Evolution of Small Organic
Molecules
• Experiments by Stanley Miller in 1953
tested the hypothesis that small organic
molecules were formed at the ocean’s
surface.
• The first atmospheric gases (methane,
ammonia, and hydrogen) were placed into
a closed system, heated, and circulated
past an electric spark to simulate lightning.
• A variety of amino acids and organic acids
formed.
Miller’s experiment
Macromolecules
• There are three hypotheses concerning
how small organic molecules could give
rise to macromolecules:
• The RNA-first hypothesis.
• The Protein –first hypothosis.
• The Clay theory RNA and Protein arose
together
The Protocell
• Before the first true cell, there would have
been a protocell that had a lipid-protein
membrane and used energy metabolism.
• Fox has shown that if lipids are available to
microspheres, the two form a lipid-protein
membrane.
• Other work by Alexandr Oparin has shown
that concentrated mixtures of
macromolecules form coacervate droplets
that a semipermeable boundary may form
around.
The True Cell
• A true cell is a membrane-bounded
structure that can carry on protein
synthesis to produce the enzymes that
allow DNA to replicate.
• It is possible that the sequence of DNA to
RNA to protein developed in stages.
• Once the protocells acquired genes that
could replicate, they became cells capable
of reproducing, and evolution began.
Microevolution
Five Agents of Evolutionary Change
• Mutations provide new alleles and therefore underlie
all other mechanisms that produce variation.
• Genetic Drift changes in gene pool by chance due to
fouder effect or bottleneck effect
• Gene Flow is the movement of alleles between
populations (via migration)
• Nonrandom Mating, when individuals pair up, not by
chance, but by genotype or phenotype.
• Natural Selection, where populations become adapted
to their environment (specialized)
Natural Selection
• Natural selection is the process by which populations
become adapted to their environment.
• Evolution by natural selection requires:
• Variation
• Inheritance of the genetic difference
• Differential adaptedness
• Differential reproduction.
• Three types of natural selection are known:
• Stabilizing selection – an intermediate
phenotype is favored.
• Directional selection – one extreme phenotype
is favored.
• Disruptive selection – both extreme phenotypes
are favored over an intermediate phenotype.

Evolution and Classification of
Animals
• Animals are multicellular heterotrophs that
ingest their food.
• Animals belong to the Eukarya and kingdom
Animalia.
• In general, animals have some form of
locomotion and have tissues and organs.
• The adult is typically diploid and practices
sexual reproduction.
• An embryonic stage undergoes
development.
Evolution of Animals
• It is difficult to trace the complete
evolutionary tree of animals because softbodied animals are poorly preserved as
fossils.
• All animals probably evolved from a
protistan ancestor.
• All the major animal phyla include some
invertebrates, animals without backbones.
• The phylum Chordata is mainly composed
of vertebrates.
Animal diversity
Criteria for Classification
• The classification of animals is based on
the level of organization or number of
germ layers, symmetry, type of coelom,
body plan, and presence or absence of
segmentation.
• An evolutionary tree based on these
features depicts a possible evolutionary
relationship between the animals.

Type of Coelom
Level of Organization
• Animals can have the cellular level, the
tissue level, or the organ level of
organization.
• One of the main events during animal
development is the establishment of germ
layers.
• If two germ layers (ectoderm and
endoderm) are present, then the animal
has the tissue level of organization; if all
three germ layers are present, the organ
level of organization is attained.

Are “germ layers”
that are the basis

Type of Body Plan
Two body plans are present in the animal
kingdom: the sac plan and tube-within-atube plan.
Animals with a sac plan have an
incomplete digestive system with only one
opening.
Animals with the tube-within-a-tube plan
have a complete digestive system.
Two openings allows for specialization
along the length of the tube.
Type of Symmetry
• Animals can be asymmetrical, radially
symmetrical, or bilaterally symmetrical.
• Asymmetrical animals have no particular
symmetry.
• Radial symmetry means the animal is
organized similar to a wheel.
• Bilateral symmetry means the animal has
definite right and left halves.
• Bilateral symmetry leads to cephalization.
• Type of Coelom
• A true coelom (in coelomates) is an internal
body cavity completely lined with
mesoderm, where internal organs are
found.
• Coelomates are either protostomes or
deuterostomes.
• Acoelomates have mesoderm but no body
cavity.
• Animals that have a pseudocoelom have a
body cavity incompletely lined with
mesoderm.
Introducing the Invertebrates
• Sponges are asymmetrical.
• Cnidarians have radial symmetry.
• All other phyla contain bilaterally symmetrical
animals.
• Flatworms have three germ layers but no coelom.
• Roundworms have a pseudocoelom and a tubewithin-a-tube body plan.

