The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is one of the most important concepts in biology. The Academies have been active for a long time in helping those interested in science understand the concept of evolution and how it influences all areas of scientific exploration.
This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a wide range of educational resources on evolution. It also includes important video clips from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol that symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It is an emblem of love and unity in many cultures. It has many practical applications in addition to providing a framework for understanding the evolution 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 were identified by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, based on sampling of different parts of living organisms or on sequences of small fragments of their DNA, significantly increased the variety that could be included in a tree of life2. The trees are mostly composed by eukaryotes, and the diversity of bacterial species is greatly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to visualize the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for 에볼루션 바카라 체험 카지노 사이트 (https://www.bitsdujour.Com/profiles/BWxHmq) direct observation and experimentation. In particular, molecular methods allow us to construct trees using sequenced markers like the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.
Despite the massive expansion of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, much biodiversity still awaits discovery. This is particularly the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate, and are typically found in a single specimen5. A recent study of all known genomes has produced a rough draft version of the Tree of Life, including many archaea and bacteria that have not been isolated and which are not well understood.
This expanded Tree of Life is particularly useful in assessing the diversity of an area, which can help to determine if specific habitats require protection. This information can be utilized in a variety of ways, such as identifying new drugs, combating diseases and improving crops. The information is also valuable for conservation efforts. It helps biologists discover areas most likely to be home to species that are cryptic, which could have vital metabolic functions and are susceptible to the effects of human activity. While funding to protect biodiversity are important, the most effective method to protect the world's biodiversity is to empower more people in developing nations with the information they require to take action locally and encourage conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny, also called an evolutionary tree, shows the relationships between different groups of organisms. Utilizing molecular data as well as morphological similarities and distinctions or ontogeny (the course of development of an organism) scientists can create a phylogenetic tree that illustrates the evolutionary relationship between taxonomic categories. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding the evolution of biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits that have evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits could be either homologous or analogous. Homologous traits are similar in their evolutionary origins, while analogous traits look similar, but do not share the same ancestors. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping referred to as a clade. For example, all of the organisms that make up a clade share the trait of having amniotic egg and evolved from a common ancestor that had these eggs. The clades are then linked to form a phylogenetic branch that can determine the organisms with the closest relationship to.
Scientists make use of DNA or RNA molecular data to build a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and precise. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolution of an organism. Researchers can utilize Molecular Data to estimate the age of evolution of organisms and determine how many organisms share an ancestor common to all.
The phylogenetic relationship can be affected by a number of factors that include phenotypicplasticity. This is a kind of behaviour that can change as a result of specific environmental conditions. This can make a trait appear more resembling to one species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signals. However, this issue can be cured by the use of techniques such as cladistics that include a mix of analogous and homologous features into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics aids determine the duration and speed of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists in deciding which species to protect from extinction. Ultimately, it is the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will result in a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The fundamental concept of evolution is that organisms acquire different features over time due to their interactions with their environments. Many theories of evolution have been developed by a variety of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing slowly in accordance with its requirements, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that use or disuse of traits causes changes that can be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from a variety of fields -- including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance - came together to form the current evolutionary theory that explains how evolution happens through the variations of genes within a population and how these variants change in time as a result of natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift, mutation, gene flow and sexual selection, is a key element of modern evolutionary biology and can be mathematically explained.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have demonstrated that variations can be introduced into a species through mutation, genetic drift and reshuffling of genes in sexual reproduction, as well as by migration between populations. These processes, along with others, such as directionally-selected selection and erosion of genes (changes in frequency of genotypes over time) can result in evolution. Evolution is defined as changes in the genome over time and changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes within individuals).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology education can increase students' understanding of phylogeny and evolutionary. A recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues, for example revealed that teaching students about the evidence supporting evolution helped students accept the concept of evolution in a college biology class.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have traditionally studied evolution through looking back in the past--analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. Evolution is not a past moment; it is an ongoing process. Bacteria mutate and resist antibiotics, viruses re-invent themselves and elude new medications and 에볼루션 바카라 (Hefeiyechang.com) animals alter their behavior in response to the changing environment. The changes that result are often easy to see.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists realized that natural selection can be observed in action as well. The key is that various traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and can be passed from one generation to the next.
In the past, if a certain allele - the genetic sequence that determines color 에볼루션코리아 - appeared in a population of organisms that interbred, it might become more common than other allele. In time, this could mean that the number of black moths in a population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolutionary change when a species, such as bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988 the biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain; samples from each population are taken regularly and over 50,000 generations have now passed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate at which change occurs and the effectiveness of a population's reproduction. It also shows that evolution takes time, a fact that some people are unable to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more prevalent in areas where insecticides are used. That's because the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors individuals with resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing recognition of its importance especially in a planet shaped largely by human activity. This includes climate change, pollution, and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process will help us make better choices about the future of our planet as well as the life of its inhabitants.
