Overview Evolution terms to know Other Scientists’ contributions
Darwin Historical background Four Tenets Evidence for Evolution Hardy-Weinberg Principle
4
I. Evolution terms to know
Evolution = Change over time Pikachu evolves into Raichu !
5
I. Evolution terms to know
Microevolution = small changes over time within a species males females subgroup 5 ft 9.4 in 5 ft 4 in 20-74 5 ft 10.1 in 5 ft 4.6 in 20-39 non-Hispanic whites 5 ft 10 in 20-39 non-Hispanic blacks 5 ft 9.2 in 5 ft 2.9 in 20-39 Hispanic non-Mexican Americans 5 ft 6.8 in 5 ft 2.2 in 20-39 Mexican Americans
6
I. Evolution terms to know
Macroevolution (Speciation) = Over time, groups of organisms changed so much that they can no longer reproduce with the original group.
7
I. Evolution terms to know
A. Adaptation = trait that allows an organism to survive and reproduce B. Variation = individuals have different traits C. Mutation = change in DNA. Most changes have no effect, some are lethal, a few make an individual better adapted. D. Competition = competing for limited resources
8
I. Evolution terms to know
E. Species = Mayr: "species are groups of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups." Offspring are fertile. HORSE DONKEY = MULE
9
I. More Evolution terms F. Fitness = ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in its environment
10
II. Other scientists’ contributions
Lamarck: Inheritance of acquired characteristics/ Use and Disuse B. Hutton: Geological forces occur over long periods of time C. Malthus: population increases FASTER than the resources competition
11
III. Charles Darwin Father of Evolution
1809, HMS Beagle, Galapagos Island 1865, published On the Origin of Species before Alfred Wallace released his similar work
12
Darwin’s Four Tenets (i.e ideas)
1. More organisms are made than the environment can support Competition 2. There is a variation among offspring preadaptation. 3. Natural selection survival of the fittest. Environment selects against traits -Climate, weather, competition predators, pollution. -e.g. Peppered Moth and Industrial Melanism 4.Individuals that have desirable traits are more fit and leave more offspring

IV. Evidence for Evolution
A. Fossil Record B. Homologous Structures: Same tissue related C. Embryology—vertebrates have similar embryos D. Biochemistry E. Biogeography
18
IV. Evidence for Evolution
Fossil Record Strata in sedimentary rock Newest, Complex, Alive today are on top Oldest, Simple, Most extinct are at the bottom
19
IV. Evidence for Evolution
B. Homologous Structures: Same tissue related Analogous structures: same function not necessarily related Vestigial organ- no longer need it ex. Whale pelvic bone land ancestor
20
IV. Evidence for Evolution
C. Embryology: vertebrates have similar embryos Haeckel= ”ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” Means that the embryos look like the evolutionary sequence Haeckel's drawings of several different embryos, showing incredible similarity, compared with photographs of actual embryos from all seven classes of vertebrates, showing quite clearly that Haeckel's drawings misrepresent the truth. In 1997 Richardson and an international team of experts compared Haeckel's embryos with photographs of actual embryos from all seven classes of vertebrates, showing quite clearly that Haeckel's drawings misrepresent the truth.
21
IV. Evidence for Evolution
D. Biochemistry Conserved sequences in DNA, Hemoglobin Cytochrome C (protein) ”molecular clock” molecule found in ETS, which is in almost all living things
22
IV. Evidence for Evolution
E. Biogeography Example: Africa and South America 200 mya
23
V. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Mathematical formula that Demonstrates the occurrence of natural selection by demonstrating a change in gene frequency.
24
V. Hardy- Weinberg Equilibrium
Assumptions. Large population Random mating No mutation No migration No natural selection
25
V. Hardy- Weinberg Equilibrium
Equations: p+q= p2+2pq+q2=1 p=frequency of the dominant allele q = frequency of the recessive allele p2=freq of the homozygous dominant q2=freq of the homozygous recessive 2pq=freq of the heterozygote
26
V. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Example: Find p and q for the following populations of fur color (black is dominant) in guinea pigs, before and after an Andean cold spell: Before: 96 black, 4 white After: 84 black, 16 white Did natural selection occur?
27
V. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Example: Find p and q for the following populations of fur color (black is dominant) in guinea pigs, before and after an Andean cold spell: Before: 96 black, 4 white After: 84 black, 16 white 4/100 = 0.04 = freq of white =freq of aa = q2 Equations: p+q= p2+2pq+q2=1 BEFORE: q2 = 0.04 q = 0.2 P = 1-q = 0.8
28
V. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Example: Find p and q for the following populations of fur color (black is dominant) in guinea pigs, before and after an Andean cold spell: Before: 96 black, 4 white After: 84 black, 16 white 16/100 = 0.16 = freq of white =freq of aa = q2 Equations: p+q= p2+2pq+q2=1 AFTER: q2 = 0.16 q = 0.4 P = 1-q = 0.6
29
V. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Example: Find p and q for the following populations of fur color (black is dominant) in guinea pigs, before and after an Andean cold spell: Before: 96 black, 4 white After: 84 black, 16 white BEFORE: q2 = 0.04 q = 0.2 P = 1-q = 0.8 AFTER: q2 = 0.16 q = 0.4 P = 1-q = 0.6 Did natural selection occur? YES
