![Page 2: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
16-1 Genes and Variation
• As Darwin developed his theory of evolution, he worked under a serious handicap
• He didn’t know how heredity worked
• This lack of knowledge left two big gaps in Darwin’s thinking
![Page 3: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1. He had no idea how heritable traits pass from one generation to the next
2. He had no idea how variation appeared, even though variation in heritable traits was central to Darwin’s theory
• During the 1930’s Evolutionary biologists connected Mendel’s work to Darwin’s
• By then biologists understood that genes control heritable traits
![Page 4: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How Common Is Genetic Variation?
• Many genes have at least 2 forms or alleles
• Animals such as horses, dogs, mice, and humans often have several alleles for traits such as body size or coat color
![Page 5: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Variation and Gene Pools• Genetic variation is studied in
populations
![Page 6: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Population• A group of individuals of the same
species that interbreed
• Because members of a population interbreed, they share a common group of genes called a gene pool
![Page 7: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Gene pool• All the genes including all the
different alleles, that are present in a population
![Page 8: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Relative Frequency• The number of times that the allele
occurs in a gene pool, compared with the number of times other alleles for the same gene occur
• In genetic terms, evolution is any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population
![Page 10: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sources of Genetic Variation
• The 2 main sources of genetic variation are mutations and the genetic shuffling that results from sexual reproduction
![Page 11: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mutations• Any change in a sequence of DNA• Mutations can occur because of• Mistakes in DNA replication• Radiation or chemicals in the
environment
• Some mutations don’t affect the phenotype but some do
![Page 12: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gene shuffling during sexual reproduction
• Mutations are not the only source of variation
• Most heritable differences are due to gene shuffling that occurs during the production of gametes
• The 23 pairs of chromosomes can produce 8.4 milliondifferent combinations of genes
• Crossing over further increases the number of different genotypes that can also appear in offspring
![Page 13: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Single – Gene and Polygenic Traits
• The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait
![Page 14: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Single – gene trait• Controlled by a single gene that
has two alleles
• Variation in these genes leads to only 2 distinct phenotypes
![Page 16: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Polygenic traits• Traits controlled by two or more genes• Each gene of a polygenic trait has two
or more alleles• As a result one polygenic trait can have
many possible genotypes and phenotypes
Ex.) height
![Page 17: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Polygenic traits
![Page 18: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
16-2 Evolution as Genetic Change
• A genetic view of evolution offers a new way to look at key evolutionary concepts
• If each time an organism reproduces, it passes copies of its genes to its offspring…
• We can therefore view evolutionary fitness as an organism’s success in passing genes to the next generation
• We can also view an evolutionary adaptation as any genetically controlled physiological, anatomical, or behavioral trait that increases an individuals ability to pass along its genes
![Page 19: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evolution as Genetic Change
• Remember that evolution is any change over time in the relative frequency of alleles in a population.
• This reminds us that it is populations, not individual organisms that can evolve overtime
![Page 20: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Natural Selection on Single – Gene Traits
• Natural selection on single gene traits can lead to changes in allele frequencies and thus to evolution
![Page 21: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Natural Selection on Polygenic Traits
• Natural selection can affect the distributions of phenotypes in any of three ways
![Page 23: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Directional Selection• When individuals at one end of
the curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end
![Page 24: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. Stabilizing Selection• When individuals near the center
of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve
![Page 26: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Disruptive Selection• When individuals at the upper and
lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle
• Can create 2 distinct phenotypes
![Page 28: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Genetic Drift• Natural Selection is not the only
source of evolutionary change
• In small populations, an allele can become more or less common by chance
![Page 30: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Genetic Drift• A random change in allele frequency
![Page 31: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Genetic Drift• These individuals may carry alleles in
different relative frequencies than did the larger population from which they came
• If so, the population that they found will be genetically different from the parent population
• This cause is not natural selection, but chance
![Page 32: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Founder effect• A situation in which allele
frequency changes as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population
![Page 33: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evolution vs. Genetic Equilibrium
• To clarify how evolutionary change operates, scientists often find it helpful to determine what happens when no change takes place
![Page 34: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hardy – Weinberg principle
• States that allele frequency in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause these frequencies to change
![Page 35: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Genetic equilibrium
• The situation in which allele frequencies remain constant
![Page 36: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
5 conditions are required to maintain genetic equilibrium
1. There must be random mating
2. The population must be very large
3. There can be no movement into or out of the population
4. No mutations
5. No natural selections
![Page 37: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
16-3 The Process of Speciation
• Factors such as natural selection and chance events can change the relative frequencies of alleles in a population
• But how do these changes lead to speciation?
