Reproduction is selected for, by definition.

- WHY??
Bigger is better….
As cells increase in size, they decrease in efficiency.
![Page 5: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
- WHY??
Bigger is better….
So selection favors growth…
But as cells increase in size, they decrease in efficiency.
![Page 6: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The “surface area to volume ratio” decreases as something increases in size….
SA/V = 6 SA/V = 3 SA/V = 1.5
![Page 7: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The “surface area to volume ratio” decreases as something increases in size….
The surface area – the membrane – limits the rate of supply of nutrients to the cell.
The volume – where all the enzymes are – represents potential production and ‘demand’ for nutrients.
SA/V = 6 SA/V = 3 SA/V = 1.5
![Page 8: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So, as something gets larger, the volume increases more than the surface area… and the demand for nutrients (to meet peak productivity) grows faster than the rate at which the more slowly increasing SA can supply them. So, supply fails to meet demand, and the cell cannot meet peak productivity… it becomes less efficient.
SA/V = 6 SA/V = 3 SA/V = 1.5
![Page 9: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
- WHY??
Bigger is better….
So selection favors growth…
But as cells increase in size, they decrease in efficiency.
So, to get bigger, most organisms increase cell number, not cell size….
![Page 10: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
- WHY??
And with many cells, cell specialization can increase efficiency at the organismal level.

VIII. CELL REPRODUCTIONOverview: Why Reproduce?A. The Cell Cycle 1. Interphase:
Some cell types are "stuck" in this stage when they mature... it is only "stem cells" that keep dividing. In some tissues, all stem cells eventually mature, so the tissue can't regenerate (neurons)
![Page 14: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

G0
If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell continues on in the cell cycle.
If a cell does not receive a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell exits the cell cycle and goes into G0, a nondividing state.

VIII. CELL REPRODUCTIONOverview: Why Reproduce?A. The Cell CycleB. DNA Replication
1. Initiation
- Replisomes land at "origin" - They have a variety of enzymes that work together, including:
HELICASE that unzips the double helix. PRIMASE, an RNA POLYMERASE, that starts replication DNA POLYMERASES that make DNA.
![Page 21: VIII. CELL REPRODUCTION. Overview: Why Reproduce?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649ef15503460f94c02c00/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Prophase. The chromatin is condensing.The nucleolus is beginning to disappear.Although not yet visible in the micrograph, the mitotic spindle is starting to form.
Prometaphase. Wenow see discrete chromosomes; each consists of two identical sister chromatids. Laterin prometaphase, the nuclear envelope will fragment.
Metaphase. The spindle is complete, and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all at the metaphase plate.
Anaphase. The chromatids of each chromosome have separated, and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the ends of the cell as their kinetochore micro- tubules shorten.
Telophase. Daughter nuclei are forming. Meanwhile, cytokinesis has started: The cell plate, which will divide the cytoplasm in two, is growing toward the perimeter of the parent cell.

"Not only the ass and the horse, but also man, the apes, the quadrupeds, and all the animals might be regarded as constituting but a single family... If it were admitted that the ass is of the family of the horse, and different from the horse only because it has varied from the original form, one could equally well say that the ape is of the family of man, that he is a degenerate man, that man and ape have a common origin; that, in fact, all the families, among plants as well as animals, have come from a single stock, and that all the animals are descended from a single animal, from which have sprung in the course of time, as a result of progress or of degeneration, all the other races of animals. For if it were once shown that we are justified in establishing these families; if it were granted that among animals and plants there has been (I do say several species) but even a single one, which has been produced in the course of direct decent from another species; if, for example, it were true that the ass is but a degeneration from the horse - then there would no longer be any limit to the power of nature, and we should not be wrong in supposing that, with sufficient time, she has been able from a single being to derive all the other organized beings. But this is by no means a proper representation of nature. We are assured by the authority of revelation that all animals have participated equally in the grace of direct Creation and that the first pair of every species issued forth fully formed from the hands of the Creator." George Louis Leclerc, Compte de Buffon, Histoire Naturelle (1753)

“…The archipelago is a little world within itself, or rather a satellite attached to America, whence it has derived a few stray colonists, and has received the general character of its indigenous productions. Considering the small size of the islands, we feel the more astonished at the number of their aboriginal beings, and at their confined range.”

"Seeing this gradation and diversity of structure in one small, intimately related group of birds, one might really fancy that from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends."

b. Island Communities
- Uniqueness correlates with degree of isolation
- Dominated by dispersive forms
- Variation among islands
The fact that islands are populated by dispersive forms suggests that they came from populations on the mainland. However, the species on the islands are different from the mainland species. So, if the species originally came from the mainland, they must have changed through time to become the species we see today.

Darwin began to think… could the variation WITHIN species eventually lead to variation BETWEEN species?
Could organisms in a species become so different that they become different species?

Premise 1: Species that are alive today are different from those that have lived previously. Premise 2: Spontaneous Generation is refuted, so organisms only come from other organisms. Conclusion 1: Thus, the organisms alive today must have come from those pre-existing, yet different, species. Conclusion 2: There must have been change through time (evolution).Conclusion 3: The fossil record, vestigial organs, and homologies are all suggestive of descent from common ancestors.

“In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I had begun my systematic enquiry, I happened to read for amusement Malthus on Population and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from long-continued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the formation of new species. Here, then, I had at last got a theory by which to work; but I was so anxious to avoid prejudice, that I determined not for some time to write even the briefest sketch of it. In June 1842 I first allowed myself the satisfaction of writing a very brief abstract of my theory in pencil in 35 pages; and this was enlarged during the summer of 1844 into one of 230 pages, which I had fairly copied out and still possess.” - The Autobiography of Charles Darwin 1809-1882 (Barlow 1958).

2.The Theory of Natural Selection
"It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved". - The Origin of Species (Darwin 1859).

“Can we believe that natural selection could produce, on the one hand, organs of trifling importance, such as the tail of a giraffe, which serves as a fly-flapper, and, on the other hand, organs of such wonderful structure, as the eye, of which we hardly as yet fully understand the inimitable perfection?”– Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859).

“To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859).

“As natural selection acts solely by the preservation of profitable modifications, each new form will tend in a fully-stocked country to take the place of, and finally to exterminate, its own less improved parent or other less-favoured forms with which it comes into competition. Thus extinction and natural selection will, as we have seen, go hand in hand. Hence, if we look at each species as descended from some other unknown form, both the parent and all the transitional varieties will generally have been exterminated by the very process of formation and perfection of the new form.” –,The Origin of Species (Darwin 1859)
