The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is one of the most central concepts in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those who are interested in the sciences understand evolution theory and how it is permeated throughout all fields of scientific research.
This site provides a range of resources for students, teachers as well as general readers about evolution. It includes the most 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 is a symbol of love and unity in many cultures. It has many practical applications as well, including providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
The earliest attempts to depict the world of biology focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories which were distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the sampling of various parts of living organisms or small DNA fragments, significantly increased the variety that could be included in a tree of life2. However these trees are mainly made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity remains vastly underrepresented3,4.
By avoiding the need for direct observation and experimentation, genetic techniques have allowed us to depict the Tree of Life in a much more accurate way. Particularly, 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 molecular techniques allow us to construct trees using sequenced markers, such as the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
Despite the rapid expansion of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, 에볼루션 게이밍카지노 (Thehouseloanexpert.Com) a large amount of biodiversity remains to be discovered. This is particularly relevant to microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and are typically present in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes has produced an unfinished draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a large number of archaea, bacteria and other organisms that have not yet been identified or the diversity of which is not well understood6.
The expanded Tree of Life can be used to assess the biodiversity of a particular area and determine if specific habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, from identifying the most effective medicines to combating disease to enhancing the quality of the quality of crops. The information is also beneficial in conservation efforts. It helps biologists determine the areas that are most likely to contain cryptic species that could have significant metabolic functions that could be vulnerable to anthropogenic change. Although funding to protect biodiversity are essential but the most effective way to ensure the preservation of biodiversity around the world is for more people in developing countries to be empowered with the knowledge to act locally to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) illustrates the relationship between organisms. Scientists can construct an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological similarities or differences. Phylogeny plays a crucial role in understanding biodiversity, genetics and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Finds the connections between organisms that have similar traits and evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits can be homologous, or analogous. Homologous traits are identical in their underlying evolutionary path, while analogous traits look similar but do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping called a clade. Every organism in a group have a common characteristic, for example, amniotic egg production. They all evolved from an ancestor that had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree is constructed by connecting the clades to identify the species which are the closest to each other.
Scientists make use of molecular DNA or RNA data to create a phylogenetic chart that is more accurate and precise. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism. Researchers can use Molecular Data to estimate the evolutionary age of organisms and determine how many species share the same ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships between species can be influenced by several factors, including phenotypic plasticity an aspect of behavior that changes in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar to a species than to another and obscure the phylogenetic signals. This problem can be addressed by using cladistics, which is a an amalgamation of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics aids predict the duration and rate of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists to make decisions about which species to protect from extinction. It is ultimately 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 various characteristics over time as a result of their interactions with their surroundings. Many scientists have come up with theories of evolution, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that a living thing would evolve according to its individual needs, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), who created the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested that the usage or non-use of traits can cause changes that are passed on to the
In the 1930s & 1940s, concepts from various areas, including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance, came together to form a modern synthesis of evolution theory. This defines how evolution happens through the variation of genes in a population and how these variations alter over time due to natural selection. This model, which includes mutations, genetic drift, gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that genetic variation can be introduced into a species through mutation, 에볼루션 바카라 무료 genetic drift and reshuffling of genes in sexual reproduction, as well as through the movement of populations. These processes, as well as others such as directional selection or genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of the genotype over time), can lead to evolution that is defined as changes in the genome of the species over time and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype within the individual).
Students can better understand 에볼루션 바카라사이트 the concept of phylogeny by using evolutionary thinking throughout all aspects of biology. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution boosted their understanding of evolution during a college-level course in biology.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have looked at evolution through the past--analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. But evolution isn't a thing that happened in the past. It's an ongoing process that is that is taking place in the present. Viruses reinvent themselves to avoid new antibiotics and bacteria transform to resist antibiotics. Animals alter their behavior because of a changing world. The results are usually evident.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection could be observed in action as well. The key is that different traits have different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one particular allele - the genetic sequence that defines color in a group of interbreeding organisms, it might rapidly become more common than the other alleles. In time, this could mean that the number of moths sporting black pigmentation in a population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolutionary change when the species, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has been tracking twelve populations of E.coli that descend from one strain. Samples of each population have been taken frequently and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's research has revealed that a mutation can profoundly alter the efficiency with the rate at which a population reproduces, and consequently the rate at which it changes. It also proves that evolution takes time--a fact that many are unable to accept.
Microevolution is also evident in the fact that mosquito genes that confer resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in populations where insecticides are used. This is due to the fact that the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace of evolution taking place has led to an increasing awareness of its significance in a world shaped by human activity--including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats which prevent many species from adjusting. Understanding the evolution process can help us make smarter decisions regarding the future of our planet as well as the life of its inhabitants.
