The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is a fundamental concept in biology. The Academies have long been involved in helping people who are interested in science understand the theory of evolution and how it permeates all areas of scientific research.
This site provides students, 에볼루션 바카라 무료 teachers and general readers with a range of educational resources on 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 a symbol of love and unity in many cultures. It also has important practical uses, like providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts at depicting the world of biology focused on separating species into distinct categories that had been distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the sampling of different parts of organisms, or 에볼루션 사이트바카라 에볼루션사이트 (153.126.169.73) fragments of DNA have significantly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. However, these trees are largely composed of eukaryotes; bacterial diversity is still largely unrepresented3,4.
By avoiding the need for direct observation and experimentation, genetic techniques have enabled us to depict the Tree of Life in a much more accurate way. We can construct trees by using molecular methods such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the massive growth of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a large amount of biodiversity awaits discovery. This is especially the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate, and which are usually only found in one sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes known to date has produced a rough draft version of the Tree of Life, including a large number of archaea and bacteria 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 certain habitats require protection. The information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying new medicines to combating disease to improving the quality of crops. It is also beneficial in conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify areas that are likely to have cryptic species, which could have important metabolic functions, and could be susceptible to the effects of human activity. While funds to protect biodiversity are important, the best method to protect the world's biodiversity is to empower more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to act locally and support conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny is also known as an evolutionary tree, illustrates the relationships between different groups of organisms. Scientists can create a phylogenetic diagram that illustrates the evolution of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or similarities. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding biodiversity, genetics and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) is a method of identifying the relationships between organisms with similar traits that evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits can be analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are similar in their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits might appear like they are, but they do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping called a clade. All organisms in a group share a characteristic, for example, amniotic egg production. They all came from an ancestor who had these eggs. The clades then join to create a phylogenetic tree to identify organisms that have the closest relationship to.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular information to build a phylogenetic chart that is more accurate and precise. This data is more precise than the morphological data and gives evidence of the evolutionary background of an organism or group. The analysis of molecular data can help researchers identify the number of species who share an ancestor common to them and estimate their evolutionary age.
Phylogenetic relationships can be affected by a variety of factors such as the phenotypic plasticity. This is a kind of behavior that alters in response to particular environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar to one species than to the other, obscuring the phylogenetic signals. This problem can be addressed by using cladistics, which incorporates the combination of homologous and analogous traits in the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can aid in predicting the length and speed of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists in deciding which species to protect from extinction. In the end, it is 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 acquire different features over time as a result of 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 envisioned an organism developing slowly in accordance with its needs as well as the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or non-use of traits causes changes that can be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 에볼루션 바카라 무료 1940s, theories from various fields, such as natural selection, genetics & particulate inheritance, merged to form a contemporary synthesis of evolution theory. This explains how evolution happens through the variations in genes within the population and how these variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which incorporates genetic drift, 에볼루션바카라사이트 mutations, gene flow and sexual selection is mathematically described.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have shown that variations can be introduced into a species by genetic drift, mutation, and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through migration between populations. These processes, as well as other ones like directional selection and 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 that genotype in an individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology education can increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolutionary. A recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance revealed that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased students' understanding of evolution in a college biology course.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution by looking back--analyzing fossils, comparing species and observing living organisms. Evolution is not a past event, but an ongoing process that continues to be observed today. Bacteria evolve and 에볼루션 바카라사이트 (trade-Britanica.trade) resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and elude new medications and animals alter their behavior in response to the changing climate. The resulting changes are often evident.
It wasn't until the 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in action. The key is the fact that different traits confer the ability to survive at different rates and reproduction, and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour was present in a population of organisms that interbred, it might become more prevalent than any other allele. In time, this could mean that the number of moths sporting black pigmentation in a group may increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolutionary change when the species, like bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that descend from one strain. The samples of each population have been collected regularly and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency at which a population reproduces. It also shows evolution takes time, something that is difficult for some to accept.
Microevolution can also be seen in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more common in populations that have used insecticides. That's because the use of pesticides creates a pressure that favors individuals with resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing appreciation of its importance particularly in a world which is largely shaped by human activities. This includes pollution, climate change, and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can assist you in making better choices regarding the future of the planet and its inhabitants.
