AFTER 60 GENERATIONS THE AVERAGE STARVATION RESISTANCE OF FRUIT FLIES WAS 160 HOURS
1. They are genetically identical to the original population.
2. They are genetically different from the original population.

It is indeed remarkable that this theory [evolution] has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge.
The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory.
—Pope John Paul II, 1996

NATURAL CHANGESo The characteristics of individuals in a
population can change over time.
o We can observe such change in nature and can even cause such change to occur.

DARWIN’S JOURNEY TO AN IDEA
Before Darwin, most people believed that all species had been created separately and were unchanging.

CHARLES LYELL & JAMES HUTTONo Geologist
o 1830 book Principles of Geologyo Geological forces had shaped the earth and were
continuing to do so.
o Gradual but constant changeo Darwin had this book with him on the Beagle

EMERGING BELIEFSo People used to think that the earth was 6,000 years
old and that species were unchanging.
o In the 18th and 19th centuries, scientists began to change their beliefs.
o These changes helped shape Darwin’s thinking.

DIFFERENT INFLUENCES ON DARWIN’S IDEAS
Observing geographic similarities and differences among fossils and living plants and animals, Darwin developed a theory of evolution.

DARWIN’S JOURNEY TO AN IDEA
In 1858, Darwin published his thoughts on natural selection after decades of percolating and procrastinating
39
![Page 40: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

HISTORICAL PROGRESSo After putting off publishing his thoughts on
natural selection for more than 15 years, Darwin did so only after Alfred Russel Wallace independently came up with the same idea.
o They published a joint presentation on their ideas in 1858 and Darwin published a much more detailed treatment in The Origin of Species in 1859, sparking wide debate and discussion of natural selection. 41
![Page 42: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
THE OBSERVATIONS DARWIN MADE DURING HIS TRIP ON THE HMS BEAGLE?
1. The earth is shaped by gradual forces. (Lyell)2. The earth is older than 6,000 years. (Buffon)3. Populations could grow beyond the ability of
the environment to support them. (Malthus)Malthus thesis was that the population of England would soon reach a point that was impossible to feed with the island’s resources.

FOUR MECHANISMS CAN GIVE RISE TO EVOLUTION.
44
Allele frequencies in a population change.
![Page 45: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

46
ALLELE FREQUENCIESIncrease the white phenotype through breeding.
o As the generations go by
o - Higher proportion of white tigers
o Evolution = change in allele frequencies of the population
![Page 47: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
INDIVIDUALS DO NOT EVOLVE.o Populations evolve – get better with the resources
they have
o Allele frequencies – dark colored moths on dark tree trunks

4 MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE
1. Mutation
2. Genetic drift
3. Migration
4. Natural selection
Evolution is genetic change in a population.
![Page 49: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
FOUR MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE
49
1. Mutation—a direct change in the DNA of an individual—the ultimate source of all genetic variation.
![Page 50: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
MUTATIONo An alteration of the base-pair sequence of an
individual’s DNA
o When this alteration occurs in a gene, the change in the DNA sequence may change the allele.
![Page 51: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

53
MUTATION IS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF GENETIC VARIATION IN A POPULATION.
![Page 54: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
WHAT CAUSES MUTATIONS? o The process of cells dividing can go awry.
o Environmental phenomenao mutagens
o Mutations are randomo Beneficial?o Detrimental?
![Page 55: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

MOBILE PHONES RELEASE RADIATION.
Can they cause brain tumors?
![Page 57: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
MUTATIONo An alteration of the base-pair sequence in an
individual’s DNA.
o It is Evolution if it changes an allele the individual carries.
![Page 58: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
NEARLY ALL MUTATIONS REDUCE AN ORGANISM’S FITNESS.
![Page 59: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
FOUR MECHANISMS CAN GIVE RISE TO EVOLUTION.
59
2. Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies in a population.
![Page 60: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

61
GENETIC DRIFT IS NOT NATURAL SELECTION:
The change in allele frequencies does not influence reproductive success.
![Page 62: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
THE IMPACT OF GENETIC DRIFT IS MUCH GREATER IN SMALL POPULATIONS THAN IN LARGE POPULATIONS.
![Page 63: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
FIXATIONo Genetic drift can lead to fixation for one allele for
a gene in a population.
o If this happens, there is no more variability in the population for this gene.
o Genetic drift reduces the genetic variation in a population.

GENETIC DRIFTo A random change in allele frequencies within a
population,
o A significant agent of evolutionary change primarily in small populations.

FOUR MECHANISMS CAN GIVE RISE TO EVOLUTION.
70
3. Migration into or out of a population may change allele frequencies.
![Page 71: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)

72
MIGRATIONo Migration, or gene flow, leads to a change in allele
frequencies in a population as individuals move into or out of the population.

FOUR MECHANISMS CAN GIVE RISE TO EVOLUTION.
73
4. Natural Selection –random changes in a population produce an individual better suited to its environment
![Page 74: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
74
NATURAL SELECTION1. There must be variation for the particular
trait within a population.
2. That variation must be inheritable.
3. Individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.
![Page 75: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

77
CONDITION 2: HERITABILITYWe call the transmission of traits from parents to their children through genetic information inheritance or heritability.
![Page 78: Chapter 8: Evolution and Natural Selection](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681616a550346895dd0f628/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
CONDITION 3: DIFFERENTIAL REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS
1. There are more organisms born than can survive.
2. Organisms are continually struggling for existence.
3. Some organisms are more likely to win this struggle and survive and reproduce.

97
Evolution in general, and natural selection specifically, do not guide organisms toward “better-ness” or perfection.
If the environment changes, the alleles causing the traits favored by natural selection may change, too.
