Darwin had a lot of help!• Darwin had a lot of help!
– Lamarck – proposed theory of evolution but had one fatal mistake in his theory (inheritance of acquired characteristics)
– Malthus (economist) – population increases, competition for resources results in struggle for survival
– Darwin (naturalist) – Went on a Voyage, studied many organisms (especially finches in Galapagos islands) and with the existing theories of Lamarck and Malthus put forward the theory of natural selection
– Wallace -Naturalist who arrived at the same conclusions Darwin did, encouraged Darwin to publish his work.

Natural Selection• Individuals that make up a population are not all identical
(variability) • this variation can be inherited (Heritable Variation in the
population) • Organisms have the potential to increase in numbers
greatly in excess of the ability of their environment to support them (limits on reproductive success)
• Variation leads to differential rates in survival and reproductive success among the variations. Therefore those individuals with inheritable traits that increase their chances of successful reproduction will leave more offspring. (natural selection)
• Differential survival and reproduction leads to a shift in the frequency of characters. If this process goes on long enough, parent and daughter species can no longer interbreed, and there results a new species.

Adaptive Traits• Allow individuals to live to reproduce
• Provides opportunity for future change

Mutations
• Permanent change in genetic variation
• Only source of new alleles
• Do not arise out of need
• Causes of mutation– Spontaneous occurrence– Radiation– Chemicals– Transposons

Results of Mutations
• Harmful– Nonadaptive– Eliminated by selection
• Beneficial – Adaptive– Selected and persist
• Neutral– Neither adaptive nor nonadaptive– May or may not persist in gene pool

Other Factors that Change Gene Frequency• Genetic Drift
• Gene Flow
• Nonrandom Mating
![Page 24: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Genetic Drift
• Change in frequency due to chance
• Sampling error– Random selection of alleles– Error refers to different possibilities– Results in population change with time
![Page 25: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Gene Pool and Gene Flow
• All the alleles in each population = gene pool
• Exchange of genes with neighboring populations– Immigration = movement in– Emigration = movement out
• High gene flow = stability
![Page 26: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Founder Effect• Small population can
cause extreme genetic drift• Small gene pools allow for
rapid change• Example: polydactyly in
Pennsylvania Amish
![Page 27: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Bottleneck• Significant portion of population dies• Remaining small population results• Genetic drift can cause rapid change• Example: Elephant seals

Endangered species
• Very few (from 10s to 1000s) may be around
• Could go very quicly to extinction• Gene pool is very limited • Low variation i.e. loss of genetic diversity• Very susceptible to diseases and other
problems• Human activities are a major cause (esp.
habitat destruction
![Page 30: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Extinction
• Death of all members of a species
• Major factors leading to extinction– Localized distribution– Overspecialization– Reduced genetic variability– Habitat destruction
![Page 31: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nonrandom Mating• Types of nonrandom mating
– Inbreeding– Mate selection
• Reduces genetic variability
![Page 32: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is a Species?• No universal definition
• Species concepts– Morphological species concept– Biological species concept
![Page 33: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
16.1 What Is a Species?
• 16.1.1 Biologists Need a Clear Definition of Species
• 16.1.2 Species Are Groups of Interbreeding Populations
• 16.1.3 Appearance Can Be Misleading– Figure 16.1 Members of a species may differ
in appearance (p. 303)

How do new species develop?
• Ways species may achieve genetic isolation– Allopatric speciation– Sympatric speciation

Allopatric Speciation
• Populations living in different locations
• Physical barrier blocks gene flow
• Populations evolve differently
• If brought back together, populations will not interbreed

Continental Drift
• Movement of continents over time
• Continue to move slowly
• Movement has separated populations
• Example family of flightless birds (ratites)
![Page 40: Evolution and Diversity of Life Concepts and Sections to study Note: We have covered the section on Darwin’s theory pretty well already. That part will](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d795503460f94a5d413/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Sympatric Speciation• Speciation within the same area
• Isolated by different ecological zones
• Most important in plant evolution

Biological Evolution
• May have started with self-replicating RNA– RNA can carry information just like DNA– RNA can also carry out enzymatic reactions
like proteins– Suggestion that there may have been a
primitive “RNA world”
• RNA enclosed in membrane• Enzymes could be organized• Still no scientific consensus of these points
