What is Evolution?• Change in the genetic makeup of a population
over time.• Fitness – those with favorable variations for
survival and reproduction.– Populations can evolve, not individuals.
• Diverse gene pool good for long-term survival of a species. Genetic variations are important!
• How do genetic variations occur?– Mutation, sexual reproduction, artificial selection,
genetic technology

Genetic variation in a population

AP Biology
Essence of Darwin’s ideas Natural selection
heritable variation exists in populations over-production of offspring
more offspring than the environment can support competition
for food, mates, nesting sites, escape predators differential survival
successful traits = adaptations differential reproduction
adaptations become more adaptations become more common in populationcommon in population

Lamarckian vs. Darwinian view
LaMarck in reaching higher
vegetation giraffes stretch their necks & transmits the acquired longer neck to offspring
Darwin giraffes born with longer
necks survive better & leave more offspring who inherit their long necks

Natural Selection• Major mechanism of evolution • Environment is always changing • Acts upon the phenotype of the population• Based on Darwin’s idea that resources are limited
and that there is competition for those resources.• Adaptation = a genetic variation favored by
natural selection.• When allele frequencies shift, speciation occurs
– Thus, the frequency change is NOT RANDOM

In addition to natural selection, evolutionary change is also driven by random processes…

AP Biology
Genetic Drift Chance events changing frequency of
traits in a population not adaptation to environmental conditions
not selection founder effect
small group splinters off & starts a new colony it’s random who joins the group
bottleneck a disaster reduces population to
small number & then population recovers & expands again but from a limited gene pool
who survives disaster may be random

AP Biology
Evidence for Evolution• Paleontology – fossils show change in a
species over time• Biogeography – Similar species are found in
similar ecosystems around the world• Morphology – Comparing structures
– Homologous structures – body parts with similar structure but possible different function. Shows common ancestry
– Analogous structures – similar structure develops in organisms that share a common ecosystem but not a common ancestry
• Biochemical or Molecular– Similarities in gene sequences, proteins, DNA

Fossils Preserved remains of living things Paleontology is the study of the fossil
record Most organisms do not leave a fossil after
death Explains the “missing links”
Sedimentation Fossils As the organism decomposes the
spaces will be filled with the minerals from the silt

How old is that fossil? Relative Dating
Age of fossils based according to their location in strata
Absolute Dating Age of fossils determined by analyzing the
content of radioactive isotopes found in the fossil.
Half-life: The length of time required for half of the radioactive elements to change into another stable element.
Unaffected by temperature, light, pressure, etc. All radioactive isotopes have a dependable half
life. Ex: C14 decays into N14
