Two main sources of genetic variation

1. Mutations—change in genes (DNA sequence) or chromosomes

2. Gene recombination—mixing of genes that result from meiosis

and sexual reproduction

Page 3: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Gene Pool—the combined genetic information of all the

members of a particular populaiton

Page 4: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 5: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 6: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 7: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Speciation—formation of a new species through reproductive

isolation

Example: Galapagos Island finches

Ground Squirrels

**Quick Speciation Activity**

Types of reproductive isolation1. Behavioral isolation (sympatric)

2. Geographical isolation (allopatric)

Which type did we demonstrate in our activity?

If one of the Earth’s plates moves 1.9 cm a yr., in 1 million years it would

move 12 miles

Page 10: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Geographic Isolation

Some birds from species A cross to a second island.

The two populations no longer share a gene pool.

Page 11: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Seed sizes on the second island favor birds with large beaks.

The population on the second island evolves into population B, with larger beaks.

Species—a group of similar organisms that can breed and

produce fertile offspring

Exit Slip

• List the conditions required for a population to become a species.

Types of selection

Page 18: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

1. Disruptive Selection • Selection that splits a population into 2

groups.

• Removes individuals with average traits, but keeps those with more extreme traits.

Page 19: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

2. Stabilizing Selection• Eliminates extreme expressions of a trait

when the average expression leads to higher fitness.

• Most common form of natural selection.

Page 20: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

3. Directional Selection

• An extreme version of a trait makes an organism more fit.

Page 21: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Height Selection Activity:

•Only extremely tall and extremely short •Only medium•Only extremely tall

Page 22: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

4. Sexual Selection

• Operates in populations where males and females look very differently.

• Typically, males will be larger and more colorful.

Types of Evolution

Page 24: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Adaptive radiation (divergent evolution)—

a single species evolves into several new species that live

in different ways

Page 25: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Convergent evolution—

unrelated species independently

evolve similarities when adapting to

similar environments

Page 26: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 27: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Coevolution— two species evolve in response to changes

in each other over time

Example: mutualism

Moth pollinates the comet orchid

Page 28: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Rate of Evolution

Page 29: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Catastrophism

• Evolution occurs after a catastrophy

Page 30: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Gradualism

• Evolution proceeds in small, gradual steps

Page 31: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Punctuated Equilibrium

• Rapid spurts of genetic change that cause species to diverge quickly.

• These periods disrupt much longer periods when the species exhibit little change.

• Instances of abrupt transitions.

Chapter 17The History of Life

Page 34: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

If one of the Earth’s plates moves 1.9 cm a yr., in 1 million years it

would move 12 miles

Page 35: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Fossil record—information about past life that has been obtained

from fossils-it is incomplete

Page 39: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 40: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

1. Most organisms are now extinct

2. fossils occur in a particular order

3. groups of organisms have changed over time

Page 41: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Extinct—a species that has died out

Page 42: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Where do most fossils form?

Most fossils form in sedimentary rock as weight compresses layers

of sediment in bodies of water

Page 43: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Index Fossil—an easily recognized species used to compare the relative ages of

fossils

Page 44: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers.

When part of Earth’s crust is compressed, a bend in a rock forms, tilting the rock layers.

As the surface erodes due to water, wind, waves, or glaciers, the older rock surface is exposed.

New sediment is then deposited above the exposed older rock surface.

Page 45: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations
Page 46: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Water carries small rock particles to lakes and seas.

Dead organisms are buried by layers of sediment, which forms new rock.

The preserved remains may later be discovered and studied.

Page 47: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Relative dating—the age of a fossil is determined by comparing its placement with fossils in other

layers

The oldest layers are on the bottom

Page 48: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Half-life—the length of time required for half of the

radioactive atoms in a sample to decay

Carbon-14 5770Uranium-235 713 million yrsPotassium-40 1.3 billion yrsUranium-238 4.5 billion yrs

Page 49: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Radioactive dating—scientists use half-life to calculate the age

of fossils based on the amount of remaining radioactive isotopes

Page 50: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Microfossils—microscopic fossil

Page 51: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Page 54: Chapter 16 Evolution of Populations

Mass Extinction—many types of living things become extinct

in a short period of time

Example: Dinosaurs
