Goal 3.05d: Applications of Evolution through Natural Selection The process through which natural selection occurs varies according to the environment and the organisms involved. Divergent Evolution = when species develop from a common ancestor evolutionarymodel.com Convergent Evolution = when species develop similar traits but are not evolutionarily connected. pbs.org Parallel Evolution = when species develop from common ancestor along a parallel path without diverging. biologie.uni-hamburg.de Coevolution = a change in the genetic composition of one species (or group) in response to a genetic change in another. sdakotabirds.com Three Types of Natural Selection Stabilizing Selection = maintains an already existing system. > > > > eliminates organisms that deviate from the norm. environment must remain unchanged. explains why there are “living fossils.” as long as environment doesn’t change, organisms won’t change. Ginkgo Tree Horseshoe Crab Directional Selection = favors one extreme or the other. > eliminates organisms that are not in that extreme. > eventually leads to changes in the population. > occurs when organisms must adapt to a change in their environment. > may develop into a RESISTANCE (the ability of an organism to withstand a harmful agent). MALARIA Directional Selection: PESTICIDE Resistance Pesticide = kills insects (pests) Insects with resistance live to reproduce… Resulting in a new population of resistant insects. This insect was not. This insect was born with resistance. • Malaria is a bacteria transported by mosquitoes. • DDT (toxic pesticide) was used to kill mosquitoes. • India 1959 DDT-resistant mosquitoes were detected. • When directional selection occurs, the resistant mosquitoes survive to produce a new resistant population. Resistance is amplified by directional selection. • The directional selection of malaria has led to a change in the gene pool of persons living in malariainfested areas. • Sickle-cell anemia is a disease of the blood in which the hemoglobin does not develop properly and the red blood cell is sickle-shaped. • HEMOGLOBIN is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen throughout the body. Directional Selection: ANTIBIOTIC Resistance Normal Antibiotics = kill bacteria Resistant Some bacteria are naturally resistant to antibiotics and must be killed by your body. Your Your doctor doctor gives gives you you antibiotics antibiotics to to help help your your body body kill kill the the normal normal bacteria. bacteria. This This allows allows your your body body to to concentrate concentrate on on the the RESISTANT RESISTANT bacteria. bacteria. Directional Selection and the Peppered Moth. > Before industrial revolution = moths are peppered. > After industrial revolution = moths are black. > After pollution controls = moths are peppered. Disruptive Selection = favors two extremes at one time. > eliminates organisms that are more common. > eventually leads to changes in the population. African butterflies can range from red to blue. The red and blues are foul-tasting to predators. The other colors are eaten more often resulting in a selection in favor of the extreme colors.
