PPT-Chapter 23 Evolution of Populations

Question Is the unit of evolution the individual or the population Answer while evolution effects individuals it can only be tracked through time by looking at populations So what do we study .

A common misconception is that organisms evolve during their lifetimes. Natural selection acts on individuals, but only populations evolve. Consider, for example, a population of medium ground finches on Daphne Major Island. Question? . Is the unit of evolution the . individual. or the . population?. Answer = while evolution effects individuals, it can only be tracked through time by looking at populations. So what do we study? . Vestigial Structures. DNA & The Genetic Code. Fossil Record. Strata & Superposition. Relative Age vs. Absolute Age. Fossil Record. Per the theory - You would expect older rock to contain mostly organisms that are less complex and less like current (living) organisms. 1. OVERVIEW. 2.
