Warm Up • Monday 1/28/13 • What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis. MON 1/28/13-Sub Independent student work Warm Up • Tuesday 1/29/13 • Define evolution in your own words. Evolution #1 Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Objectives • Define evolution • Explain Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution • Evolution, is change over time, OR is the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms. • A scientific theory is a well-supported testable explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world. Evolution is a Theory – Just like Gravity! • Evolution is a well supported explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world • A theory in science is a well tested hypothesis, not just a guess Evolution is when organisms change over time. So, modern organisms descended from ancient ones Charles Darwin: born in England in 1809 Sailed around the world 1831-1836 How do you think Darwin came up with his theory? Voyage of the Beagle Darwin’s Journey Factors of Darwin’s theory of Evolution. • Darwin observed such a large variation of species in similar environments. • He observed fossils • Darwin observed that the characteristics of many animals and plants varied noticeably among the different islands. • List one factor that YOU think! What did Darwin’s Travels reveal • The diversity of living species was far greater than anyone had previously known!! – Diversity = Many different kinds of species • These observations led him to develop the theory of evolution!! 1. Patterns of Diversity • Darwin visited Argentina and Australia which had similar grassland ecosystems. – those grasslands were inhabited by very different animals. – neither Argentina nor Australia was home to the sorts of animals that lived in European grasslands. Examples of Diversity • He saw rabbits in England but not in Australia even though the environment was similar 2. Living Organisms and Fossils • Darwin collected the preserved remains of ancient organisms, called fossils. • Some of those fossils resembled organisms that were still alive today. Living Organisms and Fossils • Others looked completely unlike any creature he had ever seen. • As Darwin studied fossils, new questions arose. – Why had so many of these species disappeared? – How were they related to living species? Fossils Types of fossils Cast Trace fossils Frozen or amber mold Imprints Petrified fossils Imprint The Galapagos Island • A group of islands off the northwest coast of South America • The islands are close together but have very different climates • Darwin observed that the characteristics of many plants and animals varied among the different islands. • Examples from the Islands: Land tortoises Galapagos finches More examples on the Galapagos Islands Blue footed booby Marine Iguanas 4. The Journey Home • Darwin Observed that – Many islands close together had different climates. – Characteristics of many plants and animals varied greatly among the islands Darwin finally published his ideas in 1859 in his book “The Origin of Species” that summarized all his findings from his trip around the world. Lamarck Theory of acquired characteristics • Lamarck said organisms acquired traits by using their bodies in new ways • These new characteristics were passed to offspring • Lamarck was totally wrong! Avid Thinking Strategy Cartoon Project The cartoon does not have to be funny. It should be drawn on a blank sheet of paper with an explanation. Cartoon 1.Single frame cartoon 2.Three color minimum. ( black and white do not count) 3.Two-line caption. Explanation 1.State the science concept being shown. 2.Write a 2-3 sentence explanation of why the cartoon shows the concept. NO CLASS • Rachel’s Challenge-no class Warm Up • Thursday 1-31-13 • Explain the term theory in your own words. Evolution #2 Fossils, Artificial Selection, & Natural Selection Objectives • Define artificial selection • Define natural selection • State the importance of fossils in relative dating. Evidence of Evolution 1. Fossil Record 2. Geographic Distribution of Living Species 3. Homologous Body structures 4. Similarities in Embryology 1. The Fossil Record Fossil Record provides evidence that living things have evolved Fossils show the history of life on earth and how different groups of organisms have changed over time Relative vs. Absolute Dating Relative Dating Can determine a fossil’s relative age Performed by estimating fossil age compared with that of other fossils Drawbacks – provides no information about age in years 2. 2. Geographic Distribution of Living Species Similar animals in different locations were the product of different lines of descent Homologous body structures Structures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues. Wings and legs all descended from fish fins. e.g. Wing of bat, human arm, leg of turtle Turtle Alligator Bird Homologous Body Structures Vestigial Organs – traces of homologous organs in other species – Organ that serves no useful function e.g. Appendix in man Similarities in Embryology In their early stages of development, many animals look similar, providing evidence that they shared a common ancestry. Embryological development Artificial Selection Nature provides variation, humans select variations that are useful. Example - a farmer breeds only his best livestock. 1. Evolution by Natural Selection What do you think natural selection mean? (“Nature chooses”, chooses what? Best adaptations for survival) The Struggle for Existence-members of each species have to compete for food, shelter, other life necessities in order to survive. Survival of the Fittest-Some individuals are better suited for the environment. Organisms with most favorable adaptation will survive. Natural Selection Natural selection is the process by which individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. Fitness is the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in its specific environment. Adaptation: an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival. 2. Components of Natural Selection • Not all individuals will be able to reproduce. • Due to environmental issues, illness, etc… • DIFFERENTIAL REPRODUCTION Birds eat green beetles, not brown ones. What’s Left? What’s the end result? Components of Natural Selection The brown trait has a genetic basis. The brown beetles that are left will mate and have brown offspring. This is called HEREDITY. • Finally, the brown trait (which is more advantageous) allows the beetle to survive in order to reproduce. • Eventually, all beetles in this population will be brown. • This PHENOTYPE has been SELECTED over the green phenotype.