Sponges: Phyllus Porifera
• Sponges are mainly marine animals at the
cellular level of organization.
• The sponge body wall has an outer layer
of epidermal cells; a middle layer
consisting of semi-fluid matrix where
amoeboid cells transport nutrients,
produce spicules, and form sex cells; and
an inner layer of collar cells with flagella
that wave water through pores and out an
osculum.

Phyllum: Cnidara
• Cnidarians are mostly coastal marine
animals with a tissue level of organization
and radial symmetry.
• They may be a polyp or a medusa or may
alternate between the two forms.
• They have cnidocytes that discharge stinging
nematocysts, long threads that may have
spines and contain a poison.
• Cnidarians are diverse and include sea
anemones, coral, and jellyfishes.
Hydra
• A hydra polyp has an outer layer of
epidermis derived from ectoderm and an
inner layer called gastrodermis derived from
endoderm.
• Mesoglea lies between the two layers and
contains a nerve net that communicates with
muscle fibers so that the animal is able to
move.
• Digestion begins in a gastrovascular cavity
and finishes in gastrodermal cells.
• Nutrients and gases are distributed from
layer to layer by diffusion.

Roundworms
• Roundworms have the tube-within-a-tube plan;
they are prevalent in soil and some parasitize
animals and plants.
• The pseudocoelom is a body cavity
incompletely lined with mesoderm.
• The fluid-filled interior forms a hydrostatic
skeleton.
• Most species of roundworms have separate
males and females.

Molluscs
• Molluscs, along with annelids and
arthropods, are protostomes because the
first embryonic opening becomes the
mouth.
• Because the true coelom form by the
splitting of the mesoderm, protostomes are
also schizocoelomates.
• Many protostomes also have trochophore
(top-shaped) larvae.

Annelids
• Annelids are segmented both externally,
and internally by partitions called septa.
• Annelids have a hydrostatic skeleton, and
partitioning of the coelom permits each
body segment to move independently.
• The tube-within-a-tube body plan allows the
digestive tract to have specialized organs.
Polychaete diversity
Earthworm, Lumbricus
Leeches
• Most leeches are fluid feeders that attach
themselves to open wounds using
suckers.
• Bloodsuckers, such as the medicinal
leech, can cut through tissue.
• An anticoagulant (hirudin) in their saliva
keeps blood from clotting.

Arthropods
• Arthropods are the most varied and
numerous of animals.
• The success of arthropods is largely
attributable to a flexible exoskeleton, jointed
appendages, and specialization of body
regions.
• Three body regions – head, thorax, and
abdomen – with specialized appendages in
each region, and a well-developed nervous
system characterize this group.

Echinoderms
• Echinoderms and chordates are deuterostomes.
• In deuterostomes, the second embryonic opening
becomes the mouth and a coelom forms by
outpocketing of the primitive gut making these
animals enterocoelomates.
• A dipleurula larva is found among some.

Invertebrates
Characteristics of Echinoderms
• Echinoderms are a diverse group of
marine animals; there are no terrestrial
echinoderms.
• They have an endoskeleton consisting of
spine-bearing, calcium-rich plates.
• Echinoderms are often radially
symmetrical, although the larva is a freeswimming filter feeder with bilateral
symmetry.
• Echinoderm Diversity
• Echinoderms include:
• Sea lilies (class Crinoidea)
• Sea cucumbers (class Holothuroidea)
• Brittle stars (class Ophiuroidea)
• Sea urchins and sand dollars (class
Echinoidea)
• Sea stars (class Asteroidea)

Chordates
• Chordates (tunicates, lancelets, and
vertebrates) have:
• a supporting notochord,
• a dorsal hollow nerve cord,
• pharyngeal pouches, and a
• post-anal tail at one time during their
development.
Chordate characteristics
Evolution of Chordates
• The lancelets and tunicates are
invertebrate chordates.
• Vertebrates include the fishes, amphibians,
reptiles, birds, and mammals.
• Cartilaginous fishes were the first to have
jaws; amphibians evolved legs and invaded
land.
• Reptiles, birds, and mammals have means
of reproduction suitable to land.
Evolutionary tree of chordates
No way!
Invertebrate Chordates
• Lancelets and tunicates are the invertebrate
chordates.
• Lancelets are small animals found in shallow
water along the coasts; they filter feed on
microscopic organisms.
• Tunicates (sea squirts) live on the ocean floor
and filter water entering the animal through an
incurrent siphon.
• Adult tunicates lack chordate characteristics
except gill slits, but adult lancelets retain the
four chordate characteristics.

