The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is among the most important concepts in biology. The Academies have been active for a long time in helping people who are interested in science comprehend the theory of evolution and how it influences all areas of scientific exploration.
This site provides students, 에볼루션사이트 teachers and general readers with a range of learning resources about evolution. It contains key video clips from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It is an emblem of love and unity in many cultures. It can be used in many practical ways as well, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they react to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts to depict the biological world were founded on categorizing organisms on their metabolic and physical characteristics. These methods, which are based on the sampling of different parts of organisms, or DNA fragments have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. However the trees are mostly made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity is not represented in a large way3,4.
In avoiding the necessity of direct experimentation and observation genetic techniques have enabled us to represent the Tree of Life in a more precise way. We can construct trees using molecular techniques such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the dramatic expansion of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a large amount of biodiversity is waiting to be discovered. This is especially relevant to microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and 에볼루션 바카라 무료 are usually found in one sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes resulted in an unfinished draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a variety of bacteria, archaea and other organisms that have not yet been isolated or their diversity is not well understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life is particularly beneficial in assessing the biodiversity of an area, assisting to determine if certain habitats require protection. The information is useful in many ways, including finding new drugs, fighting diseases and enhancing crops. This information is also extremely beneficial to conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying the areas that are most likely to contain cryptic species with important metabolic functions that may be at risk of anthropogenic changes. While funds to safeguard biodiversity are vital but the most effective way to ensure the preservation of biodiversity around the world is for more people in developing countries to be empowered with the necessary knowledge to act locally to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between species. Scientists can construct an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolution of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or similarities. The role of phylogeny is crucial in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Identifies the relationships between organisms that have similar characteristics and have evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits could be homologous, or analogous. Homologous characteristics are identical in their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits could appear like they are however they do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping referred to as a Clade. For instance, 에볼루션 슬롯 all the species in a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic egg and evolved from a common ancestor 에볼루션 바카라 (Evolution86147.Wikibuysell.Com) who had eggs. The clades are then connected to create a phylogenetic tree to determine which organisms have the closest relationship.
Scientists utilize DNA or 에볼루션 바카라 무료 RNA molecular information to build a phylogenetic chart that is more accurate and detailed. This data is more precise than morphological information and gives evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism or group. Molecular data allows researchers to identify the number of species who share a common ancestor and to estimate their evolutionary age.
Phylogenetic relationships can be affected by a variety of factors, including phenotypicplasticity. This is a type of behavior that alters in response to particular environmental conditions. This can cause a trait to appear more similar in one species than other species, which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be addressed by using cladistics. This is a method that incorporates the combination of analogous and homologous features in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics helps predict the duration and rate of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to safeguard from the threat of extinction. It is ultimately the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will lead to an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms change over time as a result of their interactions with their environment. A variety of theories about evolution have been developed by a variety of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who believed that an organism would evolve gradually according to its needs as well as the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that use or disuse of traits can cause changes that can be passed on to the offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, concepts from a variety of fields--including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance--came together to form the modern evolutionary theory synthesis, which defines how evolution is triggered by the variations of genes within a population, and how those variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift mutation, gene flow, and sexual selection, 에볼루션 무료체험 is a cornerstone of the current evolutionary biology and can be mathematically explained.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that genetic variation can be introduced into a species by mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, and also through the movement of populations. These processes, as well as others like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of a genotype over time) can lead to evolution which is defined by changes in the genome of the species over time, and the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype in the individual).
Students can gain a better understanding of the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology. In a study by Grunspan and colleagues. It was demonstrated that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their understanding of evolution during an undergraduate biology course. For more information on how to teach evolution, see The Evolutionary Potency in all Areas of Biology or Thinking Evolutionarily as a Framework for Infusing Evolution into Life Sciences Education.
Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution by studying fossils, comparing species, and observing living organisms. Evolution is not a distant event, but an ongoing process that continues to be observed today. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and elude new medications and animals alter their behavior to the changing environment. The changes that occur are often apparent.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was also at work. The main reason is that different traits confer a different rate of survival as well as reproduction, and may be passed on from generation to generation.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines color - was found in a group of organisms that interbred, it could become more common than any other allele. In time, this could mean that the number of moths with black pigmentation in a population may increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
Monitoring evolutionary changes in action is easier when a particular species has a rapid generation turnover such as bacteria. Since 1988 biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain. samples of each are taken regularly and more than 500.000 generations have passed.
Lenski's research has shown that a mutation can dramatically alter the rate at which a population reproduces and, consequently the rate at which it changes. It also shows that evolution takes time, 에볼루션 바카라 무료 (Evolutionsite30864.madmouseblog.com) something that is difficult for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is the way mosquito genes that are resistant to pesticides appear more frequently in areas where insecticides are employed. This is due to pesticides causing an exclusive pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The speed at which evolution takes place has led to a growing appreciation of its importance in a world shaped by human activity--including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats which prevent the species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make smarter decisions regarding the future of our planet as well as the life of its inhabitants.
