nat selection + artifical selection Flashcards
(37 cards)
how are evoultion + nat selection related
evolution is a natural byproduct of natural selection
ex. humans come from monkeys?
what does it mean if two things are alike + theirs evidence
it means they share a common ansesctor
ex. monkeys + humans
-evidence
aposable thumbs, dna above 99%, ear shape
who created the theory of natural selection
Darwin (theory of natural selection)
artifcial selection + ex
its humans picking the best traits
ex
-dogs(why we have a mix of two dif breeds to combine the best traits of two dogs to create a great dog)
-pigs
-oyster
-salmon
explain the anle video
they put lizards with long legs that ar meant to be on thick on an island filled with branches. Come back a year later and the legs had gotten shorter proving natural selection
what 8-9 things prove evolution
- fossil record
- ancestor traits
- derived traits
- homologous structures
- analogous structure
- Vestigial structures
- embryos
- Comparitive biochemistry
- Geographic distrubition
how did things evolve
through nat selection
explain fossil record
= things in rock look excatly like living organsims
ex. fish
ex. amonite
ex. archaeoptrphx
explain ancestor traits
-traits inherited from common ancestor?
ex. jaws
ex. brown eyes
ex. backbones (we didn;t come up with it)
dervived traits
-mutation in most recent ancestor?
ex. blue eyes
ex. first mamal to have hair
ex. birds feathers through nat selection
homologus structures
same structure = same ancestor
ex. dog + human
ex. human + monkey
analogous structure
similar structure different ancestor
ex. bee vs. egale
ex. horse vs. humans
ex. spiders vs. humans
vestigal structure
don’t need it anymore so through evoultion we have gotten rid of it or it has gotten smaller
ex. appendex
-wisdom teeth
-tonsolgues
-no tail bone
-whales used to have legs but with no legs they are faster
-horses lost four fingers because its faster to run on just one finger
embryos
similiar embroys = smiliar ancestory
ex. chicken embryo look the same as human embryo’s
comparative biochemistry
same biochemical = same ancestor
ex. cows + human milk looks alike
ex. rihno horn + our fingernail
ex. feathers + feathers
geographic distribution
same animal + look dif bc natural selction is working on them differntly
ex. european wolf vs. asian wolf
use the 4 princples of natural selection on the black + white mice video
- variations -> different colors of mice in the population
- variations inherited -> the black mice inherited the gene from their parents
- some will die -> the white mice died
- offspring -> the black mice lived longer and found food easier so their varation was more likely to be passed down
what are the two possible outcomes with a mutation
- the mutation will not be helpful + it will die out
- or the varation will be good + the natural selection proccess occurs
bugs that camoflaouge
- stick bug
fitness in animal kingdom
- how much food can i find
- am I not being eaten + how man
-babies can i make (how good am I at staying alive)
ex of things mimicing each other
kingsnake mimics Coral snakes
- vicerory butterfly mimics monarch butterfly
- alligator snapping turtle (camouflages + mimics worm with tongue
what comes first mutation or the pressure?
the mutation because if the pressure comes first and you already don’t have something to fight it then you will die ( mutation comes first)
if you live in kenya do you want to be normal, carrier or having sickle cell?
carrier bc protected against malaria
(normal = high risk of getting malaria)
(sickle cell = born w/ deadly disease)
if you live in Colorado do you want to be normal, carrier or having sickle cell?
normal because there isn’t a risk of malaria here
(carrier no benfits bc protection against malaria is unesscary and 50% chance you kids are born with it)
(sickle cell = born w/ deadly disease)
