The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is one of the most important concepts in biology. The Academies have long been involved in helping those 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 variety of learning resources on evolution. It contains important video clips from NOVA and WGBH's science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol of the interconnectedness of all life. It is an emblem of love and unity in many cultures. It also has many practical applications, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
Early attempts to represent the biological world were built on categorizing organisms based on their metabolic and physical characteristics. These methods rely on the collection of various parts of organisms or DNA fragments, have significantly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. These trees are mostly populated by eukaryotes and bacterial diversity is vastly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to visualize the Tree of Life by circumventing the need for direct observation and experimentation. We can create trees using molecular methods such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the massive growth of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a lot of biodiversity remains to be discovered. This is particularly true for microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and are usually found in one sample5. A recent analysis of all known genomes has produced a rough draft version of the Tree of Life, including numerous bacteria and archaea that are not isolated and their diversity is not fully understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life can be used to assess the biodiversity of a specific area and determine if certain habitats need special protection. This information can be utilized in a variety of ways, 에볼루션 블랙잭 from identifying new medicines to combating disease to enhancing the quality of the quality of crops. This information is also extremely beneficial for conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying the areas most likely to contain cryptic species with potentially significant metabolic functions that could be vulnerable to anthropogenic change. While funds to safeguard biodiversity are vital however, the most effective method to ensure the preservation of biodiversity around the world is for more people living in developing countries to be equipped with the knowledge to act locally to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) shows the relationships between different organisms. Utilizing molecular data, morphological similarities and differences, or ontogeny (the process of the development of an organism), 에볼루션코리아 scientists can build a phylogenetic tree which illustrates the evolution of taxonomic categories. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding biodiversity, genetics and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Determines the relationship between organisms that have similar traits and evolved from an ancestor 에볼루션코리아 with common traits. These shared traits may be analogous, or homologous. Homologous traits share their evolutionary origins and analogous traits appear similar, but do not share the identical origins. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping known as a clade. All members of a clade have a common characteristic, like amniotic egg production. They all derived from an ancestor with these eggs. A phylogenetic tree can be constructed by connecting the clades to identify the organisms that are most closely related to one another.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular data to construct a phylogenetic graph that is more precise and detailed. This data is more precise than the morphological data and provides evidence of the evolution history of an individual or group. The use of molecular data lets researchers determine the number of organisms who share the same ancestor and estimate their evolutionary age.
Phylogenetic relationships can be affected by a variety of factors that include phenotypicplasticity. This is a type behavior that changes due to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar in one species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signal. However, this issue can be solved through the use of methods such as cladistics that combine similar and 에볼루션코리아 homologous traits into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can help predict the time and pace of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to safeguard from extinction. Ultimately, it is the preservation of phylogenetic diversity that will lead to an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms acquire distinct characteristics over time based on their interactions with their surroundings. A variety of theories about evolution have been developed by a wide variety of scientists such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing slowly according to its needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits cause changes that could be passed on to offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, concepts from various fields, including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance - came together to form the current evolutionary theory synthesis which explains how evolution occurs through the variations of genes within a population and how those variants change in time as a result of natural selection. This model, which includes genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection, can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have shown the ways in which variation can be introduced to a species via genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction, 에볼루션 무료 바카라 에볼루션 바카라사이트 (https://Ombudsman-lipetsk.Ru) and even migration between populations. These processes, in conjunction with other ones like directional selection and gene erosion (changes to the frequency of genotypes over time), can lead towards evolution. Evolution is defined as changes in the genome over time as well as changes in phenotype (the expression of genotypes in an individual).
Students can better understand the concept of phylogeny by using evolutionary thinking in all areas of biology. In a recent study by Grunspan et al., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution boosted their acceptance of evolution during a college-level course in biology.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally, scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species, and studying living organisms. Evolution is not a distant event, but a process that continues today. The virus reinvents itself to avoid new medications and bacteria mutate to resist antibiotics. Animals alter their behavior in the wake of a changing environment. The changes that result are often apparent.
However, it wasn't until late-1980s that biologists realized that natural selection can be seen in action, as well. The key to this is that different traits can confer an individual rate of survival and reproduction, and can be passed down from one generation to another.
In the past, if a certain allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour was found in a group of organisms that interbred, it might become more common than any other allele. Over time, that would mean the number of black moths in the 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 track evolutionary change when an organism, like bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988 biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain; samples of each are taken regularly and more than 500.000 generations have been observed.
Lenski's research has revealed that mutations can drastically alter the efficiency with the rate at which a population reproduces, and consequently the rate at which it evolves. It also shows that evolution takes time, a fact that many are unable to accept.
Another example of microevolution is the way mosquito genes that confer resistance to pesticides show up more often in areas where insecticides are employed. This is because the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors those who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing recognition of its importance, especially in a world which is largely shaped by human activities. This includes climate change, pollution, and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make better choices about the future of our planet and the lives of its inhabitants.
