Populations adapt to their environments through multiplication, variation, and selection – Darwins natural selection.
All forms of (terrestrial) life descendfrom one common ancestor – phylogenyand the tree of life.
![Page 7: Darwin and Evolutionary Dynamicspks/Presentation/columbus-08.pdf · Darwin and Evolutionary Dynamics 150 Years After the ‚Origin of Species‘ Peter Schuster Institut für Theoretische](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d4850a242d42bf416dfb7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Three necessary conditions for Darwinian evolution are:
1. Multiplication,
2. Variation, and
3. Selection.
Biologists distinguish the genotype – the genetic information – and the phenotype – the organisms and all its properties. The genotype is unfolded in development and yields the phenotype.
Variation operates on the genotype – through mutation and recombination – whereas the phenotype is the target of selection.
One important property of the Darwinian mechanism is that variationsin the form of mutation or recombination events occur uncorrelated totheir effects on the selection of the phenotype.

Results from evolution experiments:
• Replication of RNA molecules in vitro gives rise to exponential growth under suitable conditions.
•Evolutionary optimization does not require cells and occurs aswell in cell-free molecular systems.
•In vitro evolution allows for production of molecules for predefined purposes and gave rise to a branch of biotechnology.

Results from kinetic theory of molecular evolution:
•Replicating ensembles of molecules form stationary populations called quasispecies, which represent the genetic reservoir of asexually reproducing species.
• For stable inheritance of genetic information mutation ratesmust not exceed a precisely defined and computable error-threshold.
•The error-threshold can be exploited for the development of novel antiviral strategies.

A sketch of optimization on neutral networks
![Page 70: Darwin and Evolutionary Dynamicspks/Presentation/columbus-08.pdf · Darwin and Evolutionary Dynamics 150 Years After the ‚Origin of Species‘ Peter Schuster Institut für Theoretische](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042918/5f5d4850a242d42bf416dfb7/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Neutrality in molecular structures and its role in evolution:
• Neutrality is an essential feature in biopolymer structures at the resolution that is relevant for function.
• Neutrality manifests itself in the search for minimum free energystructures.
• Diversity in function despite neutrality in structures results fromdifferences in suboptimal conformations and folding kinetics.
• Neutrality is indispensible for optimization and adaptation.
