BIG IDEA: THE ENVIRONMENT SELECTS THE TRAITS OF ITS INHABITANTS.
4
Biogenesis: › All living things come from other living things Spontaneous Generation : › States that life can come from nonliving matter Evolution : › the development of new types of organisms from preexisting organisms over time
5
Natural Selection: › Is the mechanism for “descent of modification” Adaption: › A trait that makes an organism successful in its environment EX: thicker fur coats in cold climates Fitness: › Is a measure of an individual’s hereditary contribution to the next generation
6
Homologous Structure: › structures that occur in different species and originate from a common ancestor Example: human arm and whale’s fin Analogous Structure: › Structures that are closely related but do not derive from the same ancestor Example: Wings of butterfly and bird Vestigial Structure: › Structures that serve no function but that resemble structures with functional roles Example: Human appendix
7
Fossil: › Are the remains of an organism that died long ago › EX: Dinosaur bones Control Group: › the group that doesn’t change Experimental Group › the group that has the variable
8
Where does life come from?
9
A piece of meat was left out. The next day flies and maggots were seen on the meat. Where did the flies come from? › The thought the meat.
10
idea that life can arise from nonliving matter. There is a “life force”
11
Francesco Redi Lazzaro Spallanzani Louis Pasteur
12
1668 › Francesco Redi One scientist that performed an experiment that disproved spontaneous generation
13
Control group: › Put meat in a jar uncovered. Experimental group: › Put meat in a jar covered.
14
He let the jars sit out for a couple days Observes……
15
Experimental Group: Control Group : Flies found on the meat. No flies on the meat.
16
Conclusion › Flies do not come from the meat.
17
Italian scientist 1768 › Performed another experiment that disprove spontaneous generation
18
Control Group: › Boil broth › Left flask open Experimental Group: › Boil broth › Sealed flask
20
Control: › Broth becomes cloudy bacteria present Experimental: › Broth remains clear NO bacteria
21
The bacteria came from the air
22
French chemist He disproved spontaneous generation Invented the Pasteurization method
23
1862: Boil broth in a curved-neck flask. › Curved-neck prevented large particles from getting into the body of the flask.
25
After a year, › Broth in the not broken neck of flask clear › Broth in the broken neck of flask cloudy
26
Bacteria came from the outside air.
27
All living things come from the reproduction of other living things.
29
Change in an organism over time.
30
Jean Baptiste Lamarck Charles Darwin
31
French Biologist Famous for his evolutionary theory of inheritance
32
1809 Two Theories 1. Use and Disuse 2. Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics
33
Body parts that are used more grow stronger and bigger USE Body parts that are NOT used deteriorate DISUSE
34
Physical traits that were changed in an organism are inherited by their offspring(s).
35
Giraffe’s neck › They gets longer as it stretches to reach food in trees.
37
NO!!!!!!
38
Variations that occur in the: › GAMETES cells are passed to offspring › SOMATIC (body) cells are NOT inherited
39
British Naturalist Set sail on the HMS Beagle Famous for his studies with finches on the Galapagos Islands “Father of Evolution”
40
Went to the Galapagos Islands He observed different types of finches These observation lead to him developing his theory of evolution
42
British Naturalist Co discover of natural selection Wallace and Darwin presented their ideas to the public › Darwinism
43
States: 1. Descent with modification 2. Evolution occurs by the process of natural selection.
44
states evolution is the development of new organisms from preexisting organisms over time.
45
Over production: › In a population, more offspring are produced than can survive. Competition › Only some survive long enough to reproduce.
46
There is variation within a population these variations are inherited and lead to differences in organisms
47
traits that are favorable and improve the organism’s ability to function and reproduce.
48
States that survivors pass on their variations. Therefore….. a larger proportion in the next generation will have those variations.
49
is a measure of an individual’s genetic contribution to the next generation.
50
Over time, small changes accumulate and populations change.
51
a group of organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring.
55
1. Fossil Evidence 2. Anatomy 3. Embryology 4. Molecular Evidence
56
Fossils: › remains/traces of organisms that died long ago › They are often found in strata Strata layered rock
57
If undisturbed, › the lowest stratum is the oldest › the highest stratum is the newest Relative Age: › found by comparing ages of strata Absolute age › found by using radiometric dating
58
Fossil record suggests that different species were present in the past than today.
59
What about the PACE of evolutionary change?
60
Evolution that occurs slowly and continuously throughout time
61
Gradualism › Fossil record should show many transitional species, they DON’T Punctuated Equilibrium › Fossil records seem to support this › However, the mechanism is uncertain
62
States that for long periods of time, the existing species didn’t change Equilibrium Then, in relatively short periods of time, there is an interruption in the equilibrium New species emerge. The fossil record supports this!
63
studies the parts or structures of living things.
64
Similar internal parts Different function in different organisms This suggests descended from COMMON ANCESTORS Ex: › Human arm › Cat leg › Whale fin › Bat wing
66
Similar external form and function Different internal forms and function Suggests species came from DIFFERENT ancestral lines Ex: › Bat Wing › Bird Wing › Insect Wing
68
Usually reduced iiin size and have no function. › Suggests that the structure was once used by an evolutionary ancestor. › Example: human appendix, tailbone.
69
study of embryos as they develop Similarities of the development of embryos: › suggests that the species have a common ancestor
71
when we analyze chemical similarities between organisms Ex: a. DNA Comparison b. Protein Comparison
72
The more DNA is similar the CLOSER the relationship between the organims
73
Amino acids › The building blocks of proteins Similarities of amino acids that make proteins suggest a relationship between organisms EX: › In the protein cytochrome C, the difference between amino acids is…… Humans vs. monkeys 1 difference Human vs. pigs 10 differences
