characteristics in the parent finches 2.the size of the island where the finches live 3.mating behaviors of the different finch species 4.adaptations of the finches to different environments
75
According to Darwin’s theory of evolution, differences between species may be the result of
1.the disuse of body structures 2.the transmission of acquired characteristics 3.natural selection 4.mutagenic agents
76
Class Activity: Animal Cell
Organelle Number Function Substance Cell Membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Vacuole Ribosome Mitochondria
77

79
Proof of Evolution Fossils DNA Analysis
80
Electrophoresis Process used to analyze DNA in Fossils and match to DNA in current species Band position matches
81
Genetic Variety for Evolution
Sexual Reproduction Mutations Crossover during Meiosis-gamete formation
82
Conditions Important to Evolution
Variation (Differences) Overproduction Finite supply of resources (limited) Natural Selection
83
Changes from Evolution
1.Structural Change 2.Functional Change 3.Behavioral Change
84
Structural Change Homologous structures -

85
Adaptation An inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance for survival
86
Patterns of Change Changes in species are related to environmental change Short reproductive cycles and many offspring leads to more change Failure to adapt leads to extinction
87