Descent with Modification • Descent with Modification- Natural selection produces organisms that have different structures, establish different niches or occupy different habitats. – This causes today’s species to look different from their ancestors. Common Descent- were derived from common ancestors Summary of Darwin’s Theory 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. Warm Up • Friday 2/1/13 • What is the difference between genotype & phenotype? Give an example of each. Lab Warm Up • Monday 2/4/13 • Define artificial selection in your own words. Monday-SUB • Independent student work Avid Thinking Strategy Design a future Creature 1. Design a future creature. ( Fake/imaginary) 2. Use at least 3 colors to illustrate the creature 3. List 5 adaptations that would provide an advantage to the creature (natural selection) 4. Define natural selection in your own words. ( 1 sentence) 1. Give an example of natural selection ( 1 sentence) 2. Give a nonexample of natural selection ( 1 sentence ) Warm Up • Tuesday 2-5-13 • Explain the concept “survival of the fittest” in your own words. Evolution #3 Population Evolution Objectives • Define population. • Define gene pool. • Compare and contrast genetic variations. Evolution of Populations Occurs when there is a change in relative frequency of alleles VOCABULARY REVIEW • Evolution – change over time • NATURAL SELECTION – Individuals better adapted to the environment are able to survive and reproductive. – “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST” NEW VOCABULARY • POPULATION – Group of individuals of same species that interbreed. • GENE POOL – Common group of all genes present in a population. 1. Variation and Gene Pool Combined genetic information of all members. Allele frequency = number of times alleles occur in a population. Evolution: Any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population 2. Single-Gene vs. Polygenic Traits Single-Gene trait: any trait controlled by one gene (example: tongue rolling) Natural selection on single-gene traits can lead to change in allele frequencies and thus evolution. Distinct phenotype Polygenic traits: any trait controlled by two or more genes (example: height in human) Many Phenotypes 3. Natural selection affects the distribution of phenotypes in three ways: • Directional selection- Individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness than those in the middle. – Example: seed size and birds beak size. • Stabilizing selection-Individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than those at either ends of the curve. – Example: weight of human infants at birth •Disruptive selection-Individuals at the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than those near the middle. •Example: seed size and bird beak size. 4. Natural Selection on Polygenic Traits Genetic Variation Gene Flow Movement of genes from one population to another. Mutation Sex Sexual reproduction causes new combinations of genes. Changes in DNA 1. Sources of genetic Variation in Populations Mutations change in DNA sequence Gene Shuffling – from sexual reproduction 2. Genetic Drift • Suppose that some organism left behind a few more offspring than other organisms. • The ones that are left are the “lucky” ones. – But their genes may be no more advantageous than anyone else’s. • Entirely random. • Doesn’t produce adaptations, only a mixing of the gene pool. 3.Genetic Drift changes populations • Random change in allele frequency causes an allele to become common 4. Founder Effect: genetic drift due to the migration of a small subgroup of a population. – Example: fruit flies migrating from mainland to different Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian Honeycreepers •Adaptive radiation – these species all diverged from a common ancestor (founder species) FOUNDER SPECIES Conditions needed for Genetic Equilibrium 1 2 3 4 5 5 SPECIATION Speciation is the formation of new species • As new species evolve, populations become reproductively isolated. 1. Reproductive Isolation – Members of two population cannot interbreed & produce fertile offspring. ISOLATING MECHANISMS…….. 2. Behavioral Isolation - capable of breeding but have differences in courtship rituals (EX. Meadowlarks) 3. Geographical Isolation – Separated by geographic barrier like rivers ,mountains, or bodies of water (ex: squirrel) 4. Temporal Isolation – Two or more species reproduce at different times. Table 23.1a Name the type of Isolation • A. Populations on the same species of seal live on islands too far apart to swim to mate. • B. Herds of caribou misinterpret each other’s mating behavior so they fight instead of mate. • C. Flowers pollinating at different seasons.
