27. 1 Origin of Life • Age of Planet Earth - 4. 6 billion years • Oldest fossils - 3. 5 billion years • Possible Formation of the First Cells – Inorganic molecules reacted to form organic molecules – Organic molecules polymerized to become macromolecules – Plasma membrane formed – Protocells formed
Origin of the First Cell(s)
27. 1 Origin of Life • Evolution of Small Organic Molecules – Early life may have arose near the surface of the ocean – Miller and Urey Experiment (1953) • Formation of small organic molecules
27. 1 Origin of Life • Evolution of Small Organic Molecules – Some scientists hypothesize life began in hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean
27. 1 Origin of Life • Macromolecules – RNA-first Hypothesis • In some instances RNA can function as both a substrate and an enzyme • If RNA evolved first it could function as both genes and enzymes – Protein-first Hypothesis • Amino acids can form polypeptides when exposed to dry heat • Form microspheres when introduced back into water
27. 1 Origin of Life • Macromolecules – Cairnes-Smith hypothesis • Clay attracts small organic molecules and also contains iron and zinc • Iron and zinc may have served as inorganic catalysts for polypeptide formation • Clay also collects energy from radioactive decay and releases it under specific environmental conditions – Could have served as energy source for polymerization
27. 1 Origin of Life • The Protocell – Aleksandr Oparin’s experiments • Under specific conditions of p. H, ionic composition, and temperature concentrated mixtures of macromolecules form coacervates – Coacervate droplets absorb and incorporate many substances – May form a semi permeable boundary around droplet – In lipid environment, phospholipids are known to automatically form liposomes-may be the way plasma membranes first formed
27. 1 Origin of Life • The Heterotroph Hypothesis – Nutrition was plentiful in the ocean – Protocells were most likely heterotrophs • Implies that heterotrophs preceded autotrophs – Protocells probably used preformed ATP at first • Natural selection favored those that could extract ATP from carbohydrates • Fermentative process because oxygen was not available
27. 1 Origin of Life • The True Cell – Membrane-bounded structure that can produce proteins (enzymes) that allow DNA replication • DNA RNA Protein – RNA-first hypothesis suggests that RNA developed before DNA, so first true cell would have had RNA genes • Some viruses have RNA genes • Reverse transcriptase produces DNA from RNA • Suggests a mechanism as to how cells evolved to have DNA genes
27. 1 Origin of Life • The True Cell – Protein-first hypothesis suggest proteins evolved first • Complex enzymatic processes may have been necessary formation of DNA and RNA • Enzymes may have been needed to produce nucleotides and nucleic acids – The Cairnes-Smith hypothesis suggests RNA and protein evolved at the same time • RNA genes could replicate because proteins were already present to catalyze the reactions • But this supposes that two unlikely spontaneous processes would occur at once- formation of RNA and formation of protein
27. 1 Origin of Life • The True Cell – Once protocells had genes that could replicate, they became cells capable of reproducing, and biological evolution began.
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Evolution is the changes that have occurred in living organisms since the beginning of life. • Evolution is defined as “common descent” – Descent with modification
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Fossil Evidence – Hard body parts are preserved in most cases – Often embedded in sedimentary rock – Deposited in layers called strata • Each stratum is older than the one above and younger than the one below – Transitional fossils • Especially significant • Represent evolutionary links
Transitional Fossils
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Geological Timescale – History of Earth is divided into eras, then periods, and then epochs – Based on dating of fossil evidence • Relative Dating Method – Determines the relative order of fossils and strata but not the actual date • Absolute Method– Radioactive dating techniques are used to assign an actual date to a fossil – Technique is based on the half-life of radioactive isotopes
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Mass Extinctions – Large numbers of species become extinct in a short period of time • Remaining species may spread out and fill habitats left vacant – Five Major Extinctions have occurred • Earth may currently be experiencing a sixth mass extinction due to human activities
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Biogeographical Evidence – Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species throughout the world – The Earth has six biogeographical regions • Each has its own distinctive mix of species – Barriers prevented evolving species from migrating to other regions – Continental Drift • The positions of continents and oceans has shifted through time • The distribution of fossils and existing species allows us to determine approximate timeline
Continental Drift
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Anatomical Evidence – Common descent offers explanation for anatomical similarities • Homologous Structures – Same function and same basic structure, indicating a common ancestor – Ex: human arm and whale forelimb • Analogous Structures – Same basic function but different origins – Ex: wing of bird and wing of an insect • Vestigial Structures – Anatomical structures fully functional in one group and reduced, nonfunctional in another – Ex: Modern whales have a pelvic girdle and hind leg bones
Homologous Structures (insert figure 27. 8)
Homology Extends to Embryological Development
27. 2 Evidence of Evolution • Biochemical Evidence – All organisms use same basic biochemical molecules • DNA • ATP • Identical or nearly identical enzymes – Many developmental genes are shared – Degree of similarity between DNA base sequences and amino acid sequences indicates the degree of relatedness
Significance of Biochemical Differences
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Evolution occurs at the population level – Genetic changes occur within a population – Microevolution: A change in gene frequencies within a population over time.
