Major Issues & Questions about Evolution• Our Concept of time is obscure: putting into
perspective and grasping the significance of long periods of time such as 100 yrs? 1000yrs? 10,000yrs? Or even a million years.
• The most difficult concept that Darwin proposed was that all living things are related by a common ancestor.
• How would you respond to this question?– When studying life do you include man with all
living things or do you separate man?

Descent with Modification (Evolution)
Evolution: the change over time of the genetic composition of populations
Natural selection:populations of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than others (differential reproductive success)
Evolutionary adaptations:a prevalence of inherited characteristics that enhance organisms’ survival and reproduction

Darwin’s Final Quote from his Book• "Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death,
the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.“
—On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, 1859

characteristics• Henslow Darwin’s mentor at Cambridge (Botanist)• FitzRoy Captain of HMS Beagle• Malthus Populations struggle for resources
(competition)• Wallace formulated same theory of natural selection

Observations made by Darwin• Variations exist in the population (heritable)• Reproduce Exponentially (if all are successful) • Populations tend to be stable• Resources are (become) limited• Differential Reproductive success (selection)• Artificial selection (breeding) modifies adaptations
![Page 14: Winter Break Extra Credit Procedures Answers must be turned in TODAY!!!! For full credit. Must bubble in a scan-tron (outside of class). All incorrect](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649f2a5503460f94c43e2d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Examples of Natural Selection• Guppies (pg. 447) examining the size & shape with
predation.– Predators: Killifish & Pike-Cichlid– Killifish: prey on small juvenile guppies– Pike-Cichlids: prey on larger sexually mature guppies therefore
guppies that are mature @ younger age/ samller in size will survive better.
*Expt: Guppies from “Pike-cichlid pools” were put transferred to a pool of Killifish and allowed to coexist for 11 yrs (30-60 generations)
*Results: observed guppies that were 14% heavier & slower maturation (age at maturity rose)
• HIV resistance: used a drug 3TC (replaces cytosine)– 3TC interferes w/reverse transcriptase– Blocks the reproduction of HIV– 3TC acted as a selective force (similar with antibiotic resistance)

Key points regarding Natural Selection
• Natural Selection is:– A process of editing what’s already there and
not a creative mechanism– Depends on the time & place with certain
characteristcs being favored over others.– What is adaptive in one situation may be
useless or harmful in another.

Darwin Envisioned a Tree of Life
• All organisms have common descent
• Each fork represents the diversity emerging
• 99% of all species that ever existed have gone extinct (**lots of dead branches)
• Linnaean hierarchy fitted Darwin’s view
• Became evident as he examined the finches– Adaptive radiation

Fossil Evidence
Fossils: remains and traces left behind by organisms-most direct evidence for evolution-provides a record of ancient organisms that have existed-able to generate a timeline-observe the presence of vestigial structures-ancestral descent and lineages can be generated-more aquatic fossils vs. terrestrial have been found
Types of Fossils: imprints, hair, nails, tissue, and other remains
Locations: sedimentary rock, ice, amber, tar, quicksand, petrification

Issues/Arguments with Fossil Evidence
• Record is Incomplete• Transitional fossils are lacking• Dating techniques are not very accurate (wide ranges)• Fossils are difficult to find
– Conditions must be perfect to form & remain intact
• Provides evidence of species that existed but are now extinct (ex. dinosaurs)
• What if fossils were never found?

Introductory Questions #21) What is meant by homoplastic features?2) Organisms that are from separate ancestries adapt to their
environments similarly from similar structures. This is an example of .
3) How many vestigial structures have been observed in humans. Name three of them.
4) Why is biogeography (distribution of species) important evidence for evolution?
5) Why is the chimpanzee considered to be the closest living relative of humans?

Key Points to Remember
• A population evolves, not an individual organism• Natural Selection occurs through interactions between individuals• Variations in a population are heritable that are not “acquired in
their lifetime” • Natural selection is the “mechanism” of evolution• The accumulation of small gradual changes over long periods of
time results in larger changes (adaptations)• A new species emerges with slightly different characteristics usually
because of being isolated. (Galapagos Islands)• How and why organisms are able to transmit heritable traits to the
next generation was not explained by Darwin.• Evolution can only modify existing structures.

Population genetics• Population:
a localized group of individuals belonging to the same species
• Species: a group of populations whose
individuals have the potential to interbreed and produce fertile offspring
• Gene pool: the total aggregate of genes in a
population at any one time• Population genetics:
the study of genetic changes in populations
• Modern synthesis/neo-Darwinism• “Individuals are selected, but populations
evolve.”

Hardy-Weinberg Principle• Model proposed in 1908• Represents an ideal situation• Seldom occurs in nature• Mathematical model is used to compare populations• Allows biologists to calculate allele frequencies in a
population• Serves as a model for the genetic structure of a non-evolving population (equilibrium)Represents “genetic equilibrium”If the allele frequencies deviate from the predicted values of HW then
the population is said to be evolving.

Hardy-Weinberg Theorem
5 conditions for Equilibrium
-Very large population size
- No migration
- No net mutations
- Random mating
- No natural selection
**when all these are met then a population is not evolving

Hardy-Weinberg Equation
• p=frequency of one allele (A); q=frequency of the other allele (a)
• p+q=1.0
• (p=1-q & q=1-p)
• P2=frequency of AA genotype
• 2pq=frequency of Aa
• q2=frequency of aa genotype;
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.0

Solving & Analyzing HW Principle• Problem: If you had 90 individuals that possessed the recessive
condition in a population of 1000 individuals, determine the frequency of dominant and recessive alleles present in the population as well as the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies.
(1) Always start with the # of homozygous recessive alleles - aa = 90 and q2 = 90/1000 which is 0.09 - a = square root of 0.09 which is 0.3 - A = (1 – 0.3) which is 0.7 - AA = (0.7) 2 which is 0.49
- Aa = ???
**Remember that p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 (AA) (Aa) (aa)

Microevolution
• Involves small or minor changes in the allele frequencies within a population
• Five processes have been identified:– Nonrandom mating (inbreeding & assortative mating)– Gene flow (migration between populations) – Genetic drift (bottleneck effect)– Mutations (unpredictable change in DNA)– Natural selection (differential reproduction)
**certain alleles are favored over others in nature

Microevolution
A change in the gene pool of a population over a succession of generations
Genetic drift: changes in the gene pool of a small population due to chance (usually reduces genetic variability)
