New cards
Evolutionary theory by Charles Darwin
All species are descended from ancestral species

Mechanism that drives changes in species is natural selection
2
New cards
Common ancestry
Sharing a common ancestor (jack rabbit and snowshoe hare)
3
New cards
Natural selection drives evolution due to:
Struggle for existence: tendency of species to overproduce results in direct competition between members of species

Natural variation: differences among members of same species

Role of environment: selects individuals with traits best-suited for environment
4
New cards
Darwin vs Lamarck
Darwin says heritable traits drive evolution, Lamarck says acquired traits drive evolution (traits inherited throughout lifetime rather than genetically)
5
New cards
Evidence (3) for evolutionary theory

1. fossil record
2. geographic distribution
3. comparative anatomy
6
New cards
Fossil record
Fossils are chronological; however deep they are in the Earth is a rough estimate of how long they've been there.
7
New cards
2 forms of geographic distribution
Closely related but different: Descendants of single ancestral species pass on adaptations best suited to that habitat

Distantly related but similar: descendants of different species living in similar habitats share similar adaptations
8
New cards
Structures (3) in comparative anatomy
Homologous structures: similar structures in species with common ancestor

Vestigial structures: important to ancestral species but no clear function in modern descendants (wisdom teeth, appendix)

Analogous structures: anatomically different structures with same function (insects, birds, bats all have wings)
9
New cards
Microevolution
\-       Changing of allele frequencies within a population
10
New cards
Hardy-Weinberg Principle
\-       Allele and genotype frequencies will remain constant from gen to gen in the absence of other evolutionary influences

o   No environmental differences, no reason to change so stays constant
11
New cards
Conditions of Hardy-Weinberg
\-       Large population

\-       Random mating (no sexual selection)

\-       No mutations

\-       No migration between populations

\-       All genotypes reproduce with equal success to be passed on (no selection)

Reality: Populations don’t follow these rules so microevolution occurs
12
New cards
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
\-       Monohybrid cross (Aa x Aa) create 1:2:1 genotype frequency

o   25% homozygous dominant, 50% heterozygous, 25% homozygous recessive
13
New cards
Sexual selection
\-       Form of natural selection where certain traits are favoured
14
New cards
Artificial selection
\-       Human controlled, selects desired traits to breed

\-       Drives microevolution quicker while reducing genetic variation

\-       Unfavourable traits also passed on with favourable due to multiple alleles on chromosomes
15
New cards
Gene flow
genes exchanged between populations, occurs when individuals migrate
16
New cards
Natural selection
\-       Selective pressures within environment affecting frequencies of traits

o   Directional selection: favours one end of phenotypes

o   Diversifying/disruptive selection: favours extreme ends of phenotypes

o   Stabilizing selection: favours middle phenotypes
\-       Selective pressures within environment affecting frequencies of traits

o   Directional selection: favours one end of phenotypes

o   Diversifying/disruptive selection: favours extreme ends of phenotypes

o   Stabilizing selection: favours middle phenotypes
17
New cards
Genetic drift
\-       Bottleneck effect: reduces size of gene size immensely due to natural disaster

o   Reduces genetic variation, some alleles present more frequently

\-       Founder effect

o   Colonization of habitat impacts gene pool, increases founder genes
18
New cards
Macroevolution
Biological change on large scale

* speciation/extinction
19
New cards
Speciation requirements
Offspring is viable and fertile
20
New cards
Reproductive isolation
\-       Formation of new species where members of parent species are unable to continue reproducing due to physical or behavioural barrier

\-       Over time, members of the new species will not mate with parent species (behavioural barrier)

\-       Change in geology separate different populations (canyons, colonization)
21
New cards
Barriers for reproduction (6)
\-       Hybrid infertility – offspring viable not fertile (mule)

\-       Hybrid inviability – nonviable offspring

\-       Mechanical isolation – physical incapable (brodyboena snails have different shell spirals)

\-       Behavioural isolation – different courtship (birds)

\-       Temporal – different breeding season

\-       Habitat isolation - Same geographic location, species live in different habitats (bottom vs top of lake)
22
New cards
Divergent vs convergent evolution
Divergent – different species evolve from common ancestor due to habitat differences (snowshoe hair vs jackrabbit)

Convergent – distantly-related species living in similar habitats develop similar adaptations (analogous structures like wings)
23
New cards
Gradualism vs punctuated equilibrium
Gradualism: small, constant, changes slowly over time

Punctuated: Periods of small change with times of huge change in 1-2 traits, is due to mutations in genes of few individuals

* results in rapid change within next few generations

45
New cards
Gram stain test for cell wall structure
1\.     Stain bacteria with crystal violet dye

2\.     Treat with alcohol or acetone

3\.     Stain again with red or pink dye

a.     Gram positive bacteria: will retain violet dye as peptidoglycan absorbs crystal violet dye well

b.     Gram negative bacteria: violet dye is washed out in Step 2, then absorbs pink dye in step 3, therefore has less peptidoglycan due to less absorption properties

Phylum Chordata
Mostly vertebrates; mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians

\-       General characteristics

o   Notochord: firm, flexible rod of tissue located on the dorsal side of the body which is a part of the endoskeleton (spine in humans)

o   Dorsal nerve cord: hollow tube to the notochord connected to brain (spinal chord)

* Pharyngeal pouches: small pouches of the anterior digestive tract
* Gills in aquatic chordates
* Jaws connected to inner ear, tonsils in terrestrial

o   Post-anal tail: consists of muscle tissue behind the posterior opening of the digestive tract, tail extends beyond anus

All chordates will have all aspects at some point during lifetime

New cards
Subphylum Urochordata
Non-vertebrate chordates (sea squires, tunicates)

* bodies covered by a tough covering, or **tunic**


* shoot out a stream of water when touched
* sessile, barrel-shaped, sea bottom filter feeders
* Adults DO NOT have a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, or post-anal tail

New cards
Chordate reproduction
\-       All sexual reproduction

\-       **Spawning** – fish lay eggs, fertilized externally

o   Some fish can do live birth

\-       **Oviparous**: lays eggs

* chickens, frogs

\-       **Ovoviviparous**: eggs stay in mom

* sharks, rays, snakes

\-       **Viviparous**: babies get nourishment from mom.

* Ex. Humans, cats, some fish
92
New cards
Fish
* must have gills, fins, scales
* Devionian Period - Age of Fish
* 2 chambered heart - blood is oxygenated from gills
* some fish have lungs - lungfish

Physiology

* fins help with movement
* gills
* operculum - gill covers
* swim bladder - maintains buoyancy

Homeostasis
mechanism in fish that maintains water balance

* salt water loses water
* freshwater gains water
* salmon can do both
94
New cards
Fish nervous system
o   Cerebrum – thinking, voluntary activities

o   Cerebellum - coordination and balance

o   Medulla oblongata – functions of internal organs

o   Lateral line system – sensing vibration
95
New cards
Amphibians
frogs, axolotl

\-       “double life” → lives in water then land

\-       Moist skin

\-       Metamorphosis from fish

* Bones become stronger
* Have lungs to breathe air
* Walk on land

\-       Feeding

o   Larva are herbivores with gills

o   Adult frogs – carnivores with lungs

o   Some have gills for whole life – mudpuppy

\-       Respiration

o   Double loop, 3 chambers, partially divides ventricle

\-       Reproduction

o   Lay eggs, fertilization external - **spawning**
