Changes Over Time SOL: BIO 8 a-e

Page 3: Warm Up

• Standard BIO 8 a-e The student will investigate and understand how populations change through time. Key concepts include:

• a) evidence found in fossil records;• b) how genetic variation, reproductive

strategies, and environmental pressures impact the survival of populations;

• c) how natural selection leads to adaptations;

• d) emergence of new species; and• e) scientific explanations for

biological evolution.

Page 4: Warm Up

Theory of Evolution• Science is made up of many ideas, theories, and laws. Many of

these ideas have gone through many changes throughout the years.

• Our job as life-long learners is to examine all the evidence concerning a particular topic.

• Evolution is part of the Core Knowledge curriculum for Biology.• The origin of life is a sensitive subject for many people. There

are many theories concerning the change in things over time. • You may hold a different view than what will be presented as

part of the Core Knowledge curriculum. • Out goal is to explore the theory of evolution from a scientific

standpoint, not to discount any other theories on the origin of life.

Charles Darwin The Father of Evolution

Page 6: Warm Up

History• Darwin’s World (1809 - 1875)• Height of the British colonial

period.• Beginning of the Industrial

Revolution.• New Ideas:

– Taxonomy of Carolus Linnaeus– Lyell’s “Principles of Geology”

Page 7: Warm Up

Carolus Linnaeus

(1707 – 1778)Believed in the “Fixity of Species”

Page 8: Warm Up

Charles Lyell

• Father of Geology

Page 9: Warm Up

Charles Lyell’s view of the process of formation of sedimentary rock

Page 10: Warm Up

• Suggests that sedimentary rock is very old – therefore the species that are represented in this rock must also be old.

• Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.

• Older fossils will be found below younger fossils.

Page 11: Warm Up

Knowledge CheckWho was Linnaeus?

Who was Lyell?

If Lyell looked at fossils is a cross section of sediment, would the fossils more towards the surface be older or younger than those below? Why?

Charles DarwinAt the age of 22, he joined a 5 year expedition aboard the HMS Beagle to map the coast of South America

Page 14: Warm Up

1. Members of a population have heritable variations.(Inheritance of traits)

Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution:

Page 15: Warm Up

2. In a population, more individuals are produced than the environment can support. They compete for food and shelter. (overpopulation- struggle for survival).

Page 16: Warm Up

3. Some individuals have adaptive characteristics that enable them to survive and reproduce better than other individuals (survival of the fittest).

Page 17: Warm Up

4. An increasing number of individuals in succeeding generations have these adaptive characteristics (natural selection)

Page 18: Warm Up

Knowledge Check

Summarize the four components of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Page 19: Warm Up

Darwin described his theory in the form of a long essay which he called

“On the Origin of Species”.

Page 20: Warm Up

Concerned about the public’s response to his ideas(remember what happened to Galileo)

Arranged to publish his work …AFTER HIS DEATH !!

Page 24: Warm Up

• Through his observations made in the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin formulated a theory of how species change over time, called natural selection.

Page 25: Warm Up
Page 26: Warm Up

• Natural selection is governed by the principles of genetics.

• The change in the frequency of a gene in a given population leads to a change in a population and may result in the emergence of a new species.

• Natural selection operates on populations over many generations.

Page 27: Warm Up

Knowledge CheckWhat was the name of Darwin’s book?

On what island did Darwin make observations that lead him to develop his ideas about natural selection?

Explain how natural selection can be observed in a population. (Think Hardy Weinberg)

Page 28: Warm Up

Evolution• A change in successive

generations of organisms, due to random mutation and changes in the organisms’ surroundings

Page 29: Warm Up

• Evolution takes place through a set of processes that include: – mutation,– adaptation,– natural selection, – extinction.

Page 30: Warm Up

Mutation• Genetic mutations and variety

produced by sexual reproduction allow for diversity within a given population.

• Many factors can cause a change in a gene over time.

Page 31: Warm Up

Mutation• Mutations are

important in how populations change over time because they result in genetic changes to the gene pool.

