Abiogenesis The spontaneous generation of life from nonliving matter. It was widely held that maggots arose spontaneously in rotting meat or broth. Francesco Redi (Italian 1668) One of the first to disprove spontaneous generation. An Italian doctor who proved maggots came from flies. Lazzaro Spallanzani Some scientists believed that there was a life force in the air He tried to disprove the life force theory He was unsuccessful There are microorganism in the air Louis Pasteur Successful in proving there was no life force The curved neck allowed air to pass but trapped microorganisms Biogenesis All living things arise from other living things But how did life first form? RNA Theory The first molecules of life were RNA RNA Carried genetic information Can be replicated Can make proteins Is a catalyst Similar in form to ATP RNA evolved into DNA Oparin (1930) Spontaneous generation did occur once at the beginning of life Believed that at high temperatures and with electrical charge the early gases could combine to form simple organic compounds As the Earth cooled the organic compounds collected in the oceans = Primordial soup Miller & Urey (1953) Tested Oparin’s Hypothesis under laboratory conditions and produced some amino acids and sugars Alternative Theory Metorites may have brought organic compounds (amino acids) to Earth First Cells They were: Prokaryotic Anaerobic Herterotrophic Endosymbiotic Theory Lynn Margulis Evolution of eukaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells evolved from large prokaryotic cells that were invaded by small aerobic and small photosynthetic prokaryotes LaMarck Lamark said organisms acquired traits by using their bodies in new ways These new characteristics were passed to offspring Lamark was totally wrong! Evolution Decent with Modification (Change in Species Over Time) Mechanisms for Evolution Natural Selection Environmental Pressures Variation Competition Isolation Sexual Selection Sexual Selection Sexual Selection Variation Competition for mates Choice Charles Darwin 1. 2. As a result of his travels to the Galapagos islands and extensive studies of various organisms He developed 2 major theories Decent with modification Modification by natural selection Rules for Natural Selection 1. Organisms differ; variation is inherited 2. Organisms produce more offspring than survive 3. Organisms compete for resources 4. Organisms with advantages survive to pass those advantages to their children 5. Species alive today are descended with modifications from common ancestors Natural Selection Methods of Natural Selection Stabilizing – Favors the average form of a trait Directional – Favors the extreme form of a trait Disruptive – Favors both extremes Antibiotic Resistance How natural selection works Resistance to antibacterial soap Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant How natural selection works How natural selection works Resistance to antibacterial soap Resistance to antibacterial soap Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant Generation 2: 0.96 not resistant 0.04 resistant mutation!

Radioactivity Where fossils are located in the strata Not as accurate Uses the degradation of radioactive elements Example: Carbon Dating More accurate Homologous Body Structures Structures look similar but function differently Vestigial Organs Organ that serves no useful function e.g. Appendix, tailbone, Wisdom teeth Embryology Similarities in Embryology In their early stages of development, chickens, turtles and rats look similar, providing evidence that they shared a common ancestry. Geographic Distribution Biochemical Evidence Genetic material in all organisms is similar Shows a common ancestor for all living things DNA Pace of Evolution Gradualism – Slow and steady change over time Punctuated Equilibrium – abrupt change followed by little or no change
