Evolution Exams returned W 2/13 Bonus #1 due F 2/15
2
Information flow in cells
CB 5.25 Information flow in cells Protein
3
Genotype Phenotype Genes code for proteins (or RNA). These gene products give rise to traits… It is rarely this simple.
4
DNA is replicated semi-conservatively
5
When DNA is replicated, mutations occur.
6
CB 13.5 DNA must be replicated before it can be passed on. How it is passed on and how it gets modified impacts evolution.
7
Genes code for proteins via RNA
CB 17.4 Genes code for proteins via RNA
8
Mutations: Sickle-cell anemia
CB 17.23 Mutations: Sickle-cell anemia
9
CB 5.21 Differences in amino acid sequence lead to differences in 3-D shape and different functionalities
10
Correlation of malaria and sickle-cell anemia
CB 23.10
11
How do individuals and groups with different genes arise?
Evolution… Does it occur? How does it occur?
12
Does evolution occur?
13
As DNA changes; traits change. Protein
14
Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce.
15
Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.
16
Evolution: changes in DNA as information transmitted
Bacteria with mutation causing resistance O O O O O O O O
17
Evolution: changes in DNA as information transmitted
Bacteria with mutation causing resistance O O O O O O O O Apply antibiotic X X X O O O X X X O O O O X X X X O O O O Kills most bacteria. Except if some have mutation that allow them to be resistant.
18
Evolution: changes in DNA as information transmitted
Bacteria with mutation causing resistance O O O O O O O O Apply antibiotic Continues to replicate O X X X O O O X X X O O O O X X X X O O O O Kills most bacteria. Except if some have mutation that allow them to be resistant.

20
A population that can produce fertile offspring
Who evolves?…Species. A. leucurus A. harrisi A population that can produce fertile offspring A population that does reproduce **A population sharing genetic information** CB 24.6
21
X Horse Donkey = Mule
22
X Horse Donkey So…horses and donkeys are not the same species. = Mule (sterile)
23
A population that can produce fertile offspring
Who evolves?…Species. A. leucurus A. harrisi A population that can produce fertile offspring A population that does reproduce **A population sharing genetic information** CB 24.6
24
Natural Selection: Individuals that are most successful at reproducing will pass on more of their genetic information.
25
Reproductive success = Evolutionary success
26
Reproductive success = Evolutionary success
27
Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.
