Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color white (b). And, 40% of all butterflies are white. Given this simple information, which is something that is very likely to be on an exam, calculate the following: The percentage of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous. The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals. Hardy Weinberg ProblemPreserves multiple alleles in a populationThe hybrid form has greater reproductive success. We are talking about the genotypes (Bb) not phenotypes!Pg. 33 Heterozygote Advantage:

Turn and talkTake 1 minute to discuss with a neighbor about microevolution and what can lead to changes in gene pools. RecapMacroevolution

14Looks Can Be Deceiving!15These meadowlarks look very similar yet they are not the same species.

By contrast, these brittle stars look very different from one another, but they are the same species.

One of the outcomes of evolution is the formation of new species. What is a species? Allow the students come up with a definition and debate its merit. Several definitions of macroevolution also exist depending on the textbook you use. Evolving complex structures such as an eye. SpeciationEvolution of whole communities. 15Definition of Species16Key Point #1: Species: A group of interbreeding organisms that produce viable, fertile offspring in nature. Members of a species will interbreed with one another but not other organisms outside of the species. (At least most of the time!)

Able to reproduceNote the italics on viable! Hybrid animals exist which also makes the information in the second bullet need some qualifiers! Now is a good a time as any to see if students know about hybrids at all and/or can list any. This site has photos of the Top Twenty most popular animal hybrids: http://www.buzzfeed.com/toyota/the-20-coolest-hybrid-animals-3d8x A zebroid (zebra and equine) and donkra (donkey and zebra) are pictured. Hybrids will be revisited later as well.1617Tigers and lions will interbreed in captivity, but they do not interbreed in nature. Lions form groups or prides and live in the grasslands. Tigers are more solitary and live in the forests. Tiglon are products of male tigers and female lions. Ligers are the opposite cross.

These animals will interbreed with one another but on a limited basis. So are they the same species? No. How do we know? The offspring are not viable. 17Macroevolution vs. Microevolution18Key Point #2: Macroevolutionis evolution on a scale of multiple gene pools. Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population.18

Key Point #3: When a species is ___________ physically or reproductively from one another, the group of genes diverge from one anotherThe two group will begin to evolve differently due to different environments(survival of the fittest is environment dependent) The two groups will evolve so differently that if brought back together, they would not interbreed again. A new species has been created=SPECIATION21What is speciation?ISOLATEDAllopatric and sympatric speciation are two modes of speciation due to a type of ISOLATION22Allopatric vs. Sympatric SpeciationKey Point #4: Allopatric speciation:caused by geographic isolationmountain ranges, canyons, rivers, lakes, glaciers, altitude or longitude. Key Point #5: Sympatric speciation:speciation occurs even though the two groups are still living in the same area.

Allopatric Speciation

24Graphic-CampbellAn extrinsic is a property is one that is not dependent on the organism in question. It is an external factor. Allopatric Speciation

They become separate species, as evidenced by the fact they can no longer interbreed.If they can still interbreed, they are the same species.Islands produce some of the most profound examples of speciation due to geographic isolation.

25The population that left the original group will have a different allelic make-up than the original species, thus experiencing the founder effect.The two groups will continue to experience different mutations.The two groups will now experience genetic drift and different selection pressures due to living in separate and perhaps different environments.Why does speciation occur after geographic isolation?

26Have students write down a possible answer before talking about the answer. Sympatric SpeciationSympatric speciation has no geographic constraint to interbreeding. 27Sympatric speciationis the process through which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region. In evolutionary biology and biogeography, sympatric and sympatry are terms referring to organisms whose ranges overlap or are even identical, so that they occur together at least in some places.Sympatric Speciation

Sympatric Speciation occurs without geographic isolation, thus it occurs at a local level. There is something within the environment that keeps a single species separated into two or more distinct groups.The end result is that the two groups evolve into separate species.

28Sympatric speciationis the process through which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region. In evolutionary biology and biogeography, sympatric and sympatry are terms referring to organisms whose ranges overlap or are even identical, so that they occur together at least in some places.Sympatric SpeciationSuppose that a certain species feeds on a particular host and only that host. Next, suppose a mutation occurs that allows it to feed upon a different host.

Eventually, the species is divided into two groups that are separated from one another. Given enough time, speciation can occur. The species of treehoppers pictured above are host specific. The first lives on bittersweet while the second lives on butternut. 29Tree hopper ecology: Treehoppers pierce plant stems with their beaks, and feed upon sap. The immatures can frequently be found on herbaceous shrubs and grasses, whereas the adults more often frequent hardwood tree species. Excess sap becomes concentrated as honeydew, which often attracts ants. Some species have a well-developed ant mutualism, and these species are normally gregarious, as well, which attracts more ants. The ants provide protection from predators. Treehoppers mimic thorns to prevent predators from spotting them.

Another example is the North American apple maggot fly (Rhagoletis pomenella) originally it lived in native hawthorn trees but about 200 years ago some of these flies colonized apple trees. Because apples mature more quickly than hawthorn fruit, natural selection favored those apple feeding flies. These two populations are classifies as subspecies but it is predicted in the future they will become separate species. PolyploidyHabitat isolationBehavioral isolationTemporal isolationReproductive isolation30What is that something that separates the groups?Sympatric Speciation: PolyploidyKey Point #6: Polyploidy: organisms with more than two sets of chromosomes.Occurs mainly in plants**Cannot interbreed with non polyploidy**Polyploidy may occur due to abnormal cell division

31Review the concept of nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis.

True polyploidy rarely occurs in humans, although it occurs in some tissues (especially in the liver). Aneuploidy is more common.

Polyploidy occurs in humans in the form of triploidy, with 69 chromosomes (sometimes called 69,XXX), and tetraploidy with 92 chromosomes (sometimes called 92,XXXX). Triploidy, usually due to polyspermy, occurs in about 23% of all human pregnancies and ~15% of miscarriages.[citation needed] The vast majority of triploid conceptions end as miscarriage and those that do survive to term typically die shortly after birth. In some cases survival past birth may occur longer if there is mixoploidy with both a diploid and a triploid cell population present.Key Point #7: Two organisms live in the same area, but rarely encounter one another.

Example: Two species on one genus of snake found in the same area. One lives in the water and the other lives on land. 32Sympatric Speciation: Habitat IsolationKey Point #8: Mating behavior

For example: small saltwater fish males change in color and develop a red underbelly. The male builds a nest and court the female with a dance. If at any time this ritual fails, then no mating occurs and no offspring is produced. 33Sympatric Speciation: Behavioral IsolationKey Point #9: Isolated by time

For example: a flowering plants colonizes a region with areas that are warm and sunny and areas that are cool and shady. Flowers in the warm region become sexually mature sooner than the cooler areas. This separates the flowers. 34Sympatric Speciation: Temporal IsolationKey Point #10: Closely related species unable to mate

For example: difference in flower shape may prevent pollination and the difference in the structure of genitalia may prevent insemination.35Sympatric Speciation: Reproductive IsolationPrezygotic barriers:Barrier to mating.For example: small male dog and large female dogPostzygotic barriers:Once mating has occurred, fertile offspring cannot be produced.For example: horse and donkey produce a mule
