The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is one of the most fundamental concepts in biology. The Academies are committed to helping those who are interested in the sciences comprehend the evolution theory and how it is permeated across all areas of scientific research.
This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a range of learning 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 seen in a variety of cultures and spiritual beliefs as an emblem of unity and love. It has many practical applications as well, including providing a framework for understanding the evolution of species and how they react to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts to depict the world of biology were built on categorizing organisms based on their physical and metabolic characteristics. These methods, which rely on the collection of various parts of organisms, or 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 에볼루션 바카라 사이트바카라사이트, http://stackhub.Co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=105589, direct observation and experimentation, genetic techniques have allowed us to depict the Tree of Life in a much more accurate way. Particularly, molecular methods allow us to construct trees by using sequenced markers, such as the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
Despite the dramatic growth of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a large amount of biodiversity is waiting to be discovered. This is particularly true for microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and are usually found in one sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes that are known has produced a rough draft version 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 can be used to determine the diversity of a specific area and determine if specific habitats require special protection. The information is useful in a variety of ways, including finding new drugs, battling diseases and improving the quality of crops. The information is also beneficial to conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify the areas that are most likely to contain cryptic species that could have significant metabolic functions that could be at risk of anthropogenic changes. While conservation funds are essential, the best method to preserve the world's biodiversity is to empower the people of developing nations with the knowledge they need to act locally and support conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) illustrates the relationship between different organisms. Scientists can create a phylogenetic chart that shows the evolutionary relationship of taxonomic groups based on molecular data and morphological similarities or differences. The role of phylogeny is crucial in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) is a method of identifying the relationships between organisms with similar traits that have evolved from common ancestors. These shared traits could be either homologous or analogous. Homologous traits are identical in their underlying evolutionary path and analogous traits appear similar but do not have the same ancestors. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping called a clade. Every organism in a group have a common trait, such as amniotic egg production. They all came from an ancestor that had these eggs. The clades then join to form a phylogenetic branch to determine which organisms have the closest relationship.
Scientists use DNA or RNA molecular information to create a phylogenetic chart that is more precise and 무료에볼루션 precise. This data is more precise than the morphological data and gives evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism or group. The use of molecular data lets researchers identify the number of species that have an ancestor common to them and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationship can be affected by a number of factors such as phenotypicplasticity. This is a type behaviour that can change in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a particular trait 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 is a a combination of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
Furthermore, phylogenetics may aid in predicting the duration and rate of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists in making choices about which species to save from disappearance. It is ultimately the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will result in an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms change over time due to their interactions with their environment. Many theories of evolution have been developed by a wide range of scientists, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing gradually according to its needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who designed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits causes changes that can be passed onto offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, theories from a variety of fields -- including genetics, natural selection and 에볼루션 슬롯 particulate inheritance--came together to form the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory that explains how evolution is triggered by the variation of genes within a population and how those variants change in time due to natural selection. This model, known as genetic drift mutation, gene flow, and sexual selection, is a cornerstone of the current evolutionary biology and can be mathematically explained.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have shown that variations can be introduced into a species via genetic drift, mutation, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through the movement of populations. These processes, along with other ones like directional selection and gene erosion (changes in the frequency of genotypes over time) can lead to evolution. Evolution is defined as changes in the genome over time and changes in phenotype (the expression of genotypes within individuals).
Students can better understand the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking in all areas of biology. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues. It was found that teaching students about the evidence for evolution boosted their acceptance of evolution during the course of a college biology.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have studied evolution through looking back in the past--analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. However, evolution isn't something that occurred in the past, it's an ongoing process that is that is taking place in the present. Bacteria mutate and resist antibiotics, 에볼루션카지노 viruses re-invent themselves and are able to evade new medications and animals change their behavior in response to a changing planet. The changes that occur are often visible.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection can be observed in action as well. The key is the fact that different traits result in an individual rate of survival and reproduction, and can be passed on from one generation to another.
In the past, if a certain allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour - was found in a group of organisms that interbred, it could become more prevalent than any other allele. As time passes, that could mean the number of black moths within a particular population could rise. The same is true for 에볼루션 슬롯 many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to track evolutionary change when an organism, like bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has studied twelve populations of E.coli that descend from one strain. The samples of each population have been collected regularly and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's work has demonstrated that mutations can drastically alter the efficiency with the rate at which a population reproduces, and consequently, the rate at which it evolves. It also shows evolution takes time, which is difficult for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is how mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides appear more frequently in populations where insecticides are used. This is because pesticides cause an exclusive pressure that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing awareness of its significance particularly in a world that is largely shaped by human activity. This includes climate change, pollution, and habitat loss that hinders many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make better decisions about the future of our planet, and the life of its inhabitants.
