Chapter 22 Flashcards
(20 cards)
List 3 of darwins observations
- Variation among orgs in population
- where species located around globe
- fossil records
- comp morphology (Linnaeus)
- artificial selection
- geology and age of earth
- Malthus n economic theory
Microevolution
Cumulative genetic change w/in population, change in allele freq
Microevolution
Large scalar process on pop that can result in new species arising
Reasons for variation
- result of sexual reproduction, rando allele assortment
- competition
- diff in fitness makes some more freq
- orgs adapt to cdns, become best suited for cdns presented
Systematics
Study of diversity and relationship of orgs
DKPCOFGS
Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Evidence of ev
Fossils
Transitional links, some fossils show intermediate forms between two diff but related species
Evidence of ev
Biogeography
Distribution pattern consistent w/ theory orgs evolved in one place then migrated then continued to evolve
Opossum->kangaroos and koalas
Evidence of ev
Anatomy
Anatomical similarities
Homologous
Analogous
Vestigial
Evidence of ev
Bio and genetic
Almost all organisms use same molecules for genetic make up DNA and use ATP as energy currency
Org codon use same triplet code to make amino acids to proteins
Evidence of ev
Artificial selection
Controlling breeding causes increase in freq of certain trains
Life forms show 3 common trends
1) orgs suited uniquely to enviro
2) orgs share traits for similar lifestyles
3) life is diverse
Competence views evol
Lamarck
Believed species evolved to better suit enviro
But had wrong idea of inheritance of traits via use/disuse
Giraffe
Competence views evol
Malthus
lim resources
Excess pop growth
Struggle to survive/competition
Survival of richest
Linnaeus
Developed modern taxonomy
- binomial method of ID
- based groups on morphology
Alfred Russell Wallace
Ideas sim to Darwin
Had idea of nat sel, first to put in writing
Competence views evol
Cuvier
Developed paleontology
Older stratum more diff to current species
Inferred that extinction was common thing
Hutton and Lyell
Helped shame darwins Idea about gradualism
Grand canyons idea
Domain archea and bacteria
Appear 3.5 bya
Earliest orgs
Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes
Most have cell walls
Unicellular (biofilms)
Typically
