The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is one of the most important concepts in biology. The Academies have been for a long time involved in helping those interested in science comprehend the concept of evolution and 무료에볼루션 how it affects all areas of scientific research.
This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a wide range of learning resources on evolution. It includes key video clip from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, represents the interconnectedness of all life. It appears in many spiritual traditions and cultures as a symbol of unity and love. It has numerous practical applications as well, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts to depict the biological world were built on categorizing organisms based on their metabolic and physical characteristics. These methods, which are based on the collection of various parts of organisms or DNA fragments have greatly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. However, these trees are largely comprised of eukaryotes, and bacterial diversity is not represented in a large way3,4.
By avoiding the need for direct experimentation and observation, genetic techniques have made it possible to depict the Tree of Life in a much more accurate way. Trees can be constructed using molecular methods, such as the small-subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been greatly expanded thanks to genome sequencing. However there is a lot of diversity to be discovered. This is especially true of microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and are typically only present in a single specimen5. A recent analysis of all known genomes has produced a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including a large number of archaea and bacteria that have not been isolated, and whose diversity is poorly understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life can be used to evaluate the biodiversity of a particular area and determine if certain habitats need special protection. The information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying new medicines to combating disease to enhancing the quality of crops. This information is also extremely useful in conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas that are likely to have cryptic species, which could have vital metabolic functions and are susceptible to changes caused by humans. While conservation funds are important, the best method to protect the world's biodiversity is to empower more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between species. Scientists can create an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolution of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or similarities. Phylogeny is essential in understanding the evolution of biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms that share similar traits that have evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits may be homologous, or analogous. Homologous traits are identical in their evolutionary roots and analogous traits appear similar but do not have the same ancestors. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping called a the clade. For instance, all of the organisms that make up a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic egg and evolved from a common ancestor that had eggs. A phylogenetic tree is constructed by connecting clades to determine the organisms who are the closest to each other.
Scientists use DNA or RNA molecular information to create a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and detailed. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolution history of an organism. Molecular data allows researchers to determine the number of species who share the same ancestor and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationships between organisms are influenced by many factors, including phenotypic flexibility, a kind of behavior that changes in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar to one species than to another and 에볼루션 바카라 obscure the phylogenetic signals. This problem can be mitigated by using cladistics, which is a an amalgamation of analogous and homologous features in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics helps predict the duration and 에볼루션 무료체험 rate at which speciation occurs. This information will assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to save from extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity that will create a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme in evolution is that organisms change over time due to their interactions with their environment. Several theories of evolutionary change have been proposed by a wide range of scientists such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who proposed that a living organism develop slowly according to its needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits causes changes that could be passed onto offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from different areas, including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance, came together to create a modern synthesis of evolution theory. This defines how evolution happens through the variation of genes in a population and how these variants change with time due to natural selection. This model, which includes mutations, genetic drift in gene flow, and sexual selection is mathematically described.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have demonstrated that variation can be introduced into a species through mutation, genetic drift and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through the movement of populations. These processes, in conjunction with other ones like directionally-selected selection and erosion of genes (changes in the frequency of genotypes over time) can result in evolution. Evolution is defined by changes in the genome over time and changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes in an individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology education can improve students' understanding of phylogeny as well as evolution. A recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues, for 에볼루션카지노 example demonstrated that teaching about the evidence supporting evolution helped students accept the concept of evolution in a college biology course.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution by studying fossils, comparing species and observing living organisms. But evolution isn't just something that occurred in the past. It's an ongoing process happening today. The virus reinvents itself to avoid new drugs and bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics. Animals alter their behavior because of the changing environment. The results are often apparent.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection can be observed in action as well. The reason is that different characteristics result in different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and are passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one particular allele, the genetic sequence that determines coloration--appeared in a population of interbreeding organisms, it could quickly become more prevalent than all other alleles. As time passes, 에볼루션 무료체험 that could mean the number of black moths within a particular population could rise. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to track evolutionary change when an organism, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has studied twelve populations of E.coli that descend from a single strain. Samples of each population have been taken regularly and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's research has revealed that a mutation can profoundly alter the efficiency with which a population reproduces--and so the rate at which it changes. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time, which is hard for some to accept.
Microevolution can also be seen in the fact that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in areas that have used insecticides. This is because the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace of evolution taking place has led to a growing recognition of its importance in a world that is shaped by human activities, including climate change, pollution and the loss of habitats which prevent many species from adjusting. Understanding evolution will help us make better decisions regarding the future of our planet, and 에볼루션 바카라 체험 무료체험 (telegra.ph) the lives of its inhabitants.
