Question  |
Answer |
when and why poeple started explaining things by evolution start learning
|
|
It changed in 17th century - due to development of knowledge, possibility of traveling to foreign lands
|
|
|
example of structural smiliarities between species start learning
|
|
five digits on each had and foot in primates; why do we walk on two legs etc
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
Bones from older geological strata differ from those in more recent strata -> change in organic structure over time
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
Similarities in embryological development development across different species, even dissimilar ones
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
18-19th century; He noticed that species aren't static, that there are some similarities in species
|
|
|
2 major causes of species change in lamarck's theory start learning
|
|
1. Natural tendency for each species to progress toward a higher form 2. Inheritance of acquired characteristc (black will have black child)
|
|
|
Lamarck's mechanism for change: start learning
|
|
Believed animals must struggle to survive, leading to the secretion of fluid by nerves. This fluid was thought to enlarge the organs involved in the struggle
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
He developed the theory of evolution, proposing that all living things share a common ancestor and change through natural selection Darwin figured out that giraffe's neck became longer because those with longer necks survived better. So there were no fluids, just genetics

|
THE DIFFERENTIAL SURVIAL AND REPRODUCTION OF INDYVIDUALS DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN PHENOTYPE Favourable variations persist, unfavorable ones decline. Repeated over generations, this process lead to the development of new adaptations
|
|
|
• 3 essential concepts: (so that natural selection could exist, there need to be): start learning
|
|
1. Variation 2. Inheritance 3. Differential reproductive success
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
Diversity of traits within population
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
The transmission of certain traits from parents to offspring
|
|
|
Differential reproductive success start learning
|
|
a. The uneven ability of individuals with specific traits to survive and produce offspring, influencing evolutionary change
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
sometimes sexes differ significantly in size and structure
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
the preference by one sex for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex
|
|
|
Two primary means by which sexual selection operates: start learning
|
|
1. Intersexual selection 2. Intersexual competition
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
one sex displays a certain trait or behaviour with the goal of attracting and mating with the opposite sex (mantis)
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
occurs between members of the same sex. They compete for the opportunity to mate with the opposite sex (lions)
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
random changes facilitated by processes like mutations, founder effect, genetic bottlenecks
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
random hereditary changes in DNA
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
A small population establishes a new colony, and the genetic makeup of the founders differs from the original population (chitas)
|
|
|
|
start learning
|
|
Population shrinkage due to random events like earthquakes, results in survivors carrying only a subset of the original population's genes
