7. Q3 WK5 D1
EVOLUTION
Evolution:
The genetic change in a species over a long, long time
The following scientists came up with possible hypotheses:
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck
Charles Darwin
Alfred Russell Wallace

8. Jean Baptiste de Lamarck 1744-1829
1st to hypothesize about species modification (evolution)
His hypothesis was that evolution occurred by inheritance of “acquired traits”
Individuals pass on to their offspring characteristics that they acquired (gained) during their lifetime.
Ex. Giraffes & water birds

11. CHARLES DARWIN
Darwin agreed with Lamarck about species modification however disagreed with the method.
Darwin believed that individuals in a species came with varied characteristics and the environment “selected” the characteristic that was most suited (beneficial) and those individuals survived & passed on their genes.
Variation = a range in type of a characteristic from random mutations in DNA (not created by experience)
Selection = when an individual is able to survive and reproduce based on their specific type of characteristic

12. Darwin’s hypothesis became known as: Evolution by Natural Selection

16. HOW DID DARWIN COME UP WITH HIS HYPOTHESIS???

17. Darwin’s Voyage (1831) on the HMS Beagle
Five year voyage around the world
Galapagos Islands

18. Darwin’s Evidence
He found fossils of extinct species resembling living species in the same area
Galapagos finches differed slightly in appearance but resembled those on the South American mainland
Darwin observed 14 different finch species
They differed mainly in beaks and feeding habitats

19. Four Galapagos finches and what they eat
Could a new species arise form an ancestral form by the gradual accumulation of adaptation to a different environment?

20. Darwin’s Observations
Scelidotherium
Megatherium
Small Ground Finch
Galapagos Land Iguana
Toxodon

21. Evolution By Way of Natural Selection
The species inhabiting Earth today descended from an ancestral species = evolution
Natural selection is the mechanism for this evolution
Individuals with certain inherited characteristics are better able to produce more surviving offspring than individuals lacking these characteristics due to their environment
The result is an evolutionary adaptation

22. Deer & Cactus Picture
Attach into sci. ntbk

23. Natural Selection of cacti
1. What is the main difference between the cactus on the left and on the right?
2. Why would a deer be more likely to eat the cactus on the left than on the right?
3. What effect does the deer's behavior have on the survival and reproduction of these two cacti?
4. Do you think that evolution by natural selection is occurring in this cactus population? (Assume there is actually a large population of cacti, some look like each type of cacti shown above) Why or why not?

24. 10 Examples of Natural Selection
Article

25. Lamarck vs. Darwin COMIC Story
You are going to compare the different hypothesis of evolution from Lamarck (acquired traits) and Darwin (natural selection). You can do so be writing a story or drawing a comic.
COMIC
Story
Pick one animal and make a comic about how it evolved from one type of characteristic to another. One comic with a minimum of 4 frames for each hypothesis.
You may NOT use an organism discussed in class!
Pick one animal and tell a story about how it evolved from one type of characteristic to another. One page for each hypothesis.
