The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is a fundamental concept in biology. The Academies have been for a long time involved in helping those interested in science understand the concept of evolution and how it permeates all areas of scientific research.
This site offers a variety of resources for teachers, students, and general readers on evolution. It has important video clips from NOVA and the WGBH-produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It is seen in a variety of religions and cultures as an emblem of unity and love. It has numerous practical applications as well, such as providing a framework to understand 에볼루션 the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the world of biology focused on separating species into distinct categories that were identified by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the sampling of various parts of living organisms or on short fragments of their DNA greatly increased the variety of organisms that could be included in the tree of life2. However, these trees are largely made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity is still largely unrepresented3,4.
In avoiding the necessity of direct observation and experimentation genetic techniques have enabled us to depict the Tree of Life in a more precise way. We can construct trees 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 still much biodiversity to be discovered. This is especially true of microorganisms, which are difficult to cultivate and are often only represented in a single specimen5. A recent analysis of all genomes known to date has produced a rough draft version of the Tree of Life, including numerous archaea and bacteria that have not been isolated, and 에볼루션 카지노 their diversity is not fully understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life is particularly useful in assessing the diversity of an area, which can help to determine whether specific habitats require protection. This information can be used in many ways, including finding new drugs, fighting diseases and improving the quality of crops. This information is also extremely beneficial in conservation efforts. It helps biologists determine those areas that are most likely contain cryptic species with potentially important metabolic functions that may be vulnerable to anthropogenic change. While funding to protect biodiversity are essential, the best method to preserve the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing countries with the necessary knowledge to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between species. Utilizing molecular data as well as morphological similarities and distinctions, or ontogeny (the course of development of an organism) scientists can create a phylogenetic tree which illustrates the evolution of taxonomic categories. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding the evolution of biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits and evolved from an ancestor with common traits. These shared traits can be either homologous or analogous. Homologous characteristics are identical in their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits might appear like they are, but they do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping called a clade. For 에볼루션 사이트 instance, all of the species in a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor who had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree is constructed by connecting the clades to determine the organisms which are the closest to each other.
Scientists make use of molecular DNA or RNA data to build a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and detailed. This data is more precise than the morphological data and provides evidence of the evolution history of an organism or group. Researchers can use Molecular Data to estimate the age of evolution of living organisms and discover how many organisms have an ancestor common to all.
The phylogenetic relationships of a species can be affected by a variety of factors, including the phenomenon of phenotypicplasticity. This is a kind of behavior that changes due to particular environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar to one species than another, clouding the phylogenetic signal. However, this problem can be cured by the use of techniques like cladistics, which incorporate a combination of analogous and homologous features into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics aids determine the duration and rate at which speciation occurs. This information can aid conservation biologists to make decisions about which species they should protect from extinction. In the end, it is the conservation of phylogenetic variety which will create an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The fundamental concept of evolution is that organisms acquire various characteristics over time as a result of their interactions with their environments. Many scientists have proposed theories of evolution, such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that an organism could evolve according to its own requirements as well as the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), who created the modern hierarchical taxonomy as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who believed that the use or absence of traits can lead to changes that are passed on to the next generation.
In the 1930s and 1940s, concepts from various fields, including natural selection, genetics, and particulate inheritance--came together to form the current evolutionary theory that explains how evolution occurs through the variation of genes within a population, and how those variations change in time as a result of natural selection. This model, which incorporates mutations, genetic drift in gene flow, and sexual selection, 에볼루션 can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have shown that variation can be introduced into a species via mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, and also through the movement of populations. These processes, as well as others such as directional selection or genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of a genotype over time) can lead to evolution that is defined as changes in the genome of the species over time and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype in the individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education could increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolutionary. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan et al. It was demonstrated that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their acceptance of evolution during an undergraduate biology course.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have studied evolution by looking in the past--analyzing fossils and 에볼루션 카지노 사이트 comparing species. They also study living organisms. Evolution is not a past event, but an ongoing process that continues to be observed today. Bacteria mutate and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and are able to evade new medications and animals alter their behavior to the changing environment. The changes that occur are often apparent.
However, it wasn't until late-1980s that biologists realized that natural selection could be seen in action, as well. The key is the fact that different traits can confer the ability to survive at different rates as well as reproduction, and may be passed on from one generation to another.
In the past when one particular allele - the genetic sequence that determines coloration--appeared in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could rapidly become more common than the other alleles. Over time, this would mean that the number of moths with black pigmentation in a population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolution when a species, such as bacteria, 에볼루션카지노 has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that are descended from a single strain. Samples from each population have been collected regularly, and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate at which change occurs and the rate of a population's reproduction. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time--a fact that many find difficult to accept.
Another example of microevolution is the way mosquito genes that confer resistance to pesticides show up more often in populations where insecticides are employed. This is due to the fact that the use of pesticides creates a pressure that favors individuals with resistant genotypes.
The speed at which evolution can take place has led to an increasing appreciation of its importance in a world that is shaped by human activity--including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats that prevent the species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can help us make better decisions about the future of our planet and the life of its inhabitants.