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Population Genetics – Population- all members of a species occupying a particular area at the same time – Gene pool- the sum total of alleles of all genes in a population – Hardy and Weinberg used the binomial equation p 2+2 pq+q 2 to calculate the genotype and allele frequencies in a population
Calculating Gene Pool Frequencies Using the Hardy-Weinberg Equation
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • The data from the previous graphic shows that the next generation will have exactly the same ratio of genotypes as before:
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • The Hardy-Weinberg Principle – Allele frequencies in a gene pool will remain at equilibrium, thus constant, in each generation of a large sexually reproducing population as long as the following five conditions are met • • • No mutations No genetic drift No gene flow Random mating No selection – In real life these conditions are rarely met – Hardy-Weinberg law gives us a baseline by which to access whether or not evolution has occurred • Any change in allele frequencies indicates evolution
Microevolution
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Five Agents of Evolutionary Change – Mutations • Only source of new alleles in a population • Can be an adaptive variation – Genetic Drift • Change in allele frequencies due to chance • Two main mechanisms – Founder Effect: a few individuals found a colony and their collective genes represent only a fraction of the original gene pool – Bottleneck Effect: population is subjected to near extinction by a disaster and so only a few genotypes contribute to next generation
Genetic Drift
Founder Effect
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Five Agents of Evolutionary Change – Gene Flow • Movement of alleles between populations • Keeps the gene pools of two or more populations similar – Nonrandom Mating • Occurs when individuals pair up according to phenotype or genotype • Inbreeding is an example – increases frequency of recessive abnormalities – Natural Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Natural Selection – Gene Flow • Movement of alleles between populations • Keeps the gene pools of two or more populations similar – Nonrandom Mating • Occurs when individuals pair up according to phenotype or genotype • Inbreeding is an example – increases frequency of recessive abnormalities – Natural Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Natural Selection • Process by which populations adapt to their environment • Charles Darwin explained evolution through natural selection • Evolution by natural selection requires the following – Variation: members of a population differ – Inheritance: differences are inheritable – Overproduction: populations produce more offspring than the environment can support (struggle for existence) – Differential Reproductive Success: better adapted individuals survive to reproduce more offspring
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Natural Selection – Fitness: measured by the number of fertile offspring produced by an individual • Variations that can contribute to fitness can arise from – Mutation – Crossing over – Independent assortment – Most traits on which natural selection acts are controlled by polygenic inheritance – Range of phenotypes which follows a bell-shaped curve
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Natural Selection – Three Main Types of Natural Selection • Stabilizing Selection • Directional Selection • Disruptive Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Stabilizing Selection – Occurs when an intermediate, or average, phenotype is favored – Improves adaptation of population to a stable environment – Extreme phenotypes are selected against
Stabilizing Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Directional Selection – One extreme phenotype is favored – Distribution curve shifts in that direction – Can occur when population is adjusting to a changing environment
Directional Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Disruptive Selection – Two or more extreme phenotypes are selected
Disruptive Selection
27. 3 The Process of Evolution • Maintenance of Variation – Deleterious alleles sometimes are maintained in a population
27. 4 Speciation • Species: Can be described as a group of subpopulations that are capable of interbreeding and are isolated reproductively from other species.
27. 4 Speciation
27. 4 Speciation • The Process of Speciation – Occurs when one species give rise to two species • Occurs when reproductive isolation develops – Allopatric Speciation: geographical barriers separate a population into two groups • Premating and then postmating isolating mechanisms occur – Sympatric Speciation: occurs without geographical barriers • Ex: Plants- multiplication of chromosome number in one plant may prevent it from successfully reproducing with others of its kind. – Self-reproduction can maintain a new species
Allopatric Speciation
27. 4 Speciation • Adaptive Radiation – A specific type of speciation which gives rise to many new species – Galapagos Islands finches- studied by Darwin • Example of adaptive radiation • Mainland finches migrated to one of the islands – Reproduced and eventually spread to all the islands – Subjected to different environmental selection pressures • Gave rise to many species of finches which differ primarily in beak shape – Adapted to allow use of different food sources
The Galapagos Finches
27. 4 Speciation • The Pace of Speciation – Phyletic Gradualism • Change is slow but steady before and after a divergence – Explains why so few transitional fossils are found – Reproductive isolation cannot be detected in fossils – Punctuated Equilibrium • Long periods of stasis followed by rapid speciation – Occurs relatively rapidly – Also can explain lack of transitional fossils » Rapid development of changes does not result in recognizable transitional links
Phyletic Gradualism Compared to Punctuated Equilibrium
27. 5 Classification – Assignment of species to a hierarchy of categories – From general to specific these are: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species • Should reflect phylogeny – Species within a genus are more closely related than those in different genera for example
Five Kingdom System of Classification
Three Domain System Based Upon r. RNA
27. 5 Classification • Phylogenetics – Cladistics • Clad-portion of a cladogram – Contains a common ancestor and all descendant species – All organisms in a clad exhibit the same characteristic – Arranged with the least amount of branching possible – Traditionalists • Also consider descent from a common ancestor – But include consideration of amount of evolutionary change when grouping organisms
