You can look at evolution through 2 lens

Evolution: Macro Lens

• Macroevolution generally refers to evolution above the species level.

• Species=a reproductively isolated population able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring

• Mutation: Some “green genes” randomly mutated to “brown genes” (although since any particular mutation is rare, this process alone cannot account for a big change in allele frequency over one generation).

• Migration (or gene flow): Some beetles with brown genes immigrated from another population, or some beetles carrying green genes emigrated

• Genetic drift: When the beetles reproduced, just by random luck more brown genes than green genes ended up in the offspring. In the diagram at right, brown genes occur slightly more frequently in the offspring (29%) than in the parent generation (25%).

Genetic Drift affects small or large populations more? Why?

Small Pop Large Pop

• Natural selection: Beetles with brown genes escaped predation and survived to reproduce more frequently than beetles with green genes, so that more brown genes got into the next generation.

Q1In Amish populations, the incidence of a certain

type of dwarfism is much higher than those of other populations. What principle explains this?

A founder effectB genetic driftC natural selectionD sexual selection

Discuss Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

Darwin’s Theory• Variation in individuals• Competition• Death to those without an advantage• Differentiated reproduction• Pass traits to offspring• Fitness=more offspring=more fit• Evidence of evolution—fossils, embryos,

homologous structures, DNA

Q2: This picture illustrates what type of selection?

                                                   A sexualB disruptiveC directionalD stabilizing

Some phenotypes are selected FOR and some AGAINST

Q3: The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c is exactly the same in humans and chimpanzees. There is a

difference of 13 amino acids between the cytochrome c of humans and dogs, and a difference of 20 amino acids

between the cytochrome c of humans and rattlesnakes. Which of the following statements is best supported by

these data?(A) Rattlesnakes apparently gave rise evolutionarily to the dog, chimpanzee, and human. (B) Cytochrome c apparently has an entirely different function in rattlesnakes than in mammals, which explains the difference in the number of amino acids.(C) Cytochrome c is not found universally in animals.(D) Cytochrome c from a rattlesnake could function in a dog, but not in a chimpanzee.(E) The human is apparently more closely related to the chimpanzee than to the dog or rattlesnake.

Allopatric vs Sympatric Species

Evolution: Micro

• Microevolution is evolution on a small scale—within a single population. That means narrowing our focus to one branch of the tree of life.

• You could continue zooming in until you saw the relationships between beetle populations.

• We’ve defined microevolution as a change in gene frequency in a population and a population as a group of organisms that share a common gene pool

• Imagine that you go to the mountaintop this year, sample these beetles, and determine that 80% of the genes in the population are for green coloration and 20% of them are for brown coloration.

• You go back the next year, repeat the procedure, and find a new ratio: 60% green genes to 40% brown genes.