Brachiostoma
Anatomy of a tunicate, Halocynthia
True Vertebrates
• At some time during their lives, all vertebrates
have the four chordate characteristics.
• The notochord is replaced by the vertebral
column; this endoskeleton demonstrates
segmentation.
• The internal organs are well developed and
cephalization places complex sense organs at
the head.
• Vertebrates are distinguished in particular
by these features:
• Living endoskeleton
• Closed circulatory system
• Paired appendages
• Efficient respiration and excretion
• High degree of cephalization
• The evolution of jaws allowed some
vertebrates to take up the predatory way
of life.
Milestones in vertebrate evolution
We got bones!
We made it on land!
We laid land-eggs!
The first vertibrate animals to arrive:
Fishes!
• Today there are three living classes of fishes:
jawless fishes, cartilaginous fishes, and bony
fishes – the last two groups have jaws.
• Jawless Fishes
• The first vertebrates were jawless fishes, today
represented by hagfishes and lampreys with no
scales or paired fins. (these fish suck the blood of other
fishes…like underwater vampires)
• Water moves in and out through gill openings.
The most primitive jawed fishes:
Cartilaginous Fishes
• The cartilaginous fishes include the sharks, rays and
skates which have skeletons made of cartilage (like our
ears and nose…strong, but still soft and flexible).
• Skates and rays are flat fishes that live partly buried in
the sand and feed on mussels and clams –”everybody do
the stingray shuffle!”
• Sharks and rays have a sense of electric currents in
water, a lateral line system, and a keen sense of smell;
these attributes help detect prey – they can feel you even
when they can’t see you! So don’t thrash!!!!
• Bony Fishes
• Bony fishes have jaws and two pairs of fins and
are the most diverse and numerous of all
vertebrates (think: tuna, salmon, koi, etc...)
• Bony fishes include those that are ray-finned
(most abundant) and a few that are lobefinned; some of the lobed-finned fishes have
lungs and likely gave rise to amphibians.
• A swim bladder may provide buoyancy in rayfinned fishes.
Jawed fishes
Please don’t step on me!
Amphibians
• Amphibians evolved from the lobe-finned
fishes and are tetrapods with two pairs of limbs.
• They are represented today by frogs, newts,
toads, and salamanders.
• Amphibians usually return to the water to
reproduce and require moist habitats.
• Frog tadpoles metamorphose into terrestrial
adults with lungs.
Frog metamorphosis
• These features distinguish amphibians:
• Usually tetrapods
• Mostly metamorphosis
• Three-chambered heart (2 atria, one
ventricle)
• Usually lungs in adults
• Smooth, moist skin
Reptiles
• Reptiles include the extinct dinosaurs and
today’s snakes, lizards, turtles, alligators, and
crocodiles.
• Reptiles have well-developed lungs within a rib
cage; they are covered with scales that protect
them from desiccation and predators.
• Reptiles have internal fertilization and also lay a
shelled egg, which contains extraembryonic
membranes, including an amnion that allows
the embryo to develop on land.
The tongue as a sense organ
The reptilian egg allows
reproduction on land
• Features that distinguish reptiles include:
• Usually tetrapods
• Lungs with expandable rib cages
• Shelled, leathery egg
• Dry, scaly skin
• Fishes, amphibians, and reptiles are “ectothermic”also known as….. COLD-BLOODED!
• Therefore…reptiles try to regulate their body
temperature by moving to a warmer or cooler location
as needed.
• The opposite of this is WARM-BLOODED, or
“endothermic” b/c we regulate body temp. from our
insides!
Look up! Beautiful Birds
• Birds are characterized by the presence of
feathers, which are modified reptilian scales.
• Birds lay hard-shelled eggs rather than the
leathery eggs of reptiles.
• Birds are likely closely related to bipedal
dinosaurs, although this is still under study.
Bird anatomy
• Anatomy and Physiology of Birds
• Features of birds are related to the ability to
fly.
• Bird forelimbs are modified as wings.
• Bones are hollow (yes way!) and laced with
air cavities; the sternum has a keel to which
flight muscles attach. (weigh a bird, VERY light!)
• A horny beak replaces teeth.
• Respiration is efficient due to air sacs.
• Birds have a four-chambered heart, and birds
are homeothermic.
Bird beaks
Bird circulatory system
• Classification of Birds
• The classification of birds is based on beak
and foot types and to some extent on
habitat and behavior.
• These features distinguish birds:
• Feathers
• Hard-shelled egg
• Four-chambered heart
• Usually wings for flying
• Air sacs
• Homeothermic
Mammals
• Mammals evolved from reptiles and
flourished after the demise of dinosaurs.
• Mammals have hair that helps them
maintain a constant body temperature.
• Like birds, mammals have a fourchambered heart.
• Internal development in the uterus shelters
the young.
• Mammary glands allow mammals to
nourish their young.
