Ch. 22- Descent with modification- Guided Notes What you must know: How Lamarck’s view of the mechanism of evolution differed from Darwin’s. The role of adaptations, variation, time, reproductive success, and heritability in evolution. Ch. 22 Warm Up1. What do you remember about Charles Darwin and his scientific ideas? 2. According to Campbell, what is the definition of “evolution”? Part A: Darwin and Natural Selection 1. Descent with Modification Theme: Evolutionary change is based on the interactions between populations & their environment which results in adaptations (inherited characteristics) to increase fitness Evolution = change over time in the genetic composition of a population 2. Historical Process of Science Aristotle: life-forms arranged on scale on increasing complexity (scala naturae) Aristotle:384-322 B.C Old Testament - Creationism: Earth ~6000 years old; perfect species individually designed by God Natural theology: discovering Creator’s plan by studying nature; to classify nature Linnaeus: founder of taxonomy; binomial nomenclature o Domain – Kingdom – Phylum – Class – Order – Family - Genus – Species o (Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti) o Domains = Eubacteria, Archaea, Eukarya o Classification based on anatomy & morphology Carolus Linnaeus 1707-1778 Cuvier: o Paleontologist – studied fossils o Deeper strata (layers) - very different fossils from current life o Opposed idea of evolution Catastrophism – catastrophe destroyed many living species, then repopulated by immigrant species Formation of sedimentary strata with fossil Hutton / Lyell: o Gradualism = geologic change results from slow & gradual, continuous process o Uniformitarianism = Earth’s processes same rate in past & present therefore Earth is very old Slow & subtle changes in organisms big change James Hutton 1726-1797 Charles Lyell 1797-1875 Lamarck: Published theory of evolution (1809) Use and Disuse: parts of body used bigger, stronger (eg. giraffe’s neck) Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics: modifications can be passed on Importance: Recognized that species evolve, although explanation was flawed Jean-Baptiste Lamarck 1744-1829 Malthus: o More babies born than deaths o Consequences of overproducing within environment = war, famine, disease (limits of human pop.) o Struggle for existence o Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist 1831: joined the HMS Beagle for a 5-year research voyage around the world Collected and studied plant and animal specimens, bones, fossils Notable stop: Galapagos Islands HMS Beagle (1831-1836) & the Galapagos Islands Darwin’s Finch & Tortoise Collection o The birds were all about the same size, but the shape and size of the beaks of each species were different. o The vice-governor of the Galapagos Islands told Darwin that he could tell which island a particular tortoise came from by looking at its shell. On the Origin of Species o Darwin waited 30 years before he published his ideas on evolution o Alfred Russell Wallace – published paper on natural selection first (1858) o Charles Darwin (1859): On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection o Mechanism for evolution is Natural Selection o Darwin didn’t use “evolution”, but rather “descent with modification” 3. Natural vs. Artificial Selection Natural Selection Artificial Selection Nature decides “Man” decides Works on individual Selective breeding Inbreeding occurs eg. beaks eg. dalmations Therefore, if humans can create substantial change over short time, nature can over long time. 4. Key Ideas of Natural Selection: Adaptations enhance an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce o Eg. Desert fox - large ears, arctic fox - small ears Overproduction of offspring leads to competition for resource Competition for limited resources results in differential survival. Evolutionary Fitness: Individuals with more favorable phenotypes more likely to survive and produce more offspring, and pass traits to future generations If environment changes or individuals move to new environment, new adaptations and new species may arise. ****Populations evolve, not individuals.**** To learn more about Darwin’s journey you can watch the PBS Special “ What Darwin Never Knew” Part B: Evidence for Evolution What you must know: Several examples of evidence for evolution. The difference between structures that are homologous and those that are analogous, and how this relates to evolution. Ch 22. Warm Up 1. Compare and contrast natural selection vs. artificial selection. 2. What are the key ideas of natural selection? 3. Define and give an example for the following: Homologous structure Vestigial structure Analogous structure 1. Recap main ideas of natural selection: 1. Evolution is change in species over time. 2. There is overproduction of offspring, which leads to competition for resources. 3. Heritable variations exist within a population. 4. These variations can result in differential reproductive success. 5. Over generations, this can result in changes in the genetic composition of the population. Remember: Individuals do NOT evolve! Populations evolve. 2. Evidence for Evolution: 1. Direct Observations 2. Fossil Record 3. Homology 4. Biogeography Evidence for Evolution: 1. Direct Observations o Examples: Insect populations become resistant to pesticides (DDT) Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA) Peppered moth (pollution in city vs. country) Evidence for Evolution: 2. Fossil Record Fossils = remains or traces of organisms from past Found in sedimentary rock Paleontology: study of fossils Show evolutionary changes that occur over time and origin of major new groups of organisms EX: Ankle bones Prokaryotes (oldest fossils) eukaryotes (fish – amphibians – reptiles – birds – mammals) Transitional forms = links to modern species Evidence for Evolution: 3. Homology Homology: characteristics in related species can have underlying similarity even though functions may differ Examples: Homologous structures: similar anatomy from common ancestors (eg. forelimbs of human/cat/whale/bat) Embryonic homologies: similar early development (eg. vertebrate embryos with tail & pharyngeal pouches) Vestigial organs: structures w/little or no use EX. Human Appendix, Eyes for mole rats, femur in whales, flightless bird wings Molecular homologies: similar DNA and amino acid sequences Compare DNA and amino acid sequences Evolutionary Trees Convergent Evolution Distantly related species can resemble one another Similar problem, similar solutions! Analogous structures: similar structures, function in similar environments Eg. Torpedo shape of shark, penguin, & dolphin Evidence for Evolution: 4. Biogeography Biogeography = geographic distribution of a species Species in nearby geographic areas resemble each other Continental drift and Pangaea explains similarities on different continents Endemic species: found at a certain geographic location and nowhere else Eg. Marine iguanas in the Galapagos Island Biogeography 3. Tree of Life
