Chapter 19: Change in Species
What evidence exists to support evolution?
![Page 2: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
19.1 Fossil Evidence
Fossils – physical remains of ancient organisms
Fossils = largest piece of evidence for evolution
![Page 3: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
19.1 Fossil Evidence
Paleontology – the study of fossils
How do fossils offer information about change?
![Page 4: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
19.1 Fossil Evidence
How do fossils offer information about change?
They are a record of organisms that are not around today.
Ancestral relationships can be based on where they are found in relation to another fossil.

19.1 Fossil Evidence
How do fossils offer information about change?
They can show us the rate of evolutionary change.
They are a clue to the physical structure of living things (clues to behavior).

19.2 Ecology & Homologies
Coevolution – the continuous adaptation of different species to each other
Example: predator-prey relationships
Galapagos tortoises & Cacti – the cacti have developed tall woody stems; tortoises have developed flared saddleback shells so their necks can stretch farther
![Page 7: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
19.2 Ecology & Homologies
Example: Flowers & pollinators
Bees have developed characteristics that make pollen stick to them (hairy abdomens) & flowers have developed characteristics to make them attractive to bees & other pollinators (colorful petals, smells)
![Page 9: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
19.2 Ecology & Homologies
Artificial Selection
Works in same way as “natural selection” except that someone controls the characteristics that are being chosen
Example: dog breeding
![Page 11: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
19.2 Ecology & Homologies
Homologies = similarities between species that suggest common ancestry (remember from last chapter)
Homologies help biologists understand the history of evolutionary changes
![Page 12: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example: Forelimbs of vertebrates
Shows evidence that these organisms have an ancestor in common.
![Page 13: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example: Mouse/Fruit fly eyes
Put the gene coding for eyes in mice into an eyeless fruit fly chromosome & the fly grew eyes
![Page 14: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
19.3 Genetic & Molecular Evidence
Darwin’s problem: explaining how variations are inherited
Study of genetics has provided more support for the theory of evolution
![Page 15: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
19.3 Genetic & Molecular Evidence
Sources of genetic variation:Mutation
Recombination of alleles – happens in sexually reproducing organisms; includes crossing over & fertilization to produce new combinations of genes
![Page 16: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
19.3 Genetic & Molecular Evidence
Genetic variation is the RAW MATERIAL OF EVOLUTION!!
We use molecular data (DNA information) to see the degree of relatedness between species – more DNA in common, more closely related.
![Page 17: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other Evidence for Evolution
Embryos
Early in embryonic development, it is very difficult to tell different organisms apart. The fact that we start off so similarly is evidence we all came from a common ancestor.
![Page 18: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Other Evidence: Embryos
![Page 19: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other Evidence for EvolutionSkulls
Used often in human evolution – changes in skull shape/size show changes in humans over time
![Page 20: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Other Evidence for Evolution
Vestigial StructuresStructures that are no longer useful in an organism (ex: appendix, goosebumps, body hair, etc. in humans)
Shows changes in organisms over time – our distant relatives needed them for something but over time they no longer are needed
![Page 21: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
Speciation – the appearance of a new species
Examples that have been observed: primarily in bacteria (because they reproduce – and so, evolve – so quickly); new species of grain – crossed wheat and rye
![Page 22: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
POPULATIONS EVOLVE, NOT INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS WITHIN A POPULATION!!
Speciation occurs when 2 populations become so different in their genetic makeup, they can no longer interbreed.
![Page 23: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
Usually occurs as a result of isolation – a small population that gets isolated from the rest of the population develops into its own species.
![Page 24: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
3 Types of Isolation:
1. Geographic Isolation: most common; organisms cannot come into contact with one another so they can’t interbreed (get separated by body of water, mountain range, canyon, etc.)
![Page 25: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
3 types of isolation:
2. Ecological isolation: When two different populations adapt to different habitats
![Page 26: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
19.4 Process of Speciation
3 types of isolation:
3. Reproductive isolation (also behavioral): the mating patterns of a small group of organisms becomes so different from the main group that they become reproductively isolated
![Page 27: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
19.5 Patterns in Evolution
Adaptive radiation – the development of numerous species from a common ancestor in a diverse environment
When a population enters a habitat with few competing species, it will often divide into many smaller populations by adapting to different environments or using different resources
![Page 28: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
19.5 Patterns in Evolution
Stasis – the rate of large-scale change remains very slow for a long period of timeCauses of stasis: species is well adapted & the environment remains stableExample: the Australian lungfish – changed little in millions of years; the horseshoe crab
![Page 29: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
19.5 Patterns in Evolution
Two ideas on Progress of Evolution:
1. Gradualism – Speciation & evolutionary change occurred through the accumulation of many gradual & constant changes
![Page 30: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
19.5 Patterns in Evolution
Two ideas on Progress of Evolution:
2. Punctuated Equilibrium – Short period of rapid change just after a population becomes isolated and forms a new species, after which the process slows and approaches stasis
![Page 31: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Population Genetics (from 16)
Microevolution – changes within species occurring over dozens – hundreds of generations
Changes in the frequencies of alleles in a population
Macroevolution – the larger changes of a species over time usually leading to the formation of new species (what we’ve been dealing with so far)
![Page 33: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Population Genetics
Hardy-Weinberg model of Gene Pools
A mathematical model of gene pools that enables us to use the frequency of alleles in a population to calculate all the genotype frequencies in that population.
![Page 34: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Population Genetics
Hardy-Weinbergp2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p + q = 1p = dominant allele (A)q = recessive allele (a)p2 = homozygous dominant individuals (AA)q2 = homozygous recessive individuals (aa)2pq = heterozygous individuals (Aa)
![Page 35: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Population Genetics
Hardy-Weinberg: 5 Conditions
1. Mutation rate is negligible.
2. Migration is negligible.
3. Population is large, diploid, & sexually reproducing.
4. Mating is random.
5. Natural selection does NOT occur.
![Page 36: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Population Genetics
Hardy-Weinberg: 2 important results1. It enables you to use the allele
frequencies to calculate all of the genotype frequencies.
Example: If 50% of the alleles in a population are dominant (A) and 50% of the alleles in a population are recessive (a), what percentage of the population are heterozygous?
![Page 37: Chapter 19: Change in Species](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568135d5550346895d9d4157/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Population Genetics
Hardy-Weinberg: 2 important results
2. The allele frequencies are stable over time (under the assumptions of the model). This supports the idea that there will be variation in a species.