Page 32: Warm Up

• Mutations are inheritable changes because a mutation is a change in the DNA code

Page 33: Warm Up

Mutation- a change in the DNAA mutation may

result in a:1. favorable change or adaptation in genetic information that improves a species’ ability to exist in its environment

Page 34: Warm Up

2. an unfavorable change that does not improve a species’ ability to exist in its environment.

Mutation- a change in the DNA

Page 35: Warm Up

3. in a change in the genetic information that neither harms nor helps the species.

Mutation- a change in the DNA

Page 36: Warm Up

Adaptation• Adaptations are structures,

functions, or behaviors that enable a species to survive.

Page 37: Warm Up

Adaptation• Depending on the rate

of adaptation, the rate of reproduction, and the environmental factors present, structural adaptations may take millions of years to develop.

Page 38: Warm Up

Natural Selection• the survival and reproduction of

the individuals in a population that exhibit the traits that best enable them to survive in their environment.

• The Survival of the Fittest

Page 39: Warm Up

Natural Selection• Populations produce more offspring

than the environment can support.

Page 40: Warm Up

Natural Selection• The unequal

ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to the gradual change in a population, generation after generation over many generations.

Page 41: Warm Up

Natural Selection• Organisms with

certain genetic variations will be favored to survive and pass their variations on to the next generation.

Page 43: Warm Up

When humans choose organisms with specific characteristics as breeding

stock, they are performing the role of the environment

• This is called “artificial selection”

Example of artificial selection in plants: five vegetables derived from wild mustard

Knowledge Check

What is evolution?

Identify the four processes of evolution. Explain how each process can lead to evolutionary change.

Page 47: Warm Up

Extinction• no longer in existence; "the

extinction of a species"

Page 48: Warm Up

• If a species does not include traits that enable it to survive in its environment or to survive changes in the environment, then the species may become extinct.

Page 49: Warm Up

Individuals die, a species becomes extinct.

Page 50: Warm Up

• Individuals of a population exhibit a range of variations in a trait as a result of the variations in their genetic codes.

Page 51: Warm Up
Page 52: Warm Up

• The evidence for evolution is drawn from a variety of sources of data, including:– the fossil record, – radiometric dating,– genetic information, – the distribution of organisms, – anatomical and developmental

similarities across species.

Page 53: Warm Up

Fossil Record• Although there is not a complete

record of ancient life for the past 3.5 billion years, a great deal of modern knowledge about the history of life comes from the fossil record.

Page 54: Warm Up

• The study of fossils provides strong evidence for evolution.

Page 57: Warm Up

Distribution of species• Most

marsupials live in Australia

• This supports the theory of continental drift.

Page 58: Warm Up

Distribution of species

Page 59: Warm Up

Geographic isolation can lead to speciation

Page 60: Warm Up

Species• Organisms that

can breed and produce FERTILE offspring.

Page 61: Warm Up

Adaptive Radiation• where species all

deriving from a common ancestor have over time successfully adapted to their environment via natural selection

Page 62: Warm Up

Homologous Structures •  Body parts in different organisms

that have similar bones and similar arrangements of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves and undergo similar embryological development, but do not necessarily serve the same function; e.g., the flipper of a whale and the forelimb of a horse.

Page 63: Warm Up

Homologous StructuresHuman Cat Whale Bat

Page 64: Warm Up
Page 65: Warm Up

Vestigial Structures• Features that apparently serve no

function in an organism and are allegedly holdovers from an evolutionary past. Such features, though no longer useful, are presumed to have been useful in ancestral species.

Page 66: Warm Up

EX.: Wings in flightless birds

Page 67: Warm Up

EX.: appendix in humans, whale pelvis, tiny snake pelvic and limb bones, and the eyes in cave-dwelling salamanders and fish that are completely blind.

Page 68: Warm Up

Developmental Similarities• Many species have very similar

embryonic development. • The embryo of a chicken, a pig,

and a fish are almost identical at certain points in their development.

Page 69: Warm Up
Page 70: Warm Up

• Stephen Jay Gould’s idea of punctuated equilibrium proposes that organisms may undergo rapid (in geologic time) bursts of speciation followed by long periods of time unchanged.

• This view is in contrast to the traditional evolutionary view of gradual and continuous change
