Mechanism of Natural Selection: Transcript
How does natural selection change a population P 247248 What are the five important principles of natural selection P 250 What are two sources of variation What is a niche P 258 259. Evolution. Believed to be 4.5 billion years old. Thought to have had a very anaerobic atmosphere. Earliest organisms were able to survive primitive environments. Prokaryotes that resemble today’s bacteria. Change over time…. Geology. Began to study rock layers called strata. George Cuvier. Studied fossils. Found extinct species and noticed the deeper the fossil the more unique. Catastrophism. Charles Lyell. E.g., the evolution of pepper spiciness. …. What does natural selection “act on”?. the . gene. the . individual. the . population. or . group. the . species. They are in you and me; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence. They have come a long way, those replicators. Now they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.. Concept 51.5 . Nia. Sanders . Foraging Behavior . Optimal foraging theory- views foraging behavior as a compromise between the benefits of nutrition and the costs of obtaining food . Natural selection should favor foraging behavior that minimizes cost and maximizes benefits . and Evolution. DNA and Heredity . As seen in the section on Taxonomy, modern classification of organisms is being shaped by our understanding of genetics; of DNA.. DNA is a polymer (many molecules attached to one another) of nucleic acids. A nucleic acid is monomer (one molecule) that contains three parts:. OBJECTIVES. Today, you will be able to…. Explain the process of evolution by natural selection. Explain adaptation. What exactly is “evolution” in THIS class?. Evolution. - a change in the . GENETIC. What is natural selection?. It’s the . process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. . The . theory. of its action was first fully . explained . published 1844, anonymously by Robert Chambers. Elaborated the idea that all matter, inorganic and organic, evolved out of inorganic dust by the accumulation of accidental mutations caused somehow by changes in nutrition or environment.. Context. : . Introductory biology for science majors . 2 full class periods and a follow-up exam question. Learning Goal. : We want students to understand that natural selection is a phenomenon that applies to their lives. 3 Mechanisms for selection and an introduction to . Hardy-Weinberg. Lyell’s Influence. In attempt to . explain the past in terms of present day processes. , Darwin went to local farmers and animal breeders and observed…. Golden Girls Plus Alex Media Room B Group. Presentation Date: 140523. Presenters: Alex Bentley. . 288531. Nancy . Bocanegra. 320379. Cathy Odom 128180. . According to evolutionists. Characteristics of Organisms in the Galapagos Islands compared to nearby South America. Darwin hypothesized that animals came to the . Galapagos. from the . mainland. and they became . A. Species overproduce offspring that may survive an environment.. B. There is little variation among members of a population.. C. Competition for resources, mates, and space among species leads to a struggle to survive..