![Page 38: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Speciation• The formation of new species
![Page 39: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Isolating Mechanisms• Since members of the same species
share a common gene pool, in order for a species to evolve into 2 new species, the gene pools must be separated into 2
• As new species evolve, populations become reproductively isolated from each other
![Page 40: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Reproductive isolation• When the members of 2
populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring
![Page 41: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Behavioral Isolation• When two populations are
capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies
![Page 42: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Eastern & Western Meadowlark
![Page 43: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Geographical Isolation• When two populations are
separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water
![Page 44: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Albert & Kaibab Squirrels
![Page 45: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Temporal Isolation• When 2 or more species reproduce
at different times
Rana aurora - breeds January - March
Rana boylii - breeds late March - May
![Page 46: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Testing Natural Selection in Nature
Q: Can evolution be observed in nature?
A: YES
![Page 47: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Grants
![Page 48: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Testing Natural Selection in Nature
• Darwin hypothesized that finches had descended from a common ancestor and overtime, natural selection shaped the beaks of different bird populations as they adapted to eat different foods
• The Grants, realized that Darwin’s hypothesis relied on two testable assumptions
![Page 49: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
1. There must be enough heritable variation in these traits to provide raw materials for natural selection
2. Differences in beak size and shape must produce differences in fitness that cause natural selection to occur
![Page 50: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Variation• The Grants identified and
measured every variable characteristic of the birds on the island
• Their data indicated that there is a great variation of heritable traits among the Galapagos finches
![Page 51: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Natural Selection• During the…
• Rainy season – enough food for everyone, no competition
• Dry season – some foods become scarce
• At that time, differences in beak sizes can mean the difference between life and death
• Birds become feeding specialists
![Page 52: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Natural Selection• The Grants discovered that individual
birds with different size beaks had different chances of survival during a drought
![Page 53: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Speciation in Darwin’s Finches
• Speciation in the Galapagos finches occurred by founding of a new population, geographical isolation, changes in the new population’s gene pool, reproductive isolation and ecological competition
![Page 54: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Founders Arrive• Many years ago, a
few finches from South American mainland
• Species A, flew or were blown to one of the Galapagos Islands
![Page 55: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Geographic Isolation• Later on, some birds from
species A crossed to another island in the Galapagos group
• The finches then became unable to fly from island to island and become isolated from each other and no longer share a common gene pool
![Page 56: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Changes in the Gene Pool
• Overtime, populations on each island became adapted to their local environments
![Page 57: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Reproductive Isolation• Now imagine that a
few birds from the second island cross back to the first island
• Q: Will the population A birds, breed with the population B birds?
• A: Probably not
![Page 58: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Ecological Competition• As these two new
species live together in the same environment, they compete with each other for available seeds
• The more different birds are, the higher fitness they have, due to less compitition
![Page 59: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Continued Evolution• This process of isolation
on different islands, genetic change, and reproductive isolation probably repeated itself time and time again across the entire Galapagos island chain
• Over many generations, it produced the 13 different finch species found there today
![Page 60: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Studying Evolution Since Darwin
• It is useful to review and critique the strength and weakness of evolutionary theory
• Darwin made bold assumptions about heritable variation, the age of the Earth, and the relationships among organisms
• New data from genetics, physics, and biochemistry could have proved him wrong on many counts, and they did not
• Scientific evidence supports the theory that living species descended with modification from common ancestors that lived in the past
![Page 61: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Limitations of Research• The Grants data shows how
competition and climate change affects natural selection
• However, they did not observe the formation of a new species
![Page 62: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Unanswered Questions• Many new discoveries have led to
new hypotheses that refine and expand Darwin’s original ideas
• No scientist suggests that all evolutionary processes are fully understood. Many unanswered questions remain
![Page 63: Biology - Chp 16 - Evolution Of Populations - Powerpoint](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55500e08b4c90555618b4837/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Why Understanding Evolution is Important?
• Evolution continues today
Ex.)
• Drug resistance in bacteria and viruses
• Pesticide resistance in insects
• Evolutionary theory helps us understand and respond to these changes in ways that improve human life
