What do we know about evolution? - P1

What is evolution? Evolution: a cumulative change in the characteristics of organisms or populations from generation to generation.

How can we observe evolution? Common ancestry: ●Similar anatomical structures ●Similar embryological development ●Similar DNA sequences

Similar anatomical structures Over millions of years of evolution, human: brain volume has increased tooth size has decreased brow ridge is greatly reduced jaws is smaller face is smaller chin is pointier

Similar embryological development

Similar DNA sequences The more closely related organisms have more genetic similarity.

Common Ancestry: DNA Mutations and Evolution A mutation is a change in an organism’s genetic information, or DNA. Mutations occur at random, at any time, and in the DNA of any type of cell. When mutations occur in genes, they may result in new phenotypes that natural selection acts upon.

Heritability of Mutations Mutations that occur in somatic (body) cells only affect the individual in which they occur. Mutations that occur in gametes (egg and sperm) can be passed on to the next generation.

Types of Mutations Mutations can occur on a small scale, most often affecting one or two nucleotides of DNA, or they can involve large segments of a chromosome or an entire chromosome. Any mutation in a gene’s DNA can alter the function of the protein encoded by the gene.

Point Mutations Most mutations are point mutations, or changes in a single nucleotide of an organism’s DNA. They include substitutions, insertions, and deletions. Insertions and deletions also can involve two or more nucleotides.

A substitution is the replacement of a single nucleotide with another. It is classified by its effect on the protein produced: Silent mutations have no effect on the protein. Missense mutations result in a single amino acid change in the translated sequence. Nonsense mutations result in an amino acid codon being replaced by a “stop” codon. Nonsense mutations end translation prematurely and result in a truncated protein. Substitution Mutations

Substitution Examples LocationWild-Type (unmutated) Silent Mutation Missense Mutation Nonsense Mutation DNA GTCGTTGTGATC Messenger RNA (mRNA) CAGCAACACUAG Amino acid Glutamine HistidineStop

A Closer Look at Duplications Chromosomal duplications result in two copies of a gene or genes. Two genes are paralogous if they exist at different chromosomal locations in the same organism and if they arose from a common ancestral gene. Gene duplication can lead to new traits, and it plays a major role in the evolution and diversification of life.

Gene Duplication Outcomes When an entire gene is duplicated: one of the two gene copies can lose its function by accumulating mutations over generations; one of the two gene copies can gain a novel function through subsequent mutation (this only happens if the original gene duplication event does not severely affect the organism and persists over generations); or the two copies of the gene split the total function of the ancestral gene into two unique but related functions for more-efficient expression.

The “Death” of Genes Genes can lose their protein-producing abilities or stop being expressed. Such genes are called pseudogenes. As species have evolved, diverged, and gone extinct, so have their genes. Genes become pseudogenes when they accumulate mutations over a long time. This only happens if the mutations do not compromise the organism’s survival; otherwise, natural selection would eliminate the mutations.

Examples of Gene Death These two examples demonstrate the evolutionary significance of genes losing their functions. Olfactory receptor genes in humans and mice: Mice have about 1,500 olfactory receptor genes, while humans have about 1,000. Only 20 percent of mouse olfactory receptor genes are pseudogenes, compared to about 60 percent in humans. Myoglobin gene in some icefish species: Myoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein found in muscles, similar to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Myoglobin is absent from muscles, including the heart, of several, but not all, icefish species.

Gene Birth and Death in Icefish Icefish are an excellent example of both the birth and death of genes. Click to view the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes.
