Class ___: Evolution Evidence Review Mechanisms of Evolution Types of Evidence
2
Mechanisms of Evolution Darwin (mid 1800’s) – Naturalist = biologist who made observations about plants and animals – HMS Beagle Galapagos Islands – Found species similar to those in Central and South America … but slightly different on the different islands. Natural Selection = organisms with traits best suited for a given environment are more likely to survive and reproduce Artificial Selection = humans select for desired traits and purposely breed plants and animals for these traits

2 Types of Selection: Natural Selection –> environmentally made Galapagos Islands http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=n3265bno2X0 http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=n3265bno2X0 Artificial Selection -> man made Domesticated Plants Animals – Dog Breeds
4
Principles of Natural Selection 1.Organisms produce more offspring than can survive 2.Genotypic variations are found among off-spring. Sources of variation include: – Mutations – Transpositions (Barbara McClintock) – Sexual Reproductions 3.Variations are passed on to offspring 4.Some variations allow members of a population to survive and reproduce … while others do not. 5.Over time, offspring with beneficial adaptations survive and reproduce more often more and more of the population exhibit the beneficial phenotype

“Evolution” in Our Classroom! Pick a tool – Knife – Fork – Spoon Why did you pick the one you did? Task 1 Results? Pick a tool – Knife – Fork – Spoon Task 2 Results?
6
How fast does evolutionary change occur? KEY IDEA: It depends … on the environment!
7
How fast does evolutionary change occur?
8
Drug Resistant Pathogens Which type of evolutionary process would this be? Gradualism or Punctuated Equilibrium
9
Types of Evidence Fossil Record – Dating Stratigraphy Radiometric – Geological Timeline Similarities in genetic make-up Homologous structures Vestigial structures Embryology
10
Fossil Record – Paleontology/ Geology Dating Stratigraphy Radiometric Geological Timeline http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY3MZ_wNFW8
11
Similarities in Genetic Make-up – Molecular Biology All living organisms have DNA The more closely related the more commonalities in the sequence and pairs Humans and Chimps share 98 % Humans and other Humans share 99%
12
Commonalities Structures - Anatomy Homologous structures = Body parts that are similar in origin and structure Vestigial structures = body part that doesn’t seem to have a function, anymore
13
Embryology Comparative Embryology
