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 influences 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 is an ancient symbol that symbolizes the interconnectedness of life. It is an emblem of love and unity in many cultures. It also has practical applications, like providing a framework for understanding the history of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
The earliest attempts to depict the world of biology focused on the classification of species into distinct categories that had been identified by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods rely on the sampling of different parts of organisms or short DNA fragments have significantly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. However the trees are mostly composed of eukaryotes; bacterial diversity is not represented in a large way3,4.
By avoiding the necessity for direct observation and experimentation, genetic techniques have enabled us to represent the Tree of Life in a more precise way. Particularly, molecular techniques enable us to create trees by using sequenced markers such as the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
The Tree of Life has been dramatically expanded through genome sequencing. However, there is still much biodiversity to be discovered. This is especially the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate, and 에볼루션 슬롯 are typically found in one sample5. A recent study of all genomes that are known has created a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including numerous bacteria and archaea that have not been isolated and their diversity is not fully understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life is particularly useful in assessing the diversity of an area, assisting to determine if specific habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, including finding new drugs, 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 사이트 (myrick-Pihl-2.Blogbright.net) battling diseases and improving the quality of crops. It is also useful for conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify areas most likely to be home to species that are cryptic, which could have important metabolic functions and are susceptible to changes caused by humans. Although funding to protect biodiversity are essential but the most effective way to protect the world's biodiversity is for more people living in developing countries to be equipped with the knowledge to take action locally to encourage conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between organisms. Scientists can construct a phylogenetic chart that shows the evolution of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or similarities. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding evolution, biodiversity and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Finds the connections between organisms that have similar traits and evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits could be analogous, or homologous. Homologous characteristics are identical in terms of their evolutionary path. Analogous traits may look like they are however they do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping referred to as a Clade. All organisms in a group share a characteristic, like amniotic egg production. They all came from an ancestor who had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree is then built by connecting the clades to identify the species which are the closest to each other.
For a more detailed and precise phylogenetic tree scientists rely on molecular information from DNA or RNA to establish the relationships between organisms. This information is more precise and gives evidence of the evolution of an organism. Researchers can utilize Molecular Data to estimate the evolutionary age of organisms and determine the number of organisms that share the same 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 similar in one species than other species, which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. This issue can be cured by using cladistics, which incorporates a combination of homologous and analogous traits in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics helps determine the duration and rate at which speciation takes place. This information can help conservation biologists decide which species to protect from extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will create an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms change over time as a result of their interactions with their environment. Many scientists have proposed theories of evolution, such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274), who believed that an organism would develop according to its own needs as well as the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern taxonomy system that is hierarchical as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested that the use or non-use of certain traits can result in changes that are passed on to the next generation.
In the 1930s and 1940s, concepts from various fields, including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance--came together to create the modern evolutionary theory which explains how evolution occurs through the variations of genes within a population and how these variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which includes genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that genetic variation can be introduced into a species through mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, and also through the movement of populations. These processes, 에볼루션 슬롯게임 along with others such as directional selection or genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of the genotype over time), can lead to evolution, which is defined by changes in the genome of the species over time, and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of the genotype in the individual).
Students can better understand phylogeny by incorporating evolutionary thinking in all aspects of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for example demonstrated that teaching about the evidence supporting evolution increased students' acceptance of evolution in a college biology course.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally, scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species and observing living organisms. Evolution is not a past event; it is a process that continues today. The virus reinvents itself to avoid new drugs and bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics. Animals adapt their behavior as a result of a changing world. The results are often evident.
It wasn't until the 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in play. The key to this is that different traits result in an individual rate of survival and reproduction, and they can be passed on from generation to generation.
In the past, if one particular allele--the genetic sequence that determines coloration--appeared in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could quickly become more prevalent than the other alleles. As time passes, this could mean that the number of moths with black pigmentation may increase. 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 fast generation turnover, 에볼루션 사이트 as with bacteria. 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 passed.
Lenski's work has demonstrated that mutations can drastically alter the rate at which a population reproduces--and so, the rate at which it alters. It also shows that evolution takes time, a fact that many find difficult to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in areas where insecticides have been used. Pesticides create an enticement that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace at which evolution takes place has led to an increasing appreciation of its importance in a world shaped by human activity, including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats that hinder many species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can aid you in making better decisions about the future of our planet and its inhabitants.
