WHAT IS THE EVOLUTION

Evolution is theory that life arose by natural processes

WHAT IS THE EVOLUTION Evolution is theory that life arose by natural
at an early stage of the earth’s history and that complex organism developed from simple organisms by a process of gradual change.

DARWIN’S THEORY (DARWINISM)

Darwin’s theory proposes that in struggles the favorable variation will

DARWIN’S THEORY (DARWINISM) Darwin’s theory proposes that in struggles the favorable variation
tend to be preserved and unfavorable ones eliminated.
This will result in adaptation of species to the environment to the point that it will cause the origin of a new species.

EVOLUTION FACTORS

Overproduction: each species produces more offspring than will survive tl maturity.
Variation:

EVOLUTION FACTORS Overproduction: each species produces more offspring than will survive tl
genetic variation exist between these offsprings.
Competition: competition occurs between these offsprings for the resources needed for life. i.e: food, space, and habitat.

Слайд 5

SURVIVAL

Survival of the offsprings with the most favorable combinationcof genetic characterstics are

SURVIVAL Survival of the offsprings with the most favorable combinationcof genetic characterstics
most likely to survive and reproduce, passing those characterstics onto the next generation. Over time, changes accumulate in the gene pool of population and may cause a new species to evolve.

THE SYNTHETIC THEORY OF EVOLUTION

The synthetic theory of evolution is a combination

THE SYNTHETIC THEORY OF EVOLUTION The synthetic theory of evolution is a
of Darwin’s theory and mendelian genetics.
This theory explains Darwin’s observation of variation among offspring in terms of mutation and recombination.

ORGANIC EVOLUTION

Organic evolution states that the present complex animals and plants have

ORGANIC EVOLUTION Organic evolution states that the present complex animals and plants
been produced in the course of ages by a process of gradual change in earlier and simpler form of life.
According to this view the unicellular organisms were the first to appear in the world. Some them gave rise to multicellular organisms.

EVIDENCE OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION

Many types of evidence support the doctrine of organic

EVIDENCE OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION Many types of evidence support the doctrine of
evolution.
These are: morphological and anatomical, embryological, palaentological, biochemical.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE

The aspect of morphology and anatomy, which provide evidence

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE The aspect of morphology and anatomy, which provide
for evolution are body organization, vertebrate organs, homologous organs, analogous organs, connecting links, vestigial organs and atavism.

Слайд 10

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE

Homologous organs have basic structure of similarities, even though

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE Homologous organs have basic structure of similarities, even
the organ maybe used in different ways. Homologous organs indicate evolutionary ties between the organisms posessing them
Analogous organs have similar functions but are not homologous and do not indicate close evolutionary ties.
Occasional presence of vestigal organsis to be expected as an ancestral species adapts in different modes of life amd evoloves into new species.

Слайд 11

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE

Example of homologous organs are the forelimbs of frog, man, and the

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE Example of homologous organs are the forelimbs of
flippers of the whale.
An example of an analogous trait would be the wings of insects, bats and birds.
Examples of vestigial structures include the human appendix, the pelvic bone of a snake, and the wings of flightless birds.

MIMICRY

Mimicry, which increases the fitness of an organsim for a particular environment,

MIMICRY Mimicry, which increases the fitness of an organsim for a particular
provides evidence of evolution.
In batesian mimicry, a harmless or edible species (the mimic) has evolved to resemble another species (the model) that is dangerous in some way. Predators will avoid the mimic as well as the model.
In mullerian mimicry, several different species-all of which are poisonous, harmful, or distasteful- have evolved to resemble one another. Predators easily learn to avoid their common warning coloration.

Слайд 13

MIMICRY

An example of Batesian mimicry is the poisonous coral snake and the king snake,

MIMICRY An example of Batesian mimicry is the poisonous coral snake and
which is the mimic.
many snakes share the same auditory warning signals, forming an auditory Müllerian mimicry ring

Слайд 14

EMBRYOLOGICAL EVIDENCE

The aspect of embryology which support the doctrine are similar to

EMBRYOLOGICAL EVIDENCE The aspect of embryology which support the doctrine are similar
early development, resemblance among vertebrate embryos, recapitulation theory, and temporary nonfunctional embryonic structures and development of organs.

Слайд 15

EMBRYO LOGICAL EVIDENCE

The embryos of related animals are more similar than the

EMBRYO LOGICAL EVIDENCE The embryos of related animals are more similar than
adults.
The accumulation of genetic changes since organisms diverged in evolution modifies the pattern of development in higher vertebrate embryos.

Слайд 16

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL EVIDENCE

Areas that have been separated from the rest of the world

BIOGEOGRAPHICAL EVIDENCE Areas that have been separated from the rest of the
for a long time have organisms specific to those areas.
Each species originated only once (at its center of origin).
From its centre of origin each species spread out until halted by a barrier of some kind.

Слайд 17

PALEONTOLOGICAL EVIDENCE

Paleontology is the study of past life based on the fossil

PALEONTOLOGICAL EVIDENCE Paleontology is the study of past life based on the
record. The fossils are petrified remains or impressions of the ancients organisms preserved by natural means in rocks or other media like amber, ice, volcanic ash, etc.

BIOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE

Animals show relationships in biochemical reactions. The enzymes are essentially alike

BIOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE Animals show relationships in biochemical reactions. The enzymes are essentially
in their nature and action in most animals (trypsin is found in many animals from protozoan to man). This shows that all animals are realted to one another.

Слайд 19

BIOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE

Blood sera of closely related vertebrates are more similar than sera

BIOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE Blood sera of closely related vertebrates are more similar than
of distantly related vertebrates.
The sequence of amino acids in common proteins such as cytochrome C or haemoglobin reveals greater similarities in close related species.
A greater proportion of the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is identical in closely related organisms.
The universality of the genetic code is further evidence that all life is related.
