Mutation and Natural Selection Weekly Goal! Catalyst: When Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Catalyst! you hear the word mutation, what do you think of? Write at least THREE complete sentences. What characteristics do you think a student needs to “survive” high school? Objectives By the end of today, all SWBAT… Define “mutation” Identify environmental pressures Describe how natural selection determines whether organisms live or die Agenda Catalyst Review What Is a Mutation? Environmental Pressure and Natural Selection Notes Online Demo Quick Guided Practice Lab Exit Questions HOMEWORK: Mutation and Natural Selection worksheet, Finish lab questions What is a mutation? Key Point #1: A mutation is a change in DNA sequence Mutations can increase fitness, decrease fitness, or not matter Fitness = ability to survive and produce offspring Mutations are caused by… Mistake during transcription or meiosis Radiation Chemicals Gene therapy LK! a change here… means a change here and here and finally here DNA RNA Protein (Trait) Mutations Cause Variation Mutations cause variation Variation = changes or differences Environmental Pressure Key Point #2: Environmental pressures cause some organisms to survive better than others. Examples: In grassland, lions mustlive compete the tundra, polar bears in the against snow. If each they otherbetoseen catcheasily, gazelle (their can their preyfood). will run away and they willis starve. What the environmental pressure? What kind lions would survive best? is theofenvironmental pressure? What kind of polar bears would survive best? Natural Selection Key Point #3: Natural selection is survival of the fittest. Mutations that increase fitness become more common. Organisms that fit well in their environment live longer, and produce more offspring. They pass on their genes! Mutations that decrease fitness become less common. Organisms that do not fit well in their environment die sooner, and produce fewer offspring. So… uhhh… what about humans? Sickle Cell Anemia Those with recent African ancestry have the highest rate of affection. What is the variation? What causes this variation? What is the environmental pressure? How can this increase fitness? Environmental Pressure Demo AWESOME NATURAL SELECTION DEMO Guided Practice 1 Long ago, some four-legged organisms lived in the desert. Some had more eyelashes than others. Their eyelashes helped to keep sand out of their eyes, so they could find food more easily. What caused some organisms to have more eyelashes? What is the environmental pressure? What happened to the organisms with many eyelashes? Why? What (“…because…”) happened to the organisms with few eyelashes? Why? (“…because…”) Guided Practice 2 Thousands of years ago, primitive four-legged reptiles lived in the Louisiana swamps. They ate wildebeest, but there weren’t enough wildebeest around for everyone. Some reptiles had stronger jaw muscles than others. What caused reptiles to have different strength jaws? What is the environmental pressure? What happened to the reptiles with stronger jaws? EXPLAIN! What (“…because…”) happened to the reptiles with weaker jaws? EXPLAIN! (“…because…”) Guided Practice 3 Deer are hunted by coyotes. In a population of deer, some are faster than others. What caused variation in how fast the deer run? What is the environmental pressure? What happened to the faster deer? EXPLAIN! What (“…because…”) happened to the slower deer? EXPLAIN! (“…because…”) Lab: Skittle Survivor You have six minutes to… Fill in your hypothesis and DV Read the procedure Change on #6 – Predator will collect SEVEN skittles. Fill in your IV Answer the pre-lab questions Key Point Wrap-Up Key Point #1: A mutation is a change in DNA sequence Key Point #2: Environmental pressures cause some organisms to survive better than others. Key Point #3: Natural selection is survival of the fittest. Exit Questions In the tropical jungle, some monkeys have longer arms than others. The longer-armed monkeys are more successful at climbing trees for food than the shorter-armed monkeys. Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Exit Question! What caused the variation in monkeys’ arm length? What is the environmental pressure? Explain what will happen to the shorted-armed monkeys. Explain what will happen to the longer-armed monkeys.
