An individual cannot adapt. Analogous-Similarities that arise through convergent evolution. Ancestral-Trait that different species share in common. Ex: Birds/mammals have a backbone. Carrying capacity (K)-The maximum number of individuals the environment can support. Cladistics-The visual placement of organisms in a relationship ‘tree’ that shows similar traits as phylogenetic relationships. Convergent evolution-Different species who live in similar habitats exhibit similar physical traits. Ex: White-tailed deer/mule deer. Darwin’s Theory-1. Variation of traits exists within a species (due to mutation ). 2. In a particular environment, some individuals are better able to produce offspring than others. 3. Over time, some population traits are beneficial and increase. 4. When traits in a population are not beneficial, the population may not be able to survive, and therefore become extinct. Density-The number of individuals of a species in a specific area. Density-dependent factor-The things that affect a population that depend on the number of individuals in the population in a given area. Ex: More people=less food. Density-independent factor-Model of population growth that is not determined by the number of individuals in the population in a given area. Ex: Weather, or climate. More people=It rains. Less people=It rains. Derived-Trait that developed in one of the related ancestral-trait species, but not the other. Ex; Bird/mammal share a backbone, but NOT feathers and fur. Directional selection-When an average of a trait over generations moves in one direction on a graph. Ex: Height in humans has been increasing over many years. Dispersion-The way that individuals/or groups of a species are arranged. (Random, evenly, clumped). Divergence-Differences between groups of a species, which lead to speciation. Evidence of Evolution: 1. Fossil Record-Whale hind limb changes from walking on land to swimming in water. Blue whales still their back leg bones, which are covered with blubber and flippers. 2. Anatomy/Development-Similar, or homologous, structures in related species such as the bone structures in wings, arms, penguin. 3. Molecular-Similarities in amino acid sequence and protein structure in related species. Ex: blood amino acids between primates. 4. DNA-Genes common in related individuals can be shown using DNA fingerprinting. Ex: Paternity cases using blood types. Exponential growth-A population whose growth looks like the letter ‘J’. It is slow at the beginning for a longer time, the increases dramatically at the end. Factors of natural selection-Those components that affect an organisms’ ability to reproduce. 1. All populations have genetic variation. 2. Some individuals will reproduce and pass on their traits, whereas other individuals may not be healthy enough to pass on their traits. 3. Individuals tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support. 4. Individuals that are more successful in their environment will leave more offspring. Gradualism-Model of evolution in which long periods of time lead to changes in a population, leading to new species formation. Hardy-Weinburg Principle-Five forces that impact a population: 1. Mutations give rise to new species. 2. Populations emigrate and move, providing gene flow. 3. Individuals choose their mates based on some particular trait show nonrandom mating. 4. Small populations are prone to genetic drift by loss of particular traits when individuals fail to reproduce due to disease, weather, etc. 5. Natural selection, one of the most powerful agents in genetic change, and therefore evolution, suggests that factors in the environment ultimately determine what traits get passed on and what traits do not. Homologous-Structures that share a common ancestry. Ex: Fins, flippers, wings, legs, arms. Independent Assortment-Traits on one chromosome don’t always stay with the same combination of alleles on another chromosome. k-Strategist-Slow growth, smaller populations. Ex: Those species that tend to have long lives with long periods of parental care of young. Elephants, whales. Law of Segregation-Two alleles of the same trait move apart so that each gamete gets a copy. Logistic model-Model of population growth that is determined by the densitydependent factors. Ex: How many people can live in Elizabethtown based on the amount of food available. Natural selection-Individuals that have physical traits or behavior traits that make them better suited to their environment and better able to produce offspring than others who do not have these traits. Phylogenetic-Classification of organisms based on physical traits. Population-All the individuals of one species in a particular location and time that can interbreed. Punctuated equilibrium-Model of evolution in which quick, rapid change (may be due to volcanic eruption, island formation, ice age, etc) in populations is followed by long periods of little change. r-Strategist-Boom/bust populations. Rapid growth under favorable conditions, slow growth under unfavorable conditions. Ex: Lots of rain=lots of mosquitoes because they lay their eggs in water. Not much rain=fewer mosquitoes. Reproductive isolation-Members of the same species cannot breed with other members because of 1. Geographic distance. 2. Mating times vary (such as seasonal). Eventually, due to natural selection/adaptation/mutations, the two populations will be unable to breed together. They have now become separate species. Size-The number of individuals in a population (remember the definition). Speciation-Process by which new species are formed. Subspecies-When divergence produces small changes in separate populations, but they can still reproduce together. Polygenic Trait-A trait that is influenced by several genes. It acts as a modifier for any particular physical trait. Ex: Height. Population model-A prediction about a populations’ future, based on the past. Stabilizing selection-Over time, when more and more members of a population show the exact same trait and fewer show any other allele (form) of the trait. Ex: Over time, as the Wooba monsters eats blondes in this classroom, there may be no blondes left at all. The stabilizing hair color is brown. Vestigial-Body structure that was once used, but now is less used or completely not used. Gives evidence of its evolutionary past and relationships. http://blue.butler.edu/~mzimmerm/Christian_Clergy/ChrClergyLtr.htm The Clergy Letter - from American Christian clergy – An Open Letter Concerning Religion and Science Clic aquí para leer la carta en español Cliquer ici pour la version francaise Clique aqui para ler a carta em português Within the community of Christian believers there are areas of dispute and disagreement, including the proper way to interpret Holy Scripture. While virtually all Christians take the Bible seriously and hold it to be authoritative in matters of faith and practice, the overwhelming majority do not read the Bible literally, as they would a science textbook. Many of the beloved stories found in the Bible – the Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark – convey timeless truths about God, human beings, and the proper relationship between Creator and creation expressed in the only form capable of transmitting these truths from generation to generation. Religious truth is of a different order from scientific truth. Its purpose is not to convey scientific information but to transform hearts. We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris. We urge school board members to preserve the integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge. We ask that science remain science and that religion remain religion, two very different, but complementary, forms of truth.

