The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is a key concept in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those who are interested in science understand evolution theory and how it can be applied across all areas of scientific research.
This site provides a wide range of sources for students, teachers and general readers of evolution. It includes key video clips from NOVA and WGBH's science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It appears in many religions and cultures as symbolizing unity and love. It also has many practical applications, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and 바카라 에볼루션 how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
The first attempts at depicting the world of biology focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories which had been distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods depend on the collection of various parts of organisms, or fragments of DNA, have greatly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. However these trees are mainly comprised of eukaryotes, and bacterial diversity is still largely unrepresented3,4.
By avoiding the necessity for direct observation and experimentation genetic techniques have allowed us to represent the Tree of Life in a more precise manner. We can create trees by using molecular methods such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been significantly expanded by genome sequencing. However, there is still much biodiversity to be discovered. This is particularly relevant to microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and are usually present in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes known to date has created a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including a large number of bacteria and archaea that have not been isolated, and which are not well understood.
The expanded Tree of Life can be used to assess the biodiversity of a specific area and determine if certain habitats require special protection. This information can be utilized in a variety of ways, including finding new drugs, battling diseases and improving the quality of crops. This information is also valuable to conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas that are most likely to have species that are cryptic, which could have vital metabolic functions and are susceptible to changes caused by humans. While conservation funds are important, 에볼루션 슬롯게임 바카라 무료 (Full Survey) the best method to protect the biodiversity of the world is to equip more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to act locally and support conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between species. By using molecular information as well as morphological similarities and distinctions or ontogeny (the process of the development of an organism) scientists can construct an phylogenetic tree that demonstrates the evolution of taxonomic groups. The role of phylogeny is crucial in understanding the relationship between genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits that evolved from common ancestors. These shared traits could be either analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are the same in terms of their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits might appear similar however they do not have the same ancestry. Scientists arrange similar traits into a grouping called a Clade. For instance, all the organisms that make up a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor that had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree is constructed by connecting clades to determine the organisms which are the closest to one another.
Scientists make use of DNA or 에볼루션 바카라 무료 RNA molecular information to construct a phylogenetic graph that is more precise and precise. This data is more precise than morphological information and provides evidence of the evolution background of an organism or group. The analysis of molecular data can help researchers determine the number of organisms that have the same ancestor and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationships between organisms can be influenced by several factors, including phenotypic plasticity a type of behavior that alters in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a trait to appear more similar to one species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signal. However, this problem can be solved through the use of methods such as cladistics that combine similar and homologous traits into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can help predict the time and pace of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists make decisions about the species they should safeguard from the threat of extinction. It is ultimately the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will result in a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme in evolution is that organisms alter over time because of their interactions with their environment. Many theories of evolution have been proposed by a variety of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who proposed that a living organism develop slowly according to its requirements and needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who designed the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that use or disuse of traits can cause changes that could be passed onto offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from a variety of fields--including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance -- came together to form the modern evolutionary theory synthesis that explains how evolution occurs through the variation of genes within a population and how those variations change over time due to natural selection. This model, which includes mutations, genetic drift, gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed how variations can be introduced to a species through genetic drift, mutations, reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, and 에볼루션 바카라 무료 바카라사이트 (git.geesink.org) even migration between populations. These processes, in conjunction with others, such as directionally-selected selection and erosion of genes (changes to the frequency of genotypes over time) can result in evolution. Evolution is defined by changes in the genome over time and changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes within individuals).
Students can better understand the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology. In a recent study by Grunspan and colleagues., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their understanding of evolution in an undergraduate biology course.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally, scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species, and studying living organisms. Evolution is not a past event, but an ongoing process. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses reinvent themselves and elude new medications, and animals adapt their behavior in response to the changing environment. The resulting changes are often easy to see.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in action. The reason is that different characteristics result in different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines color - was present in a population of organisms that interbred, it could become more prevalent than any other allele. Over time, that would mean the number of black moths within the population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and 에볼루션 바카라 무료 behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolution when the species, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that descend from one strain. Samples of each population have been collected regularly and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's research has demonstrated that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency of a population's reproduction. It also proves that evolution takes time, a fact that some find difficult to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes that confer resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in populations where insecticides are used. That's because the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors those who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to an increasing appreciation of its importance especially in a planet shaped largely by human activity. This includes climate change, pollution, and habitat loss, which prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make smarter decisions about the future of our planet as well as the lives of its inhabitants.
