Evolution Lamarck’s Theory of Acquired Inheritance (early 1800s) • Jean Baptiste Lamarck • Observed fossil records and the current diversity of life • Suggested that organisms evolved by the process of adaptation • Traits gained during a lifetime could then be passed on to the next generation Charles Darwin Observation #1 More offspring are produced that can possibly survive. BUT populations tend to remain stable AND there are limited resources SO the inference is: There is a struggle for survival between individuals of a population and not all will survive Aphaenogaster tipuna ants fighting over food OBSERVATION #2 Organisms display a lot of variety in their characteristics Much of this variety is inherited Inference #2: Those individuals whose inherited traits that best fit them to their particular environment will leave more offspring Inference #3: This unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce will cause a gradual change in the population Favorable characteristics will accumulate in the population over time Artificial selection Individuals DO NOT EVOLVE. Populations evolve Evolution is not caused by a NEED of an individual. Surviving does not contribute to evolution alone. There also has to be reproduction Acquired characteristics are not passed down to the next generation. Adaptations depend on the environment Evidence of Evolution • • • • • Fossil Record Biogeography Comparative anatomy Comparative embryology Molecular Biology Evidence: Fossil Record • Fossils – preserved remnants or impressions left by organisms that lived in the past. – often found in sedimentary rocks. http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/191116-18med.jpg Fossil Formation 1. Dead animal sinks. Tissue begins to decay 2. Carcass covered with sediment. Lower layers turn to rock. 3. Rock is folded. 4. Fossil is exposed at the surface. www.dkimages.com/.../Stage-3/Stage-3-1.html The fossil record • Is the ordered sequence of fossils as they appear in rock layers. • Reveals the appearance of organisms in a historical sequence. • Fits with other evidence of evolution. http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=398&rendTypeId=4 The fossil record Generally less complex forms of life are found in oldest rocks. http://www.biblicalcreation.org.uk/images/Matthew_Fig.jpg Evidence: Biogeography • The geographic distribution of species • Darwin noted that Galápagos animals – Resembled species of the South American mainland more than animals on similar but distant islands Evidence: Comparative Anatomy • Comparison of body structures between different species – Similarities give signs of common descent/common ancestor • Homologous structures—features that have similar structure but may have different functions Evidence: Comparative Anatomy • Vestigial structures—Small body structures that may have been functional in the ancestors of a species, but have no or limited function at the present time vestigial structures Evidence: Comparative embryology • Different organisms go through similar embryonic stages • All vertebrates have an embryonic stage in which gill pouches and post-anal tail—evidence of a common ancestor Molecular Biology • Study of molecular basis of genes • Universality of genetic code • Conservation of amino acid sequences in proteins such as hemoglobin/cytochrome C Figure 13.13 For each example below, identify the type of evidence of evolution 1. 2. Cats and humans both have muscles for moving their ears 3.The start codon places methionine at the first amino acid position for virtually all proteins 4. Over the past 47 million years the location of the nostrils are seen to have shifted posteriorly in relatives to the modern day dolphin Generation to generation change in the frequencies of alleles in the gene Causes: Natural selection Genetic drift Gene flow Mutation pool Natural selection Genetic Drift: changes in allele frequencies due to chance Ex #1: Natural disaster wipes out a portion of a population Fig. 13-11a-3 Original population Bottlenecking event Surviving population Example #2 Relatively few individuals start a new population in isolation founder effect Gene flow immigration or emigration of individuals (and their genes) Population A Population B Mutation introduces new alleles A population that is not evolving is in equilibrium Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium mathematically describes these populations p=frequency of the dominant allele q=frequency of the recessive allele p+q=1 p2 +2pq +q2=1 p2 = frequency of homozygous dominants 2pq= frequency of heterozygotes q2= frequency of homozygous recessives Conditions required for a population to maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Large population Random mating No natural selection No mutation No gene flow There are 100 students in a class. Ninety-six did well in the course whereas four blew it totally and received a grade of E. In the highly unlikely event that these traits are genetic rather than environmental, if these traits involve dominant and recessive alleles, and if the four (4%) represent the frequency of the homozygous recessive condition, calculate the following: The frequency of the recessive allele. The frequency of the dominant allele. The frequency of heterozygous individuals. Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). And, 40% of all butterflies are white. Given this informationm calculate the following: The percentage of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous. The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals. You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following: The frequency of the "aa" genotype. The frequency of the "a" allele. The frequency of the "A" allele. The frequencies of the genotypes "AA" and "Aa."
