Bellwork: Fix your Line Graphs. Look at the example provided of what it should look like. On your bellwork write “Bean Lab Line Graph”.

HW: Prepare a line graph. Use a different color line for each species and provide a key.

-Graph Title: “Food collecting ability of four species of bean eaters.”-Y axis: # of beans collected-X axis: Trial # (represents the generations)-Lines: The graph will have 4 lines, one for each species in different colors. -Conclusion: Based on the results, describe the change in the populations over 3 generations. Explain the relationship between ability to gather food and the ability to survive.

Essential Question How do adaptations affect

survival?Standard

B.7C - Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals.

What is Evolution?

I. Evolution: change over time.

A. Scientists involved in the Evolution theory1. Hutton and Lyell: helped scientists realized 2 thingsa. Earth is millions of years old b. the processes that changed Earth in the past are the same as the present.

At that time, most scientists believed that the Earth was only a few thousand years old.

2. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck: one of the first scientists to recognize that living things have changed over time.

a. Lamarck proposed that by selective use or disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. b. These traits could be passed to the offspring. c. Over time, this process led to a change in a species.

d. Lamarck’s theory proved incorrect because he did not know that an organism’s behavior has no effect on its heritable characteristics.

3. Malthus: contributed to Darwin’s theory of evolution by establishing the idea that population size is limited by environmental resources.

4. Charles Darwin: contributed more to our understanding of evolution than anyone else.A. Darwin traveled, made observations and collected evidence that led him to propose his revolutionary process.B. Darwin’s Finches

b. Darwin published the results of his work in a book called On the Origin of Species.

Summary of Darwin’s Theory: Individual organisms differ and some of these variations are heritable

(passed on) Organisms produce more offspring than can survive and many that do

survive do not reproduce Because more organisms are produce than can survive, they must compete

for limited resources (food, shelter, etc) Each unique organism has different advantages (good) and disadvantages

(bad) Individuals best suited to their environment survive and reproduce

successfully These organisms that survive pass their heritable traits to their offspring

Summary of Darwin’s Theory cont’d: Other individuals that are not suited for their environment die or

leave few offspring This process called natural selection causes species to change

over time Species alive today are descended with modification from ancestral

species (their ancestors) This process by which diverse species evolved from a common

ancestor unites all organisms on Earth into a single tree of life

One of Darwin’s most important insights was that members of each species vary from one another in important ways.

Today, we know that heritable variation in organisms is caused by variations in their genes.

II. How Evolution Works

A. Artificial selection: selection by humans for breeding of useful traits

1. The struggle for existence is competition among members of a species for food, living space, and the other necessities of life.

2. High birth rates and a shortage of life’s basic needs eventually forces organisms into a competition for resources.

B. Fitness: the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce 1. Fitness is the result of adaptations.

2. Adaptation: any inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival.

a. Successful adaptations: - enable organisms to become better suited to their environment - increase an individual’s ability to survive and reproduce.

Humans have thousands of adaptations: large brain, opposable thumbs, excellent sensory organs, light, strong skeleton, etc.

C. Natural selection: the process by which individuals with characteristics that are not well suited to their environment either die or leave few offspring.

1. Also referred to as survival of the fittest.

2. It is not seen directly, but only observed as changes in a population over a long time.
