11. Geology Geologists proposed… –Very old Earth –Changed by gradual processes

12. Darwin and Wallace 1859 On the Origin of Species Natural Selection –The mechanism of evolution –Artificial selection? Descent with Modification

23. Molecular Biology –Comparing DNA between different organisms Table 13.4 Evidence for Evolution

24. Natural Selection Darwin’s observations –Overproduction –Individual variation –Differential reproductive success Who will survive and reproduce?

25. Natural selection –Certain traits increase survival –Those indiv. influence the future Where can we observe changes in traits? Natural Selection

27. What is a population? Population genetics Population Evolve

28. Populations Evolve Gene pool –All genes in a population Sources of genetic variation –Mutations –Meiosis –Fertilization

29. Populations Evolve Individuals don’t evolve! Evolution is change in frequency of traits in a population!

30. Or not? What would a nonevolving population look like? Stable allele frequency Populations Evolve

31. –Genes are shuffled during sexual reproduction –does not alter the proportions of alleles –P 2 + 2pq + q 2 = 1 Phenotypes GenotypesWWWw ww Number of animals (total  500) 32016020 320 500 Genotype frequencies  0.64 160 500  0.32 20 500  0.04 Number of alleles in gene pool (total  1,000) Allele frequencies 800 1,000  0.8 W  0.2 w 640 W 160 W  160 w 40 w Figure 13.7B 200 1,000 Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

32. Genetic Equilibrium No mutation Large population Isolation Everyone reproduces Random mating

33. Microevolution Drives a population away from equilibrium: Natural selection and… –Gene flow –Genetic drift –Mutations

34. Genetic Drift Random fluctuation of allele frequencies overtime More pronounced in small populations

35. Figure 13.22

36. Computer Simulation AA in five populations allele A lost from four populations 1.0 0.5 0 15051015202530354045 Generation (25 stoneflies at the start of each)

37. Computer Simulation allele A neither lost nor fixed 1.0 0.5 0 15051015202530354045 Generation (500 stoneflies at the start of each)

38. Bottleneck Effect A severe reduction in population size Lots of drift Example –Elephant seals 20 individuals –rebounded to 30,000

39. Bottleneck Original population Bottlenecking event Surviving population Figure 13.9A Figure 13.9B

40. Figure 13.24

41. Inbreeding Leads to increased homozygosity Can lower fitness More recessive alleles are expressed Amish, cheetahs

42. Founder Effect A few individuals start a new population Allele frequencies of founders may be different from original population

43. Figure 13.25

44. Gene Flow Genes move in/out of a population Immigration/emigration Minimizes genetic variation between populations

45. Mutations Infrequent –Lethal –Neutral –Advantageous

46. Natural Selection Revisited Largest impact Successful alleles = successful phenotypes Who will reproduce? What will happen to allele frequencies? Increased fitness!

47. Natural Selection Revisited Directional Selection Number of individuals in the population Range of values for the trait at time 1 Range of values for the trait at time 2 Range of values for the trait at time 3 Number of individuals in the population Number of individuals in the population

48. Antibiotic Resistance Since 1940s Overuse Resistant forms

49. Natural Selection Revisited Stabilizing Selection Number of individuals in the population Range of values for the trait at time 1 Range of values for the trait at time 2 Range of values for the trait at time 3

50. Natural Selection Revisited Disruptive Selection Number of individuals in the population Range of values for the trait at time 1 Range of values for the trait at time 2 Range of values for the trait at time 3 Number of individuals in the population Number of individuals in the population

51. Sexual Selection

52. Question of the Day Antibiotic resistant bacteria are showing up all over the place. The infamous “flesh eating” bacteria is an example. What are two things that you can do to help prevent more bacteria from becoming antibiotic resistant?
