Compensation for Change
Cells and organisms use receptors to detect changes in environment
Triggers a compensating reaction that allows the organism to survive
![Page 26: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

1.2 Biological Evolution
Darwin and Wallace explained how populations of organisms change through time
Mutations in DNA allow evolutionary change
Adaptations enable organisms to survive and reproduce in their environments
![Page 31: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Populations Change With Time (1)
Changes occur in structure, function, types of organisms
Theory of evolution by natural selection• Certain characteristics allow some organisms to
survive better and reproduce more than others in their population
![Page 32: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Populations Change With Time (2)
Instructions for characteristics are coded in DNA• Successful characteristics become more common
in later generations
Average characteristics of offspring generation differ from those of parent generation
![Page 33: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Heredity (1)
Genes• Segments of DNA
• Code instructions for many characteristics
• Passed through reproduction from parents to offspring
![Page 37: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Heredity (2)
Mutations• Changes in structure, number, or arrangement of
DNA molecules
• Create variability among individuals
Variability• Natural selection and other processes cause
biological evolution
![Page 38: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Adaptations
Accumulation of favorable characteristics over many generations may produce adaptations
Enable individuals to survive longer or reproduce more
![Page 39: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

1.4 Biological Research
Biologists conduct basic and applied research using the scientific method
Research includes collecting observational and experimental data
Hypotheses may be tested with controlled experiments
Or, a null hypotheses may be used to evaluate observational data
![Page 58: Chapter1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070302/548eb42bb47959b64b8b4572/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
