Food Selection – Summary
Research suggests that trichromatic
vision is more likely to be
selected for when food is distinguished
from non-food by color.
Research suggests that dichromatic vision is more likely to be selected for when food is distinguished from non-food by shape.

The Battle of the Paramecia!Competitive Exclusion!
Alone, both species do just fine. The increase in population until the reach the limit of their surroundings and level off. When they try to hang out TOGETHER, things change—for ONE of the species, anyway. Which one? Who wins? Any ideas why that might be?

How Does Color Vision Work?Cell Biology
• The retina has two types of cells: rod cells and cone cells. There are more rod cells than cone cells. Cone cells are responsible for color vision.

How Does Color Vision Work?
There are three types of cone cells. More accurately, any given cone cell may be using only one of three types of transmembrane opsin proteins.
![Page 31: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Three types of Cone Cell
• Different kinds of opsin proteins embedded in the membrane of cone cells make each kind able to receive different information from the others.
• Central Dogma of Molecular Biology:DNA RNA ProteinGenes code for…. Proteins which lead to function!.

• To produce the signal for color vision, retinal must stimulate the opsin protein but this cannot occur while the retinal molecule is in its cis- conformation.
![Page 34: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• When 11-cis-retinal absorbs a photon (a basic unit of light), it changes from 11-cis-retinal to All-trans-retinal.
![Page 35: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• All-trans-retinal stimulates the opsin in the membrane of the cone cell.

• The cone cell sends a signal to the brain, resulting in vision.

The Cell Biology ofColor Vision in Monkeys
• A retinal chromophore opsin molecule is activated by a photon of light. This in turn stimulates the opsin protein that tells the cone cell to send a signal to the brain.
![Page 39: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Role of OpsinsThere are three types of opsins:Short Wave Sensitive (SWS)Medium Wave Sensitive (MWS)Long Wave Sensitive (LWS)
An individual possessing only SWS and MWS opsins will have dichromatic vision.
An individual possessing SWS, MWS and LWS opsins will have trichromatic vision.

How Does Color Vision Work?
- When cone cells with the MWS opsin protein are stimulated, green color is perceived by the brain.
- When cone cells with the LWS opsin protein are stimulated, red color is perceived by the brain.
- When cone cells with the SWS opsin protein are stimulated, blue color is perceived by the brain.
- When cone cells with the MWS opsin protein are stimulated AND cone cells with the LWS opsin are stimulated, yellow color is perceived by the brain.
![Page 42: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
How Does Color Vision Work?
- When cone cells with the MWS opsin protein are stimulated AND cone cells with the SWS opsin are stimulated, violet color is perceived by the brain.
- When cone cells with the SWS opsin protein are stimulated AND cone cells with the LWS opsin are stimulated, cyan color is perceived by the brain.
- When all cone cells are stimulated in equal proportions, white light is perceived by the brain.
- We perceive different shades of light when our different types of cone cells are stimulated in different proportions.

Opsin Response to Light
The responses to light of each opsin protein (S, M and L) in trichromats are shown to the right.
Note how similar the curves look for M and L. The L curve is shifted by about 30 nm response maximum to the right (longer wavelength).

Opsin Response to Light
A third opsin provides another channel for sending color signals to the brain. Three opsin proteins allow the eye to detect a richer variety of light wavelengths resulting in the ability to distinguish more colors.

The Genetics of Color Vision
• The section of DNA on a chromosome that codes for an opsin protein is called an opsin gene.
![Page 51: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Location of Opsin Genes
The gene coding for the SWS opsin protein is located on chromosome #7.
The gene coding for the MWS and LWS opsins are located on the X-chromosome.
![Page 52: AP Biology Discussion Notes Wednesday 4/29/2015. Goals for the Day Understand how we influence the environment & organisms around us Be able to tie together](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ecf5503460f94bdd148/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Evolution of LWS Opsin Gene
The LWS gene arose through gene duplication and gene mutation of the MWS gene on the X-chromosome.

MWS Opsin Gene vs. LWS Opsin Gene
Each opsin gene is exactly the same length (1092 nucleotides)
MWS Opsin Protein vs. LWS Opsin Protein
These 1092 nucleotides undergo transcription and translation and result in a protein that is
364 amino acids in length.

• Three simple substitution mutations change the properties of the opsin protein.
• Now, rather than being maximally stimulated at ~534nm, the resulting opsin protein is maximally stimulated at ~564nm.

Genes code for opsin proteins; the opsin proteins facilitate color vision.
• Some new world monkey species have two different MWS alleles. If a female is heterozygous for these alleles she can produce three different types of opsin protein. This means that SOME females in SOME new world species are trichromatic. Females that are homozygous for the MWS gene on the x-chromosome are dichromatic.

Ancestral Characteristic
• An Ancestral Characteristic is a characteristic shared through common ancestry. A characteristic that is thought to have also been present in the common ancestor.
• In primates for example DICHROMATIC vision would be considered an “ancestral characteristic” while trichromatic vision would be considered a derived characteristic (one not present in the common ancestor of 2 groups)
