Chapter 16 EVOLUTION & SPECIATION VOCABULARY REVIEW • ALLELE – ONE OF A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF A TRAIT • GENE – THE DNA SEQUENCE FOR A TRAIT • GENOTYPE – REPRESENTATION OF THE GENE • PHENOTYPE – PHYSICAL CHAR. OF AN ORGANISM • VARIATION – DIFFERENCES /DIVERSITY • Example - Blood type has 3 alleles (A, B, and O); it has 6 genotypes; providing a variation of 4 blood types NEW VOCABULARY • POPULATION – GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS OF SAME SPECIES THAT INTERBREED • GENE POOL – COMMON GROUP OF ALL GENES PRESENT IN A POPULATION Gene Pool Combined genetic info. of all members Allele frequency is # of times alleles occur (has nothing to do with dominant or recessive!) Variation in Populations 2 processes can lead to this: Mutations change in DNA sequence Gene Shuffling – from sexual reproduction Genetic Drift changes populations……. • Random change in allele frequency causes an allele to become more or less common • Founder Effect: one cause of genetic drift • Gene Flow: genetic exchange due to the migration of fertile individuals or gametes between populations (reduces differences between populations) • Nonrandom mating: inbreeding and selective breeding (both shift frequencies of different genotypes) • Natural Selection: adapts a population to its environment Sexual selection • Sexual dimorphism • Sexual selection: selection towards secondary sex characteristics that leads to sexual dimorphism Evolution of Populations • change in relative frequency of alleles How natural selection works Resistance to antibacterial soap Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant How natural selection works Resistance to antibacterial soap Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant How natural selection works Resistance to antibacterial soap Generation 1: 1.00 not resistant 0.00 resistant Generation 2: 0.96 not resistant 0.04 resistant mutation!

What type of selection is human birth weight? Changes in populations due to geographic factors Environmentslight differences may influence direction of natural selection H – allele for normal hemoglobin S – allele for sickle hemoglobin Genotypes: HH Normal blood, no malaria resistance HS SS Mostly normal, malaria resistance All sickle, will die young Distribution of malaria Distribution of sickle cell trait Think about it: 1. What type of selection is the malarial resistance in Africa? 2. What would happen to the sickle cell allele if malaria were eradicated? (look at how common the allele is in other parts of the world!) 3. So what might be the type of selection for the sickle cell allele in Europe? Conditions needed for Genetic Equilibrium SPECIATION • FORMATION OF NEW SPECIES • AS NEW SPECIES EVOVLVE, POPULATIONS BECOME REPRODUCTIVELY ISOLATED 2 NEW POPULATIONS CANNOT INTERBREED & PRODUCE FERTILE OFFSPRING. 3 ISOLATING MECHANISMS…….. 1. BEHAVIORAL ISOLATION- capable of breeding but have differences in courtship rituals (ex. eastern and western meadowlarks) 2. GEOGRAPHICAL ISOLATION – separated by geographic barriers like rivers, mountains, or bodies of water (ex. Albert and Kaibab squirrels) 3. TEMPORAL ISOLATION – 2 or more species reproduce at different times. (ex. Orchids) Tigon Offspring are infertile. Liger Separated both geographically and ecologically. Fig. 23.6 Four species of leopard frogs: differ in their mating calls. Hybrids do not live. Learning check: What type of isolation is this? These squirrels live on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon. This is an example of ________ isolation. Hawaiian Honeycreepers An example of adaptive radiation – these species all diverged from a common ancestor (founder species) FOUNDER SPECIES SPECIATION IN DARWIN’S FINCHES • SPECIAITON IN THE GALAPAGOS FINCHES OCCURRED BY: - FOUNDING OF A NEW POPULATION, - GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION which led to – REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION and CHANGES IN THE NEW POPULATION’S GENE POOL due to COMPETITION. Patterns of Macroevolution 1.Adaptive Radiation 2.Convergent evolution 3.Coevolution 4.Extinction 1. Adaptive Radiation Flying Squirrel Sugar Glider Marsupial Mammals 2. Convergent Evolution and Analogous Structures Placental mammals Mammalia Rat like common ancestor Think about it: What are other examples of convergent evolution? 3. COEVOLUTION 4. Extinction •Usually coincides with global climate change •99% off all species that ever lived are now extinct
