17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Macroevolution refers to large-scale evolutionary patterns and processes that occur over long periods of time. Slide 1 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Macroevolution Six important topics in macroevolution are: • extinction • adaptive radiation • convergent evolution • coevolution • punctuated equilibrium • changes in developmental genes Slide 2 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Extinction More than 99% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct. Slide 3 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Extinction What effects have mass extinctions had on the history of life? Mass extinctions have: • provided ecological opportunities for organisms that survived • resulted in bursts of evolution that produced many new species Slide 4 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Adaptive Radiation Adaptive radiation is the process by which a single species or a small group of species evolves into several different forms that live in different ways. Slide 5 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Convergent Evolution The process by which unrelated organisms come to resemble one another is called convergent evolution. Results in analogous structures. Slide 8 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Coevolution The process by which two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time is called coevolution. Slide 9 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Punctuated Equilibrium Darwin felt that biological change was slow and steady, an idea known as gradualism. Slide 10 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
17 -4 Patterns of Evolution Punctuated Equilibrium Punctuated equilibrium is a pattern of evolution in which long stable periods are interrupted by brief periods of more rapid change. Slide 11 of 25 End Show

17 -4 Darwin's species of finches were very similar but different in beak size and feeding habits. This is an example of a. convergent evolution. b. coevolution. c. adaptive radiation. d. stabilizing selection. Slide 15 of 25 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17 -4 A slow steady change in a particular line of descent is called a. coevolution. b. gradualism. c. punctuated equilibrium. d. convergent evolution. Slide 16 of 25 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17 -4 Master control genes are called a. hox genes. b. developmental genes. c. embryonic genes. d. regulatory genes. Slide 17 of 25 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17 -4 Some evidence suggests that species do not change much over long periods of time and then undergo relatively short periods of rapid speciation. This kind of change is called a. coevolution. b. genetic equilibrium. c. adaptive radiation. d. punctuated equilibrium. Slide 18 of 25 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
17 -4 Fossil evidence shows that mass extinctions a. ended the existence of many species in a short period of time. b. occurred mainly when the dinosaurs disappeared. c. require an asteroid strike to occur. d. caused convergent evolution among animals.
