Survival of the
Fittest:
● High Fitness
Only the BEST

Traits survive

to give to the

next

generation.

● Decreases

Variation

Due to NATURAL SELECTION

Adaptations may develop (like mimicry,

camouflage, etc.) that specialize a species
for its environment.

Insecticide-resistant insects

Common Ancestry

The theory of Evolution is a possible

explanation for allllllllll the diversity of life
stating that we all have one common
ancestorBacteria

Whoa, whoa, whoa...where is the
evidence for Common Ancestry?
1. Fossil record

Variety of organisms existed at different times
Going from simple, ancient species and then more

complex species

OLDEST ON

Anatomical Homology- structural similarities

that serve different purposes.

Can you
fly????

No, but bone
structure looks

similar.

1

fossil

2

time

analogous structure

12

Multiple Choice

A ___________ structure in two different species has the same developmental and evolutionary history, but serves different functions in the two species.

Developmental Homologies- similarities in

embryonic development.

All look pretty similar!

Based on the DNA sequences shown, the unknown species is most closely related to ________.

1

Species I

2

Species II

3

Species III

Multiple Choice

Question image

The example shown of these 2 mammals incubating their offspring in a pouch provides evidence that they______.

1

belong to the same species

2

must range great distances to eat

Reproductive SuccessInfluences

Evolution

Elements affecting Reproductive success:

Genes for better traits

Help it get food, avoid prey/disease, or attract a mate

Competition for limited resources OR change like

a new disease

Higher reproduction rates= quicker evolution

Fruit Flies= hundreds

of offspring in 3-4

weeks

Genetic Drift

Change in Gene pool by chance

events.tends to population's genetic
variation.

Ex: Flood killing 95% of

worms.

WORM POP. IS

NOW LESS
DIVERSE

Gene Flow

Genes moving in..and Genes

moving out of a population.

AKA organisms moving in……and organisms

moving out.

20

Multiple Choice

A random change in gene frequency in a population is called...

1

genetic drift

2

gene flow

3

continental drift

4

genetic variation
