GLE 1.3.9

Analyze the scientific evidence used to develop the theory of biological evolution and the concepts of natural selection, speciation, adaptation and the biological diversity.

 

Evidence of Learning

a)      Identify or describe the factors that drive natural selection (overproduction of offspring, genetic variability of offspring, finite supply of resources, competition for resources, differential survival)

b)      Identify, describe, or explain how natural selection and adaptation lead to organisms well suited for survival in particular environments.

c)      Identify or describe the degree of evolutionary relationship between organisms based on biochemical, genetic, anatomical, and/or fossil record similarities and/or differences. 

Ch. 15                          Darwins Theory of Evolution

  • 15-1 The Puzzle of Life’s Diversity
    • Darwin was intrigued by the fact that so many plants and animals seemed remarkably well suited to their environment. Pg. 370
  • 15-2 Ideas that shape Darwin’s Thinking
    • Geological forces move slowing, creating rock layers, mountains, and canyons. The earth is millions of years old. (Hutton) Pg. 374
    • If populations grow unchecked, sooner or later there would be insufficient living space and food for everyone (Malthus). Pg. 377

Factors that drive natural selection

  1. Individual organisms differ from one another. (genetic variability of offspring)
  2. Organisms produce more offspring than can survive. (overproduction of offspring)
  3. Individuals must compete for resources. (finite supply of resources and competition for resources)
  4. Because each individual is unique- some have characteristics that are advantages and some have disadvantages.
  5. Individuals best suited will survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to their offspring. (differential survival)
  6. In this way, populations change over time. Pg. 386

Ch. 17 & 18 Guided Reading

Classification of Organisms handout

  • 15-3 Darwin Presents his Case “Natural Selection”
    • Natural variation- differences among individuals of a species. Pg 379

    • Natural Selection- Overtime, natural selection results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population. Natural selection can only be seen over many successive generations.
    • The fossil record provides evidence of natural selection. Layered rocks show the gradual changes in a species over time. Pg. 382-383
    • Homologous Body Structures- parts with a different mature form, but develop from the same embryonic tissue. Pg. 384
    • Vestigial organs- parts/organs that are reduced in size and seem to serve no function. Pg. 384-385
    • Embryonic development- physical similarities between embryos of many species. Pg. 385
    • Survival of the Fittest- the key to survival, is how well suited an organism is to its environment. Because each individual is unique, individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for a particular environment will be more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genetic favorability. Individuals that have characteristics that are not well suited will die and leave few offspring. Pg. 380-381
    • Adaptation- an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival. Adaptations can be physical, such as sharp quills, or behavioral, such as hunting in groups. Pg. 380
    • Genetic variation-
      • Mutation- any change in the sequence of DNA.
      • Gene shuffling- crossing over during gamete formation (meiosis)
