1. Warm-up Jan. 19 th & 20 th Write this on the TOP HALF of your full sheet of white paper that you picked up as you walked in. Define in your own words: EVOLUTION& Draw a picture

2. Natural Selection and the Evidence for Evolution Chapter 15 (p 393-417)

3. I. Charles Darwin and Natural Selection A. Who is Charles Darwin? –T–T–T–The “father of evolution” –E–E–E–English scientist (1809-1882) –C–C–C–Compiled major aspects of the process of evolution as possible explanations of how species have evolved. –F–F–F–First to publish his ideas that were shaped by fossil evidence.

4. B. Why is fossil evidence important? Shows evidence that an organism lived long ago. Shows evidence that an organism lived long ago. Geologists provided evidence indicating that earth was much older than people had originally thought (4.6 billion years old) Geologists provided evidence indicating that earth was much older than people had originally thought (4.6 billion years old) Biologists suspected that species change over time, or evolve. Biologists suspected that species change over time, or evolve.

5. C. What is natural selection? Development of the theory of Evolution. Early theory of evolution by Lamark contained 3 main ideas: Early theory of evolution by Lamark contained 3 main ideas: –1. Organisms constantly strive to improve. –2. Structures not used disappear (use and disuse). –3. Acquired traits can be passed on.

6. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution was influenced by several major factors. Geology Artificial Selection Population Control

7. 1. Geology – Charles Lyell reasoned that Charles Lyell reasoned that the earth must be much older than previously thought.

8. 2. Artificial Selection – observation that selective breeding of crops and animals by farmers could produce more desirable offspring. Darwin did his own pigeon- breeding experiments that demonstrated artificial selection.

9. 3. Population Control – Thomas Malthus stated that the human population was increasing so fast that the supply of resources could not keep up with the demand. War, starvation, and disease occurred to limit the population.

10. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (known as Natural Selection) contains 4 main ideas. There is variation within a population. There is variation within a population. Some variations allow an organism a better chance of survival. Some variations allow an organism a better chance of survival. More organisms are born than are expected to survive. More organisms are born than are expected to survive. Individuals that survive and reproduce pass their traits to the next generation. Individuals that survive and reproduce pass their traits to the next generation.

11. Evolution of New Species Adaptations & Competition

12. D. Vocabulary Species – interbreeding populations of organisms that can produce offspring capable of reproduction. Species – interbreeding populations of organisms that can produce offspring capable of reproduction. Variation – differences between individuals within a population. Variation – differences between individuals within a population. Evolution – process of change in a population over time. Evolution – process of change in a population over time. Theory – a hypothesis that is supported by evidence. Theory – a hypothesis that is supported by evidence.

13. End of Day 1- Jan. 23/24

14. WARM-UP Write down assignment, complete warm-up in your notebook Compare and Contrast the following: Compare and Contrast the following: –Natural Selection –Artificial Selection Use your notes from last class to help you.

15. II. Adaptations: Evidence for Evolution

16. Adaptation A. Adaptation – evolution of a structure, behavior, or internal process that enables an organism to respond to environmental factors and to live to produce offspring. A. Adaptation – evolution of a structure, behavior, or internal process that enables an organism to respond to environmental factors and to live to produce offspring. –Examples: rose’s thorns, giraffe neck, tendrels on vines, etc.

17. –Mimicry – enables one species to resemble another. –- Other types of structural adaptations:

18. Physiological adaptations B. Physiological adaptations – change in metabolic process (internal change) **direct evidence of evolution –M–M–M–Many disease causing bacteria are today no longer affected by penicillin because bacteria have evolved to prevent being killed by penicillin –M–M–M–Many insects and weeds that are pests are now resistant to pesticides that are used to kill them.

19. C. Anatomical adaptations structure of an organism Homologous Structure Homologous Structure Analogous Structure Analogous Structure Vestigial Structures Vestigial Structures

20. Homologous Structure – traits that are similar in different species because species share a common ancestor. Homologous Structure – traits that are similar in different species because species share a common ancestor. –**Similar structure, different function. –Ex. an arm, fin and wing

21. Same structure, different function

22. Analogous Structure – do not have a common evolutionary origin. Analogous Structure – do not have a common evolutionary origin. ** Different structure, similar function. Ex. insect wing and a bird wing. Used for flight but totally different structure Ex. insect wing and a bird wing. Used for flight but totally different structure

23. Same function, different structure

24. Vestigial Structures – structures that are inherited but often not used. Vestigial Structures – structures that are inherited but often not used. – **suggests that they were structures of their ancestors. –Ex. pythons have a hipbone, humans have an appendix, eyes of blind-mole rats and cave fish.

25. Vestigial Structure

26. Review

27. End of Day 2- Jan. 25th

28. Embryology (pg 402) D. Embryology – the study of embryos D. Embryology – the study of embryos –Embryo – an early stage of growth and development of both plants and animals. –It is the shared features that suggest evolution from a distant common ancestor.

29. Fish Reptile Bird Mammal Embryology

30. Biochemistry (pg. 403) E. Biochemistry – the study of a living organism’s chemistry ( DNA, ATP, enzymes) E. Biochemistry – the study of a living organism’s chemistry ( DNA, ATP, enzymes) –Organisms that are biochemically similar have fewer differences in their amino acid sequences. Groups that share more similarities are interpreted as being more closely related.
