PPT-Hallmarks Evolution of a Species

is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization including species individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins. A mechanism for change in populations.. Any change in the . inherited . traits within a population across generations. Individuals better adapted to their environment tend to survive and . produce more offspring. “Both in space and time, we seem to be brought somewhat near to that great fact—that mystery of mysteries—the first appearance of new beings on this Earth.”. — Darwin. What is a species?. Biological species concept. Born in England in 1809. Enrolled in divinity school at Cambridge; graduated in 1831. In 1831, Darwin signed on the naturalist on the HMS Beagle & traveled around the world for the next 5 years. He gathered data during his travel; that data was used as the basis for his books and ideas on evolution. History of Evolution. The evolution of life is linked to the physical and chemical evolution of the earth.. Life on earth evolved in two phases over the past 4.7 -4.8 billion years. Chemical evolution (1 billion years) of the organic molecules and systems of chemical reactions needed to form the first proto-cells.. Early atmosphere, evidence, natural selection and disease agents influence natural selection. . Introduction . Evolution “ simple” definition: change over time. Evolution helps us to understand the history of life.. Early scientists proposed ideas about evolution. . Evolution is the biological change process by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors.. A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring.. Module 14 . The . Biodiversity of Earth. After reading this module you should be able to. understand . how we estimate the number of species living on Earth.. quantify . biodiversity.. describe . patterns of relatedness among species using a . Chapter 17: Processes of Evolution. Early Beliefs. 19. th. century: discovered species shared many traits, but lived in different parts of the world. Problematic – species only looked similar on the outside, but inside were very different . Evolution. – when a species of plants or animals adapts to their environment in order to survive over a long period of time. Key points!. Species. Plants or Animals. Adaptations. In order to survive.
