The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is a fundamental concept in biology. The Academies are committed to helping those interested in science to comprehend the evolution theory and how it can be applied across all areas of scientific research.
This site provides a wide range of sources for teachers, students as well as general readers about evolution. It includes the most important video clips from NOVA and WGBH-produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, represents the interconnectedness of all life. It is a symbol of love and unity in many cultures. It has numerous practical applications as well, including providing a framework for understanding the history of species and how they react to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts at depicting the biological world focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories which had been distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, 에볼루션 사이트 which rely on sampling of different parts of living organisms or small fragments of their DNA greatly increased the variety of organisms that could be represented in the tree of life2. However, these trees are largely made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity remains vastly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have significantly expanded our ability to depict the Tree of Life by circumventing the need for direct observation and experimentation. In particular, molecular methods enable us to create trees by using sequenced markers like the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
Despite the massive expansion of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, much biodiversity still remains to be discovered. This is especially true of microorganisms, which are difficult to cultivate and are typically only found in a single sample5. A recent study of all genomes that are known 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 is particularly useful for assessing the biodiversity of an area, helping to determine if specific habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, from identifying new remedies to fight diseases to enhancing the quality of the quality of crops. This information is also beneficial to conservation efforts. It helps biologists discover areas most likely to be home to cryptic species, which may have important metabolic functions and be vulnerable to changes caused by humans. While funds to protect biodiversity are essential, the best method to preserve the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing nations with the information they require to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny is also known as an evolutionary tree, reveals the connections between various groups of organisms. Scientists can build an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolution of taxonomic categories using molecular information and morphological similarities or differences. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding the relationship between genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Identifies the relationships between organisms that have similar traits and evolved from an ancestor with common traits. These shared traits may be homologous, or analogous. Homologous traits are similar in their evolutionary journey. Analogous traits could appear like they are but they don't have the same ancestry. Scientists combine similar traits into a grouping called a Clade. For example, all of the organisms that make up a clade share the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor that had eggs. The clades are then connected to form a phylogenetic branch to identify organisms that have the closest relationship to.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular data to construct a phylogenetic graph that is more precise and precise. This information is more precise than the morphological data and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism or group. Researchers can use Molecular Data to determine the age of evolution of organisms and determine how many species share a common ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships between species are influenced by many factors, 에볼루션코리아 including phenotypic plasticity a type of behavior that alters in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar in one species than other species, which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be mitigated by using cladistics, which is a a combination of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics can help predict the time and pace of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists to make decisions about the species they should safeguard from the threat of extinction. Ultimately, it is the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will create an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The fundamental concept of evolution is that organisms develop distinct characteristics over time as a result of their interactions with their environment. Many scientists have developed theories of evolution, 에볼루션코리아 including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274), who believed that an organism could develop according to its own requirements, 바카라 에볼루션 the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who believed that the use or absence of traits can lead to changes that are passed on to the next generation.
In the 1930s & 1940s, concepts from various fields, including natural selection, genetics & particulate inheritance, came together to form a contemporary evolutionary theory. This defines how evolution is triggered by the variations in genes within a population and how these variations alter over time due to natural selection. This model, which includes genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described.
Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have shown how variations can be introduced to a species via mutations, genetic drift and 에볼루션 무료체험바카라 (buhl-helms-2.blogbright.Net) reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, and even migration between populations. These processes, as well as others such as the directional selection process and the erosion of genes (changes in frequency of genotypes over time) can result in evolution. Evolution is defined as changes in the genome over time, as well as changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes within individuals).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education can increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny as well as evolution. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan and co., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their understanding of evolution during an undergraduate biology course.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have traditionally looked at evolution through the past, analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. But evolution isn't a thing that happened in the past. It's an ongoing process that is that is taking place today. Viruses evolve to stay away from new drugs and bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics. Animals adapt their behavior because of a changing world. The results are usually easy to see.
But it wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists realized that natural selection could be observed in action as well. The key to this is that different traits result in a different rate of survival and reproduction, and they can be passed down from one generation to another.
In the past, if one particular allele - the genetic sequence that determines coloration--appeared in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could rapidly become more common than all other alleles. As time passes, that could mean that the number of black moths in the population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and 에볼루션 바카라 behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
The ability to observe evolutionary change is easier when a species has a fast generation turnover, as with bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has been tracking twelve populations of E.coli that descend from a single strain. The samples of each population were taken regularly and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency of a population's reproduction. It also proves that evolution is slow-moving, a fact that some are unable to accept.
Another example of microevolution is that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in populations in which insecticides are utilized. Pesticides create an enticement that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The speed at which evolution can take place has led to a growing appreciation of its importance in a world shaped by human activities, including climate change, 에볼루션코리아 pollution and the loss of habitats that prevent the species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can assist you in making better choices about the future of our planet and its inhabitants.
