1 CONCEPT MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Presented by Neelima Mishra

2 Amazing life ! HOW DID IT EVOLVE?

3 OVERALL CURRICULUM EXPECTATION C 2. Investigate evolutionary processes, and analyse scientific evidence that supports the theory of evolution; C 3. Demonstrate the understanding of the theory of evolution, the evidence that supports it, and some of the mechanisms by which it occurs

4 SPECIFIC EXPECTATION C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to evolution C2.2 use a research process to investigate some of the key factors that affect the evolutionary process C2.4 investigate, through a case study or computer simulation, the process of natural selection and artificial selection and analyse the different mechanisms by which it occurs C3.4 describe some evolutionary mechanisms and explain how they affect the evolutionary development and extinction of various species

5 Mechanisms Altering Gene and Gene Frequency RECOMBINATION NON RANDOM MATING MUTATIONGENETIC DRIFTGENE FLOWBIOTECHNOLOGY Mechanisms Deciding the Fate of Altered Gene SELECTION MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION ARTIFICIAL SELECTION STABILIZING SELECTION SEXUAL SELECTION DISRUPTIVE SELECTION KIN SELECTION DIRECTIONAL SELECTION CONCEPT OVERVIEW

6 LESSON-I a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION INTRODUCTION ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING- Evolution survey http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/ev.surv.pdf http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/ev.surv.pdf Class discussion on various misconceptions. Brief review of meaning of evolution and Evidences of evolution

7 LESSON-I b MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Concept overview with the help of flow chart. Students complete blank copy of flow chart. Students write vocabulary from text book. CONCEPT OVERVIEW AND VOCBULARY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiEqcQtxuDs &feature=view_all&list=PL2A057978091E5780& index=1 “The Hook” --till18.17 minutes Ask how many mechanisms they are already familiar with?

8 LESSON-II a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION GENETIC RECOMBINATION Students are familiar with these concepts. We need to discuss the role of these mechanisms in altering genes. 1.Video to review meiosis as a source of genetic variation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCnQOrh 7KUg 2. Student will share their understanding of role meiosis in creating genetic variation with their partner.

9 MUTATION 3. Introduce definition of mutation. Students will watch the video to understand different mutation and will take notes. Gene Mutation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQi GUAeh3TE&feature=mfu_inorder&list=U L Chromosomal Mutation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAG xp9j5rtc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAG xp9j5rtc&feature=related 4.Explain the difference between somatic and gamete cell mutations and the role that they play in cancer and evolution respectively. LESSON-II b MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION

10 LESSON-II c MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Explain the meaning, types And discuss evolutionary consequences of non random mating on gene pool NON-RANDOM MATING

11 LESSON-III a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION GENETIC DRIFT 1.Teacher will introduce the concept of genetic drift, bottleneck effect and founder effect with examples. Use pictures to help them visualise different scenario. 2.Discuss Founder effect-(Different ethnic groups in Canada--- effect on gene pool)

12 3. Demonstrate the bottleneck effect. 4.Ask students to research more scenario and example. 5.Student will do the following activity- http://www.delaneyweb.com/te ems/miniunit/ geneticdriftactivity.html LESSON-III b MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION

13 GENE FLOW Discussion to assess the effect of emigration, immigration on the frequency and variety of genes. http://www.delaneyweb.com/t eems/miniunit/geneflowactivity.html How gene flow affects the differences in two populations. BIOTECHNOLOGY Explain the meaning and ask students to write about the effect of this artificial gene alteration and share the opinions with class. LESSON-III c MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION

14 LESSON-IV a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION Clip Bird Activity http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibr ary/search/lessonsummary.php?audie nce_level[3]=9- 12&topic_id=&keywords=&type_id=2 &sort_by=resource_title&Submit=Se arch&thisaudience=9- 12&resource_id=35 Optional – Gizmo Activity-Natural Selection http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.d spDetail&ResourceID=447&ClassID=0

15 LESSON-IV b MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Explain stabilizing, directional and disruptive selection using transparencies and projector. Provide one example and ask students to contribute. NATURAL SELECTION

16 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/ 01/6/l_016_09.html LESSON-V MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Special forms of natural selection 1. Sexual selection 2.Kin selection – discuss altruistic behaviour in animal kingdom Cumulative Selection- Playing card activity http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/n s.cum.l.html

17 LESSON-VI MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION ARTIFICIAL SELECTION Gizmo Simulation Activity http://www.explorelearning.com/inde x.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail& ResourceID=575&ClassID=0 http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/search/lessonsummary.php?au dience_level[3]=9- 12&topic_id=&keywords=&type_id=2&sort_by=resource_title&Submit =Search&thisaudience=9-12&resource_id=216 Dog Breeding- Classroom Activity- optional

18 STUDENT’S MISCONCEPTIONS #1 Evolution results in progress; organisms are always getting better through evolution. #3Natural selection is about survival of the very fittest individuals in a population. #2 Individual organisms can evolve during a single lifespan. #4 Natural selection produces organisms perfectly suited to their environments

19 #5 “Natural selection involves organisms ‘trying’ to adapt.” #6 “Natural selection gives organisms what they ‘need. ” #7 Genetic drift only occurs in small populations STUDENT’S MISCONCEPTIONS For Rectification of these misconceptions please refer to summary hand out

20 SAFETY 1.Simulations are best conducted under low light conditions. Students should remain at their lab stations while light levels are low. 2. Beads are a hazard if dropped on the floor. Students can easily trip on round beads. Ensure that student pick up any dropped bead immediately. 3. Require accounting for all items supplied to prevent any items from remaining on the site. This requirement conserves resources and prevents harms to other using the site.

21 APPLICATIONS AND SOCIETAL ISSUES An understanding of evolution of drug resistance, origin of disease and processes of evolution may provide clues about how to treat them. Knowledge of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships helps farmers improve the ability of crops to resist disease. Understanding evolution helps us solve biological problems that impact our lives

22 An understanding of how pesticide resistance evolves can provide strategies to minimize pest damage. It can also help conservationists make decisions about where to focus their efforts for conservation of endangered species APPLICATIONS AND SOCIETAL ISSUES

23 SUGGESTIONS 1.Field trip 2.Case study 3.Web cast- http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/evolution/lecture s.html http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/evolution/lecture s.html

24 EVALUATION Assessment For Learning – Diagnostic test to find out Misconceptions. Assessment AS Learning- Observation, Questioning, Assessing Students’ worksheet, classroom and online activities. Assessment Of Learning- paper-pencil test
