Types of Natural selection Wednesday 1/22/14 Grab a book and a new bellringer so you are not TARDY LT: I can identify types of selection BR: What is natural selection? ** if you finish bellringer begin & finish vocab for day 2. We will begin class 10 min after bell rings. Day 2 is due on Tuesday 2 Friday 1/24/14 Study day 2 vocab for quiz on Monday Continue day 3 vocab Finish worksheet for lab yesterday natural selection is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce What have we been studying in class so far how does it connect 4 Evolution by Natural Selection Steps: 1. Individuals vary in some traits. 2. Some of the differences in traits are passed along to offspring. This requires a genetic basis to the trait The trait is thus heritable (more…) 5 Evolution by Natural Selection 3. Different individuals produce different numbers of surviving offspring. Produce different numbers, or Different numbers survive. 4. The particular value of a trait is connected to the number of offspring produced. Traits that allow for more offspring to be produced are said to be “naturally selected.” 6 evolution Evidence of evolution Natural selection Genes 7 Types of Natural Selection Directional – The most extreme form of a trait is favored and becomes more common Disruptive- 2 extreme forms of a trait are selected for Stabilizing-The average form of a trait is favored and becomes more common 8 Example 1 The tall man virus has taken over the country. It only infects men over the height of 6 feet. Scientists are scrambling to find a cure. This is an example of what type of selection. Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Directional because it selects for one extreme of the population. Thus the allele for short men will continue on while the allele for tall men are being selected against Example 2 Clutch Size in Birds: Females that lay intermediate numbers of eggs have the highest reproductive success. Too many eggs, and the offspring all starve. Too few eggs, and the mother could have laid more. Called the Lack optimum, it applies to many birds. Stabilizing because individuals with the average trait have the highest fitness. Example 3 A population of rabbits consist of black, white and gray fur color. If this population of rabbits were put into an area that had very dark black rocks as well as very white colored stone, the rabbits with black fur would be able to hide from predators amongst the black rocks and the white furred rabbits would be able to hide in the white rocks, but the gray furred rabbits would stand out in both of the habitats and thus would not survive. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Disruptive because it is selecting for the individuals with either extreme of the trait. Example 4 Infants with average birth weight are more likely to survive than a baby that is too small or too large. The bell curve peaks at a birth weight that has the minimum death rate. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Stabilizing because individuals with the average trait have the highest fitness. Example 5 Salmon migrate to the rivers they were reproduce at approximately the same time every year. Fisherman know this and fish for salmon at this time. However a population of fish arrive earlier than the other salmon. This earlier population has been growing larger every year while the later population has been growing smaller. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Directional because it selects for one extreme of the population. Thus salmon that mate at an earlier time of the year are being selected for. Example 6 The giraffe population at one time was made up of giraffes with different neck sizes, short, medium, long. However, tree heights only got taller and taller until there were no short trees to eat from. Over time the short neck giraffes died and only long neck giraffes survived. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Directional because it selects for one extreme of the population. Thus the allele for short necks will not continue on while the allele for tall necks are being selected for Example 7 imagine a plant of extremely variable height that is pollinated by three different pollinators, one that was attracted to short plants, another that preferred plants of medium height and a third that visited only the tallest plants. If the pollinator that preferred plants of medium height disappeared from an area, medium height plants would be selected against and the population would tend toward both short and tall, but not medium height plants. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Disruptive because it is selecting for the individuals with either extreme of the trait. Example 8 The desert population of spiny cacti are under attack. Peccaries are eating those plants with low-spine-number. A second predator, a parasitic insect, arrives in the study area. Preferring densely spined cacti, these egg-laying parasites more often destroy varieties of plants with larger numbers of spines. The only cacti left are those with a moderate amount of spines. What type of selection is this? Draw the appropriate graph that goes with it. Stabilizing because individuals with the average trait have the highest fitness. Example 9 A population of birds with small medium and large beaks exists. The birds with small beaks can only eat small seeds, the medium beak birds can only eat medium seeds and the large beak birds can only eat large seeds. The plants that provide medium seeds dies out and thus the medium beak bird population dies off. What type of selection is this and draw the graph that goes with it. Disruptive because it is selecting for the individuals with either extreme of the trait. anatomy study of structure of body: the branch of science that studies the physical structure of animals, plants, and other organisms embryology The scientific study of embryos and their development BIOGEOGRAPHY The study of geographical distribution of living things Wednesday 1/22/14 LT: I can Analyze data from an activity and explain how it supports the theory of natural selection citing evidence from the data. BR: List the three types of selection and give examples of each. ** Quiz Thursday 21 Thursday 1/23/14 LT: I can Analyze data from an activity and explain how it supports the theory of natural selection citing evidence from the data. BR: Does natural selection create the perfect organism? Explain your choice Day 2 vocab quiz tomorrow Peppered moth simulation A few changes to the lab Number of moths will be 15 for the starting population Time to pick up moths will be 20 seconds Don’t sigh or your moths will fly away!! Watch your sleeves because the moths will escape with your clothing!!! This will be graded! Do your best as you always do! Monday January 27, 2014 LT: I can design a species and relate it’s adaptations to it’s overall FITNESS BR: what does FITNESS mean? ** vocab quiz get a chrome book and study!! Tuesday 1/28/14 LT: I can research a species and relate it’s adaptations to it’s overall FITNESS BR: what is the weirdest animal you have ever seen or heard of?
