The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is a central concept in biology. The Academies have long been involved in helping people who are interested in science comprehend the concept of evolution and how it affects all areas of scientific research.
This site provides teachers, students and general readers with a wide range of learning resources about evolution. It includes important video clips from NOVA and WGBH's science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, represents the interconnectedness of all life. It is an emblem of love and unity across many cultures. It also has important practical applications, like providing a framework for understanding the history of species and how they react to changing environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the world of biology focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories which were distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods are based on the collection of various parts of organisms or DNA fragments, have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. However these trees are mainly composed of eukaryotes; bacterial diversity is not represented in a large way3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to represent the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for direct observation and experimentation. We can construct trees using molecular methods, such as the small-subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the dramatic growth of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a large amount of biodiversity remains to be discovered. This is especially true for microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and which are usually only present in a single sample5. A recent study of all known genomes has created a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including many bacteria and archaea that have not been isolated, 무료에볼루션 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 protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, 에볼루션카지노사이트 including finding new drugs, 무료 에볼루션 battling diseases and improving the quality of crops. This information is also useful for conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas most likely to have cryptic species, which could have important metabolic functions and are susceptible to human-induced change. Although funding to protect biodiversity are essential, ultimately the best way to preserve the world's biodiversity is for more people in developing countries to be empowered with the necessary knowledge to act locally to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny, also known as an evolutionary tree, reveals the relationships between various groups of organisms. Scientists can construct an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic categories using molecular information and morphological differences or similarities. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding the relationship between genetics, 바카라 에볼루션 biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms that share similar traits that have evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits can be either homologous or analogous. Homologous characteristics are identical in terms of their evolutionary path. Analogous traits may look like they are but they don't have the same origins. Scientists arrange similar traits into a grouping known as a Clade. For instance, all of the organisms in a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor which had these eggs. The clades then join to form a phylogenetic branch to identify organisms that have the closest connection to each other.
Scientists use DNA or RNA molecular information to create a phylogenetic chart that is more precise and detailed. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism. Researchers can use Molecular Data to determine the age of evolution of organisms and identify the number of organisms that have a common ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships between species can be influenced by several factors, including phenotypic plasticity an aspect of behavior that changes in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more like a species another, clouding the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be mitigated by using cladistics. This is a method that incorporates the combination of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics can aid in predicting the duration and rate of speciation. This information will assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to safeguard from extinction. In the end, it is the conservation of phylogenetic variety which will create an ecosystem that is balanced and complete.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms acquire different features over time based on their interactions with their environment. A variety of theories about 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 gradually according to its requirements as well as the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits causes changes that could be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from various fields, including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance - came together to form the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory that explains how evolution is triggered by the variations of genes within a population, and how those variants change in time as a result of natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift, mutation, 에볼루션 바카라 체험 gene flow, and sexual selection, is a cornerstone of the current evolutionary biology and can be mathematically described.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that variations can be introduced into a species by mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, as well as by migration between populations. These processes, along with others like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of an individual's genotype over time) can result in evolution that is defined as changes in the genome of the species over time and also by changes in phenotype over time (the expression of the genotype within the individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education could increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolutionary. In a study by Grunspan et al., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution boosted their understanding of evolution in a college-level course in biology.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution through looking back--analyzing fossils, comparing species and studying living organisms. Evolution isn't a flims moment; it is an ongoing process. Bacteria transform and resist antibiotics, viruses reinvent themselves and 바카라 에볼루션 elude new medications, and animals adapt their behavior to the changing environment. The changes that occur are often evident.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in action. The key is the fact that different traits result in the ability to survive at different rates and reproduction, and they can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if an allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour appeared in a population of organisms that interbred, it could be more common than other allele. In time, this could mean the number of black moths within a particular population could rise. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
Monitoring evolutionary changes in action is much easier when a species has a rapid turnover of its generation such as bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that are descended from one strain. The samples of each population have been taken regularly and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's research has demonstrated that mutations can alter the rate at which change occurs and the rate of a population's reproduction. It also shows evolution takes time, which is difficult for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides show up more often in populations where insecticides are used. This is due to pesticides causing an enticement that favors those who have resistant genotypes.
The speed at which evolution can take place has led to a growing awareness of its significance in a world that is shaped by human activities, including climate change, pollution, and the loss of habitats that prevent the species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can help us make better choices about the future of our planet as well as the lives of its inhabitants.
