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. Evolution: Teachable Tidbit. 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. Evolution- changes in the characteristics of groups of organisms over time . Charles Darwin was the first to propose a feasible . mechanism. for evolution. It is called . natural selection. . . Evolution by Natural Selection is a theory. . G7- I can list examples of changes in genetic traits due to natural and manmade influences. What is Natural Selection?. Write it on your white board. Which of the following is an example of Natural Selection?. A) Directional selection. Chance events . Stabilizing selection . Disruptive selection. Answer Key – LO 1.2. Directional selection is most common wen a population’s environment changes or when members of a population migrate to a new habitat with different environmental conditions than their former one. Stabilizing selection acts against extreme phenotypes and favors intermediates variants. Disruptive selection occurs when environmental conditions favor individuals on both extremes of a phenotypic range over intermediate phenotypes. An example of directional selection is that black bears in Europe increase with size during the colder weather, only to decrease during the warmer weather. An example of stabilizing selection is the birth weights of most human babies lie in the range of 3-4 kg; babies who are much smaller or larger suffer higher rates of mortality. An example of disruptive selections is black- bellied seed cracker finches have two different beak sizes for cracking different types of seeds. . Wednesday 1/22/14.
