EVOLUTION Theory of Evolution -Evidence for Evolution - Part 1 Theory of Evolution and Selection Evolution is a Theory In common usage, people use the word theory to mean a guess. In science, does the word theory mean a guess? Name some additional theories. Evolution is a Theory Name some additional theories: Cell Theory-cell is the basic unit of living things Quantum Theory-describes very small particles Germ Theory- microbes cause disease Plate Tectonics- continental plates are shifting Heliocentrism-sun is the center of the universe, which superseded geocentrism Theory of Evolution How has evolution risen in status to the level of THEORY, the same level as gravity or plate tectonics? Through repeated observations from many areas of life sciences. Charles Darwin (Slide 1) Who is Charles Darwin? What was his profession? Where did he travel? What did he learn? What is his famous idea? Charles Darwin (2) Who is Charles Darwin? World renowned Naturalist-before there was Biology. Born Feb 12, 1809, same day as Lincoln. What a day!!! What was his profession? Ship’s Naturalist Where did he travel? All over the world. He is remembered most for his observations in the Galapagos Islands. What did he learn? That organisms change over long periods of time, evolution. What idea is he famous for? The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection Variation among organisms Describe how each can vary… Tortoises Saddle shaped shell for reaching higher vegetation or dome shaped shell if vegetation is more abundant. Also an intermediate form Bird beaks In finches, many varieties of beak shape to correspond to habitat. Lamarck (1) Describe John Baptiste-Lamarck Why is he such an important figure in modern biology? Lamarck (2) Describe John Baptiste-Lamarck He was a French naturalist. He published his hypothesis the year Darwin was born. He proposed the concept of Use and Disuse and Inheritance of Acquired Traits Why is he such an important figure in modern biology? Although his hypothesis hasn’t been supported by data, his groundbreaking thoughts influenced future naturalists like Darwin. Plus, as we learned in “Ghost in Your Genes”, he was not completely wrong. Selection Discuss in your own words what is meant by selection. Give an example of natural selection. Give an example of artificial selection. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 1. There is variation among organisms 2. More offspring are produced than can survive. 3. There is competition for limited resources 4. Natural Selection: Individuals best suited for their environment survive and pass down their traits. Descent with modification Race to the Finish Alfred Russell Wallace – Was thinking of the very same ideas at the same time. When Wallace sent him an essay about his hypothesis, Darwin quickly published the work he had been accumulating for 25 years. Darwin’s Influences Hutton– Proposed that the earth is in a constant state of change. Lyell- Proposed that these changes occur as a result of events such as earthquakes and volcanoes. Artificial Selection Give 2 examples of artificial selection… Page 379 Selection Ponderables Does selection act directly on genotypes or phenotypes? Which is more likely to be selected against, deleterious mutations that are dominant or those that are recessive? Why? Can selection create perfect organisms? Human’s backs are evolved from 4-legged ancestors and not fully compatible w upright posture, so many [older or very tall] people have back problems). Humans have a blind spot that even the octopus doesn’t have. -Blind Spot Test Part 2 Evidence for Evolution Early Clues What is probably the first clue that living things have changed over time? Fossils Fossil Evidence There is a story about the history of life written in rock. Relative dating--layers of rock (index fossils) Absolute dating--uses radioactive isotopes (half-life) How can the age of fossils be determined? Carbon dating—all living things made of carbon Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years If a fossil has ¼ of its original C-14, how old is it? See page 445 for graph and add’l problem Piecing the evidence together What other evidence has contributed to our current understanding? Geographic Distribution Island Patterns Tortoises and finches from mainland are adapted to fit their new island environment. Ex: necks and shell in tortoises. Similar Environments Organisms that live in similar environments often come to have similar adaptations. These are called analogous structures. Darwinian Prediction Darwin found an orchid whose reproductive organs were 30 cm deep inside the flower. Darwin postulated that a pollinator would be found with a 30 cm proboscis. It took 40 years, guess what scientists found!... Darwinian Prediction Xanthopan morganii praedicta – The Hawk Moth – Guess the length of the proboscis? – Notice its last name? – What kind of logic? • Inductive or deductive? Anatomical Evidence Homologous structures Structures that have different functions but arrived from same body part. Human arm, bird wing, turtle leg, alligator leg derived from an ancient, lobed fish (page 384) Evidence- Homologous Structures Anatomical Evidence Embryological Development Developing human embryo displays features from ancestors • Gill pouches • Tail • 3 sets of kidneys in humans http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/odyssey/clips/ Which Embryo is Which? Click Link: http://www.explora torium.edu/exhibits /embryo/embryofla sh.html Anatomical Evidence Did you know there are pelvic bones in snakes? In whales? Why? They are vestigial structures What vestigial structures do humans have? Appendix Analogous Structures The wing of a bird and the wing of an insect are not homologous. They do not arise from a common structure. They are analogous structures. They are two structures that have evolved separately to do the same job. Ex: Bird’s wing; insect’s wing Pouch of kangaroo; pouch of oppossum Piecing the evidence together What about our new understanding of genetics? How does this impact our model of evolution? Molecular Record Evidence The more amino acid (or DNA base pair) differences, the greater the evolutionary distance. Cladogram Cladogram (page 384, page 660) Evolutionary Tree--The ‘trunk’ of the tree represents similar traits or molecules (depending on how tree was made). Each branch represents a divergence. See page 452-- CLADOGRAM What is the common ancestor for the crab, barnacle and the limpit? Which of the above animals are most closely related, according to the cladogram (not the appearance). Modern Examples Are there any real life examples of evolution in modern time? Peppered moth story Bacteria superbugs (MRSA and TB) Human size and development Resistance to pesticides. Remember DDT? There are rats in England that no longer even get sick from 5 times the dose of pesticide that once killed most rats Industrial Melanism Peppered moth story See peppered moth sim See details of how the experimental method was implemented. How does this relate to the Clean Air Act? What types of selection can you attribute this to? Where did life come from?

O2) Spark (to represent lightning) Some amino acids, and cytosine and uracil Miller-Urey Conclusion What is the main idea of this experiment? How organic molecules (ex: protein or DNA) might have arisen from simpler molecules Biogenesis This is a good time to review Biogenesis. Compare biogenesis to abiogenesis. Describe the experiments that proved biogenesis. Redi, Pasteur Building Complexity How might cells with organelles have first come about? What is the evidence that some cell parts arose in this way? Building Complexity How might cells with organelles have first come about? Endosymbiosis-one prokaryotic cell engulfed another, and they remained in this symbiotic relationship. What is the evidence that some cell parts arose in this way? The membranes, circular chromosomes, ribosomes and cell division by binary fission of mitochondria and chloroplasts resemble today’s prokaryotes.
