The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is one of the most central concepts in biology. The Academies have been active for a long time in helping people who are interested in science comprehend the theory of evolution and how it permeates every area of scientific inquiry.
This site provides teachers, students and general readers with a wide range of educational resources on evolution. It includes key video clip from NOVA and 에볼루션 카지노 WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, represents the interconnectedness of all life. It appears in many cultures and spiritual beliefs as an emblem of unity and love. It also has important practical applications, such as providing a framework to understand the history of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the world of biology focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories which were distinguished by physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which depend on the sampling of different parts of organisms or fragments of DNA, have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. The trees are mostly composed by eukaryotes and the diversity of bacterial species is greatly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have significantly expanded our ability to visualize the Tree of Life by circumventing the need for direct observation and experimentation. In particular, molecular methods allow us to build trees by using sequenced markers such as the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.
The Tree of Life has been dramatically expanded through genome sequencing. However, there is still much biodiversity to be discovered. This is especially true for microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and are usually found in one sample5. Recent analysis of all genomes resulted in an unfinished draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a large number of archaea, 에볼루션 카지노 사이트 bacteria and other organisms that haven't yet been isolated, or 에볼루션 바카라 whose diversity has not been thoroughly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life is particularly beneficial in assessing the biodiversity of an area, assisting to determine whether specific habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying the most effective medicines to combating disease to improving crop yields. The information is also useful for conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify those areas that are most likely contain cryptic species that could have significant metabolic functions that could be at risk from anthropogenic change. While funding to protect biodiversity are important, the best way to conserve the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny, also called an evolutionary tree, reveals the connections between various groups of organisms. Scientists can create an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolutionary relationship of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological similarities or differences. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Identifies the relationships between organisms with similar traits and evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits could be either analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are similar in their underlying evolutionary path, while analogous traits look similar, but do not share the same origins. Scientists group similar traits into a grouping known as a Clade. For instance, all the organisms that make up a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic eggs and evolved from a common ancestor who had eggs. A phylogenetic tree is constructed by connecting clades to identify the organisms that are most closely related to one another.
Scientists use DNA or RNA molecular information to construct a phylogenetic graph that is more precise and detailed. This data is more precise than the morphological data and gives evidence of the evolutionary history of an individual or group. Researchers can use Molecular Data to estimate the age of evolution of living organisms and discover how many organisms share the same ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships between species can be influenced by several factors including phenotypic plasticity, a kind of behavior that alters in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more resembling to one species than another and obscure the phylogenetic signals. However, this problem can be cured by the use of techniques such as cladistics which incorporate a combination of homologous and analogous features into the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics helps predict the duration and rate at which speciation occurs. This information can aid conservation biologists to make decisions about which species they should protect from extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity that will lead to a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme of evolution is that organisms acquire distinct characteristics over time due to their interactions with their environment. Several theories of evolutionary change have been developed by a wide variety of scientists, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who proposed that a living organism develop gradually according to its requirements 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 use or disuse of traits can cause changes that could be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, theories from a variety of fields--including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance - came together to create the modern evolutionary theory, which defines how evolution happens through the variations of genes within a population and how those variants change in time as a result of natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift, mutation, gene flow, and sexual selection, is a key element of modern evolutionary biology and can be mathematically described.
Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have demonstrated how variation can be introduced to a species via genetic drift, mutations or reshuffling of genes in sexual reproduction, and 무료에볼루션 even migration between populations. These processes, as well as other ones like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of a genotype over time), can lead to evolution, which is defined by change in the genome of the species over time, and also by changes in phenotype as time passes (the expression of the genotype in an individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education could increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolution. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance demonstrated that teaching about the evidence that supports evolution increased students' acceptance of evolution in a college-level biology class.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally, 에볼루션바카라 scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species and observing living organisms. Evolution is not a distant event, but an ongoing process. Bacteria transform and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and escape new drugs and animals change their behavior to the changing environment. The changes that result are often evident.
But it wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection can be observed in action as well. The main reason is that different traits result in an individual rate of survival and reproduction, and can be passed down from one generation to another.
In the past, if an allele - the genetic sequence that determines color - was present in a population of organisms that interbred, it might become more prevalent than any other allele. Over time, that would mean that the number of black moths in a 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 see evolutionary change when the species, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988, biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. coli that descended from a single strain; samples of each are taken regularly and over fifty thousand 에볼루션바카라 generations have been observed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency at which a population reproduces. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time, a fact that is hard for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is how mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides appear more frequently in areas where insecticides are employed. This is because the use of pesticides causes a selective pressure that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace at which evolution takes place has led to an increasing awareness of its significance in a world that is shaped by human activities, including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats that prevent the species from adapting. Understanding evolution will help us make better decisions regarding the future of our planet and the lives of its inhabitants.
