1 Review What is a molecular clock Explain Why do molecular clocks use mutations that have no effect on phenotype 2 Relate Cause and Effect Why is gene duplication important in evolution 3 Infer In evolution, why have small changes in Hox genes had a great impact CH 17 EVOLUTION OF POPULATIONS 17.4 Molecular Evolution Copying Genes Sometimes crossing-over involves an unequal swapping of DNA so that one chromosome in the pair gets extra DNA. Duplicate Genes Evolve Sometimes copies of a gene undergo mutations that change their function Original gene is still around New genes can evolve without affecting the original gene function or product. Duplicate Genes Evolve Gene Families Multiple copies of a duplicated gene can turn into a group of related genes Produce similar proteins. Molecular Clocks Uses mutation rates in DNA to estimate the time that two species have been evolving independently. Neutral Mutations as “Ticks” Neutral mutations occur at a steady rate More difference the longer the separation. Calibrating the Clock Genes accumulate mutations at different rates Compare the number of mutations in a particular gene in species whose age has been determined by other methods. Hox Genes and Evolution Small changes in Hox gene activity during embryological development can produce large changes in adult animals. Change in a Hox Gene Mutation in a single Hox gene (Ubx) “turns off” the growth of some pairs of legs. Fish in Two Lakes A research team studied two lakes in an area that sometimes experiences flooding. Each lake contained two types of similar fish: a dull brown and an iridescent gold. The team wondered how all the fish were related and considered the two hypotheses diagrammed on the next slide. Interpret Visuals What does hypothesis a indicate about the ancestry of the fish in lake 1 and lake 2? What does hypothesis B indicate 2. Compare and Contrast According to the two hypotheses, what is the key difference in the way the brown and gold fish population might have formed? 3. Draw Conclusions A DNA analysis showed that the brown and gold fish from Lake 1 are most closely related. Which hypothesis does this evidence support? 1.
