Evolution: Section 5
• Evolution: a change in species over time
• Finches on the island resembled South
American ones, but were not like the African
ones that had a similar environment.
• They must have migrated and evolved to fit
their environment over time.
What is the mechanism?
(How does the change happen?)
•
•
•
•
1859 Darwin finally published “On the
Origin of Species” (20 years after he
returned to England).
This was VERY controversial at the
time.
In the book he proposed evolution
happened through Natural Selection.
Natural Selection: Organisms best
suited to their environment will
survive and reproduce
How Natural Selection Causes Evolution
• Natural selection will
always improve the fit
between a species and its
environment.
• Key factor = environment
• Environment “selects”
which ones will survive and
reproduce.
• Natural selection is a
process that happens to
populations, not
individuals.
Fitness
• Fitness is a
measure of
reproductive
success.
• Those individuals
who leave the
largest number of
mature offspring
are the fittest.
Natural Selection vs. Artificial Selection
• Artificial Selection: man selects a trait.
• Natural Selection: nature selects the trait.
process that leads to DWM
• Survival of the Fittest: the ability to survive and
reproduce in your environment.
• Fitness is the result of adaptations
• Descent with Modification: each living species has
descended, with changes, from common ancestors.
(common descent) result of natural selection
Natural Selection vs. Artificial Selection
Example 1: Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
• Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.
• If someone gets sick they might be given an antibiotic which kills 99% of the
bacteria.
• The remaining 1% that survive are resistant, so when they reproduce they are
passing on the resistant gene.
• If someone gets sick with the resistant bacteria then the antibiotic will not help
them.
• Bacteria reproduce quickly through binary fission passing on these genes.
Antibiotic
Resistance
BrainPOP
Example 2: Peppered Moth
• Until the 1850s dark gray moths were rare. Almost all
moths were pale.
• In 1850 dark moths started to become more common,
usually in the highly industrialized areas. WHY?
Pale tree trunks were
made black by the
pollution from the
factories and dark
moths sitting on these
trees were better
camouflaged from
their predators and
lived on to reproduce
more black moths.
Example 3: Rats Adapt to Beat Poison
The poison warfarin was widely used to control the
rat population. However, a certain gene gives rats
resistance to it, so rats that carry it are more likely
to survive and reproduce. The gene has become
more frequent in the rat population, so warfarin is
not used as much any more.
Plicker Question
A mutation that occurs within a DNA sequence
is a(n) –
a. naturally occurring process that always affects
the phenotype of the organism
b. unnaturally occurring process that always affects
the phenotype of the organism
c. naturally occurring process that produces genetic
diversity
d. unnaturally occurring process that decreases
genetic diversity
Plicker Question
Global temperatures tend to change on a regular
basis. The availability of environmental resources
such as water and food tend to fluctuate on a
regular basis as well. Individuals who are better
able to cope with such challenges in their
environment tend to –
a. decrease in population over time leave more
offspring than those
b. more suited to the environment
c. leave fewer offspring than those less suited to
the environment
d. leave more offspring than those less suited to
the environment
Plicker Question
Which of the following outcomes would you
predict for a population of mosquitoes
exposed to a new pesticide?
a. Over several generations, the mosquitoes
would become resistant to the pesticide.
b. Over several generations, the mosquitoes
would evolve into several new species.
c. Over several generations, the mosquitoes
would all be killed and become extinct.
d. Over several generations, the mosquitoes
would be more susceptible to the pesticide.
Adaptations
How do adaptations help animals
survive in their environment?
• An adaptation is a body part or
behavior that helps an animal survive
in a particular environment.
• Adaptation can help an animal
breathe, catch food, or hide.
• All animals are adapted to live in
certain habitats.
• Animals that cannot adapt will die
out.
We can separate adaptations into two
categories:
Physical
AND
Behavioral
•Physical adaptations
are body structures that
allow an animal to find and
consume food, defend itself,
and to reproduce its
species.
•Physical adaptations
help an animal survive
in its environment.
© A. Weinberg
Physical adaptation
Camouflage (use of color in a surrounding)
The chameleon can change its color to match its
surroundings. Can you do that?
Physical adaptation
Mimicry
(looking or sounding like another living organism)
The Viceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look like the
Monarch butterfly. Can you tell them apart?
I’m the Viceroy!
Not poisonous
Poisonous
I’m the
Monarch!
Physical adaptation
Chemical defenses (like venom, ink,
sprays)
Physical adaptations
Body coverings & parts (claws, beaks, feet,
armor plates, skulls, teeth)
The elephant’s trunk is a physical adaptation that
helps it to clean itself, eat, drink, and to pick things up.
Behavioral Adaptations allow
animals to respond to life
needs.
Behavioral Adaptations are
animals’ actions.
Remember that Physical
Adaptations are body structures.
Each organism has unique
methods of adapting to its
environment by means of
different actions.
Homeostasis
• Maintenance of constant internal
conditions in the face of a varying
external environment.
• Examples:
– The thickening of fur in winter.
– The seeking of shade in heat.
– The production of more red blood cells at
high altitude.

A virus killed most of the blue-footed ducks in Japan reducing

preserve the species, 50 blue-footed ducks were
trapped and used to start a new population in England.
Eventually the 55 Rabbits normally eat some grass as a food
source. In a habitat, a new species of grass is introduced that
out-competes most of the original species of grass. The new
species of grass contains a chemical that is usually toxic and