Evolution Graphs Natural Selection http://www.adonline.id.au/plantevol/natural-selection/ Share this article: Natural selection is the process of naturally 'screening' traits (characteristics) within individuals within a species for or against a certain outcome. Natural selection can affect morphological, physiological, biochemical and anatomical characters, however natural selection can only act on traits which can be genetically inherited and which are expressed. In summary, natural selection acts on the phenotype of an organism. The theory states that if an organism has a trait that is of benefit, then it will have a greater chance of reproducing and passing on that gene. However if an organism has a gene which is causing it disadvantage, then the organism will die and not pass on that gene. Hence it can be loosely termed 'survival of the fittest'. To understand natural selection, it is important to understand the concept of 'biological success'. Biological success is measured by the number of offspring the organism leaves in the next generation, and the number of genes that that organism contributes to the gene pool of the next generation. For example: An organism through a mutation has a 'super' gene, which makes it the best, most suited organism in its environment. If it is killed before it can reproduce, then it has a biological success of zero, as no offspring could inherit the 'super' gene. However, if that same organism were spared, and had lots of offspring carrying the 'super' gene that makes this organism so successful, then it would have had a high level of biological success, as the gene would have been passed on to improve the species. Biological success is what contributes to 'natural selection', based on the premise that every trait or character is either an advantage or disadvantage. Natural selection does not have to be gradual - in fact if there are sudden and major environmental changes then evolution (through natural selection) can occur relatively quickly. So, natural selection is a complex process in which the total environment determines which members of a species survive to reproduce and so carry on their genes to the next generation. Natural selection does not necessarily involve a struggle between species. There are other selective mechanisms as well as natural selection, and these are outlined below... 1. Stabilizing Selection Stabilizing selection is where the extremes of a population are selected against, and the normal is selected for. This situation can be pictorially demonstrated with a bell curve representing any given population... Figure 1: These schemeatic graphs demonstrate the frequency of individuals with a certain set of traits/phenotypes/genotypes within a population. The "natural distribution" graph (left) shows the population 'as is', whereas on the right selection pressures have selected against the extremes of a population, so that the range of variance within that population is focussed towards the centre (normal). The graph on the left of Figure 1 shows a normal population, with the greatest number of individuals in the middle; they are normal. On the edges are the extremes; these are a minority. The total area under the curve equals 100% of the population. Under selective selection, the individuals on the extremes are selected against, and the number in the middle (the normal) rises. 2. Directional Selection Directional selection is where one extreme of a population which has a trait is targeted against, and the normal and other extreme is targeted for. This forces the shifting of the mean within a population. Figure 2: These schemeatic graphs demonstrate the frequency of individuals with a certain set of traits/phenotypes/genotypes within a population. The "natural distribution" graph (left) shows the population 'as is'. The middle "selection against one extreme" graph shows the application of a selection pressure agains one extreme of a population but in favour of the other exteme and the normal. The graph on the right shows the application of an overall selection pressure which shifts the mean in one direction so that the normal is altered. The normal is pushed away from the extreme that is being selected against, because that extreme no longer exists, and so those that were not-so-extreme become the new extremes. 3. Disruptive Selection Disruptive selection is where the normal is selected against, and the two extremes are selected for. This may ultimately lead to speciation (the evolution of a new species).

Each Wolybooger is similar except their mouths have variations. All Woolyboogers eat beans. Some Woolyboogers have a jagged mouth. Some Woolyboogers have a pinching mouth. Some have a needle mouth and some have a sticky mouth. One year a new variety of Woolybooger was discovered. This Woolybooger was called the Spoon-Mouthed Woolybooger. Each of you will play the part of a Woolybooger on this planet. The spoon-mouthed Woolybooger is rare, so only a small number of you will get this type of Woolybooger. ***Alert: Beware the Wooba Monster, an alien species. Use your utensils in the way they were intended to obtain food as your teacher demonstrates. Method: You will run through several trials. Each trial will require your Woolybooger to gain at least 20 beans. If 20 beans are not acquired during the time period, your Woolyboger has died. When your Woolybooger dies, you can continue your play, but now you must become one of the surviving species’ offspring. You will need a mouth that reflects this species for the next food frenzy. We will start with a one minute feeding period. Then each trial time will be reduced by 15 seconds. This is because food is getting scarcer but the Woolyboogers continue to reproduce. You will need to construct a data table to record your results. You will need table space to calculate and record the average number of beans per time interval (1 minute, 45 seconds, 30 seconds, etc) by mouth type. Compare your results with at least three other students’ averages. When answering the discussion questions, use examples from the lab wherever possible.

What happens to animals that cannot compete as well with other animals in the wild? What is your evidence? 2. Some animals that are introduced into an area (aliens) in which they’ve never lived before, out-compete or endanger the resident species. How can this happen and why (use the words interspecific competition)? Use an example from lab. 3. If only one characteristic is considered the ‘fittest’, why do we still have so many variations within a species (use the words intrapecific competition)? Use an example from lab. 4.
