The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is among the most central concepts in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those who are interested in the sciences learn about the theory of evolution and how it is permeated across all areas of scientific research.
This site provides a wide range of sources for students, teachers as well as general readers about evolution. It includes the most important 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 all life. It is a symbol of love and unity in many cultures. It also has many practical applications, like providing a framework for understanding the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
The first attempts to depict the world of biology were based on categorizing organisms based on their physical and metabolic characteristics. These methods, based on the sampling of different parts of living organisms or short DNA fragments, greatly increased the variety of organisms that could be represented in the tree of life2. However the trees are mostly comprised of eukaryotes, and bacterial diversity is still largely unrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to depict the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for direct observation and experimentation. Trees can be constructed by using molecular methods, such as the small-subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been greatly expanded thanks to genome sequencing. However there is still a lot of biodiversity to be discovered. This is particularly relevant to microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and are typically found in one sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes resulted in an unfinished draft of a Tree of Life. This includes a large number of archaea, bacteria and other organisms that have not yet been isolated or the diversity of which is not thoroughly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life can be used to assess the biodiversity of a specific area and determine if specific habitats require special protection. The information is useful in many ways, including identifying new drugs, combating diseases and enhancing crops. The information is also incredibly useful for conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify areas that are likely to be home to species that are cryptic, which could perform important metabolic functions and are susceptible to the effects of human activity. While funding to protect biodiversity are essential, the best method to protect the biodiversity of the world is to equip more people in developing countries with the necessary knowledge to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny is also known as an evolutionary tree, shows the relationships between different groups of organisms. Using molecular data as well as morphological similarities and distinctions or ontogeny (the course of development of an organism), scientists can build an phylogenetic tree that demonstrates the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic groups. Phylogeny plays a crucial role in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Identifies the relationships between organisms with similar traits and evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits may be analogous, 에볼루션 바카라 체험 or homologous. Homologous characteristics are identical in their evolutionary journey. Analogous traits may look like they are, but they do not have the same ancestry. Scientists group similar traits into a grouping referred to as a clade. All organisms in a group have a common characteristic, for example, amniotic egg production. They all came from an ancestor who had these eggs. The clades are then connected to create a phylogenetic tree to identify organisms that have the closest connection to each other.
Scientists use DNA or RNA molecular information to build a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and precise. This information is more precise than morphological information and provides evidence of the evolutionary background of an organism or group. Researchers can utilize Molecular Data to calculate the evolutionary age of organisms and determine how many organisms share a common ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships between species can be influenced by several factors including phenotypic plasticity, an aspect of behavior that alters in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a trait to appear more similar to one species than to another which can obscure 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.
Additionally, phylogenetics can help determine the duration and rate at which speciation occurs. This information can assist conservation biologists in making choices about which species to protect from the threat of extinction. In the end, it's the conservation of phylogenetic diversity that will lead to an ecosystem that is balanced and complete.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme in evolution is that organisms change over time as a result of their interactions with their environment. Many scientists have developed theories of evolution, 에볼루션 슬롯게임 슬롯 (M.en.chuu.co.Kr) including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that an organism could develop according to its own needs, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested that the use or non-use of traits can lead to changes that are passed on to the
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from different fields, including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance, merged to form a contemporary evolutionary theory. This defines how evolution is triggered by the variation of genes in a population and how these variants change with time due to natural selection. This model, known as genetic drift mutation, gene flow and sexual selection, is a key element of modern evolutionary biology and is mathematically described.
Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have revealed the ways in which variation can be introduced to a species by genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and the movement between populations. These processes, along with others like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of the genotype over time) can lead to evolution, which is defined by change in the genome of the species over time, and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype within the individual).
Students can better understand 에볼루션 룰렛 바카라 체험 (click the next document) the concept of phylogeny by using evolutionary thinking throughout all areas of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for example demonstrated that teaching about the evidence supporting evolution helped students accept the concept of evolution in a college-level biology class.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution by looking back--analyzing fossils, comparing species and observing living organisms. Evolution is not a distant event; it is an ongoing process that continues to be observed today. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses reinvent themselves and elude new medications, and animals adapt their behavior to the changing climate. The resulting changes are often evident.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was also in play. The key is that different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and can be transferred from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one particular allele--the genetic sequence that defines color in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could rapidly become more common than the other alleles. In time, this could mean that the number of moths with black pigmentation in a population may increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
Observing evolutionary change in action is easier when a species has a fast generation turnover like bacteria. Since 1988 biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain. samples of each are taken regularly, and over 500.000 generations have passed.
Lenski's research has shown that mutations can drastically alter the speed at the rate at which a population reproduces, and consequently, the rate at which it evolves. It also shows that evolution takes time, a fact that some find hard to accept.
Another example of microevolution is that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides show up more often in populations where insecticides are employed. This is due to pesticides causing a selective pressure which 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 that is shaped by human activity--including climate change, pollution, and the loss of habitats that hinder many species from adjusting. Understanding evolution will help us make better decisions regarding the future of our planet, and the lives of its inhabitants.
