The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is a key 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 exploration.
This site provides teachers, students 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 represents the interconnectedness of all life. It appears in many cultures and spiritual beliefs as a symbol of unity and love. It also has important practical applications, like providing a framework for understanding the history of species and how they respond to changes in the environment.
Early approaches to depicting the world of biology focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories that had been distinguished by physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which are based on the sampling of different parts of organisms, or fragments of DNA have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. These trees are mostly populated of eukaryotes, while the diversity of bacterial species is greatly underrepresented3,4.
In avoiding the necessity of direct experimentation and observation genetic techniques have made it possible to depict the Tree of Life in a more precise way. In particular, molecular methods allow us to build trees using sequenced markers, such as the small subunit ribosomal RNA 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 the case for 에볼루션 슬롯게임에볼루션 바카라 체험에볼루션 사이트 - image source, microorganisms which 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 wide range of bacteria, archaea and other organisms that have not yet been identified or whose diversity has not been well understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life can be used to evaluate the biodiversity of a particular area and determine if particular habitats require special protection. The information can be used in a variety of ways, from identifying the most effective treatments to fight disease to improving crop yields. This information is also extremely beneficial to conservation efforts. It helps biologists determine those areas that are most likely contain cryptic species that could have significant metabolic functions that could be vulnerable to anthropogenic change. While conservation funds are essential, the best method to protect the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing nations with the necessary knowledge to act locally and support conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny is also known as an evolutionary tree, shows the connections 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 build an phylogenetic tree that demonstrates the evolution of taxonomic categories. Phylogeny plays a crucial role in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) is a method of identifying the relationships between organisms that share similar traits that evolved from common ancestors. These shared traits could be analogous, or homologous. Homologous characteristics are identical in terms of their evolutionary journey. Analogous traits might appear like they are however they do not share the same origins. Scientists put similar traits into a grouping referred to as a the clade. All organisms in a group share a trait, such as amniotic egg production. They all evolved from an ancestor with these eggs. The clades are then linked to form a phylogenetic branch to determine the organisms with the closest relationship to.
For a more detailed and accurate phylogenetic tree, scientists rely on molecular information from DNA or 에볼루션바카라사이트 RNA to establish the relationships between organisms. This data is more precise than morphological information and provides evidence of the evolutionary background of an organism or group. The analysis of molecular data can help researchers determine the number of organisms who share an ancestor common to them and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationships between species are influenced by many factors, including phenotypic plasticity a kind of behavior that alters in response to unique environmental conditions. This can make a trait appear more resembling to one species than another and obscure the phylogenetic signals. This problem can be mitigated by using cladistics, which incorporates the combination of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can aid in predicting the time and pace of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists to decide the species they should safeguard 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 fundamental concept of evolution is that organisms develop distinct characteristics over time due to their interactions with their environments. Many theories of evolution have been developed by a wide range of scientists such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing gradually according to its needs and needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or non-use of traits cause changes that can be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, theories from various areas, including genetics, 에볼루션사이트 natural selection, and 에볼루션 무료체험 particulate inheritance, were brought together to form a modern theorizing of evolution. This describes how evolution is triggered by the variation of genes in the population, and how these variations alter over time due to natural selection. This model, which includes mutations, genetic drift in gene flow, and sexual selection can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that variation can be introduced into a species via mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through the movement of populations. These processes, in conjunction with others, such as directional selection and gene erosion (changes in the frequency of genotypes over time) can result in evolution. Evolution is defined as changes in the genome over time as well as changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes in an individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology education can increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolutionary. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan and co., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their understanding of evolution during an undergraduate biology course.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution by looking back--analyzing fossils, comparing species, and observing living organisms. But evolution isn't a thing that occurred in the past, it's an ongoing process, taking place in the present. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and escape new drugs and animals change their behavior in response to a changing planet. The changes that occur are often apparent.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in action. The key to this is that different traits result in a different rate of survival and reproduction, and can be passed down from one generation to another.
In the past, if one particular allele, the genetic sequence that controls coloration - was present in a population of interbreeding species, it could quickly become more common than other alleles. As time passes, that could mean that the number of black moths in the 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 observe evolutionary change when an organism, like bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988 biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. coli that descended from a single strain; samples of each population are taken regularly and over 50,000 generations have now passed.
Lenski's work has demonstrated that a mutation can dramatically alter the efficiency with which a population reproduces and, consequently the rate at which it evolves. It also shows that evolution takes time, something that is hard for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is how mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides show up more often in populations in which insecticides are utilized. This is because pesticides cause a selective pressure which favors those who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a greater recognition of its importance particularly in a world 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 decisions about the future of our planet, and the life of its inhabitants.
