•Humans have 46 chromosomes
•Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes
•Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for each gene – one from each parent, 1 on each homologous pair

Sex chromosomes: In humans, females are XX and males are XY
• The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X, so males carry only a single gene for some traits. This makes the males more likely to have some traits (like color blindness).
• These are called sex-linked traits

While genes determine our traits, the environment can affect the expression of genes
![Page 5: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Each chromosome has hundreds and thousands of genes
Each gene holds the code for a particular protein
REMEMBER: Genes carry the code to make
protein, but genes (DNA) are made of nucleic acids
![Page 6: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DNA is made of 4 bases:
A T C G
The three letter codon represents a specific amino acid – these amino acids are assembled into proteins
Base pairs:
in DNA: A-T and C-G
in RNA: A-U and C-G

Changes to the DNA are called mutations. They can only be passed on if they are in the sex
(reproductive) cells (egg or sperm)Common mutagenic agents include
Radiation Chemicals Viruses
Mutations may cause a change in the structure of the protein coded for by a gene. This will have an effect on the way the protein works (if it works at all).

All cells in the body have the same genes (DNA).
Only some genes are turned on.
We are not sure yet why this happens
![Page 10: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Selective breeding: produces plants and animals with desired traits (disease resistant, larger fruit, leaner meat, more milk, specific colors)
2. Genetic engineering or gene splicing: inserts the genes of one organism into the genes of another. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA segments.
3. Bacteria are often used because they have no nucleus protecting their DNA and they reproduce very quickly.

UNIT VI
![Page 15: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Modern species evolved from earlier species and share a common ancestor
![Page 16: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Charles Darwin proposed that natural selection is the mechanism that causes change. The basic steps in natural selection are:
1. Overproduction of offspring. Offspring have variation.
2. Competition for limited resources. Variation affects the outcome of competition.
3. Survival and passing on genes or death and no passing on of genes
4. Variations that are beneficial are passed on and become more common. Variations that are harmful become less common because they are not passed on.
![Page 17: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Survival of the Fittest”
Better adapted organisms are more likely to survive and pass their genes on.
Less adapted organisms usually die and do not pass their genes on.
Better adapted (more fit) organisms are not always stronger, they are just better adapted to the environment
![Page 18: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Species that cannot adapt to their environment become extinct.
Animals die – species become extinct
Species do not evolve because they need to, they just have variations that are favorable, and those variations continue on (evolve).
Variations exist as a result of sexual reproduction and mutations.
Species with more variations are better able to survive environmental change than those with little diversity.

PUNCTUATED EQUILIBRIUM: evolution occurred in quick bursts
GRADUALISM: evolutionary change occurs slowly
![Page 20: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Creation of a new species usually requires geographic isolation. Geographic isolation eventually results in reproductive isolation.
Evidence in support of evolution comes from the fields of:
1. Geology (fossils and radioactive dating)
2. Genetics
3. Biochemistry
4. Anatomy (homologous and analogous structures)
5. Embryology

KINGDOMS are large groups of related organisms (bacteria, protists, animals, plants)
SPECIES are able to successfully reproduce amongst its members
Branching tree diagrams show evolutionary relationships

ENERGY
Energy is needed to keep an ecosystem going. Energy comes from the sun and is made usable by producers (plants/autotrophes)
Energy is passed on to other organisms in the form of food
![Page 30: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ENERGYSince all organisms must
use energy for their own needs, most energy is lost before it can be passed to the next step in the food chain. As a result, organisms high on the food chain have less energy available to them and must have smaller populations.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Environmental factors determine which organisms can live in an ecosystem and how large the populations can get.
Air Water Temperature pH Food Predators

Carrying Capacity
The maximum size of a population is called the carrying capacity
![Page 33: Humans have 46 chromosomes Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes Chromosome pairs carry alleles for the same trait. We all have two alleles for.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bf6f1a28abf838c7d332/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ECOSYSTEM NICHES
There many roles in an ecosystem (niche), but competition between species usually results in only one species occupying a niche at any one time. Often organisms with similar needs will divide resources to reduce competition.
Example: Birds eat insects during the day and bats eat insects at night.

The negative effects human’s have had on the environment are mostly attributed to the increasing human population causing
1. Acid rain : the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce electricity. In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air. These pollutants cause acid rain.
2. Loss of habitat: as more and more people move to the cities, urban sprawl replaces natural habitats. The habitats that remain are fragmented and depleted.
3. Loss of diversity: loss of habitats lead to loss of diversity
4. Loss of ozone: the over use of chloroflourocarbon (CFC) compounds has led to the destruction of the layer over the earth that protects us from harmful UV rays (this has led to an increase in skin cancers)

5. Global warming: Is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans
6. Introduced species: when natural species are threatened by the invasion of exotic plants and animals
7. Industrialization: rapid industrial growth and vehicle exhausts has made water pollution, air pollution, and hazardous wastes pressing environmental problems in many areas of the developing world

BIODIVERSITY Refers to the variety of life on earth As habitats and are lost and species become
extinct, biodiversity is reduced Ecosystems with low diversity are less stable
than ecosystems with more diversity Ecosystems with low diversity take longer to
recover from environmental changes We use organisms for many things such as
food and medicine; by reducing biodiversity we are losing potentially valuable resources
