WHAT ARE -1. ARE THE 2 THEORIES OF ORIGIN of LIFE +2. THEORIES on HOW LIFE BEGAN PP 380 -382 BL Theory 1. Spontaneous Generation p 380 =life came from non-living things. Theory 1. was disproved or refuted by (i) Scientist, Redi meat expt. which showed that live maggots came from live flies and by (ii) Scientists, Spallanza + Pasteur who proved that microorganisms in the container did NOT cause organisms to grow. Theory 2 -Biogenesis-The above resulted in disapproval of Theory 1 and now Biogenesis theory-accepted = life came from life. Ideas on How did life begin…below is all about how Biogenesis began A. Scientist –Oparin -hypothesized that on earth Life began in ocean with-lack of O 2. with H 2 O, CO 2, water vapor, nitrogen, ammonia (all inorganic)combine with energy ex. lightning or sun Organic molecules like amino acids proteins, DNA +RNA all mixed up called primordial soup B. Scientists- Miller +Urey tested this hypothesis above pp 382 In their expt. they combined H 2 O, CO 2, N 2, ammonia with electric current for energy. After a week, sugars amino acids + proteins formed=organic molecules=chemical evolution C. Scientist Fox -Proved that these organic molecules join to give the first cells called protocells which are prokaroytic, heterotrophic, anaerobic + carries out some cell activities. D. Then the endosymbiotic theory was proposed- which says that eukaryotic cells evolve from the prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotes live with prokaryotes until they could separate +live independently. E. Cell Theory -Today we have the Cell Theory 1. The cell is the basic structural +functional unit of life. https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=FGn. S-Xk 0 Zq. U 2. All organisms are made up of cells. 3. Cells come from pre-existing cells.

DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 460 -465 Red *Darwin’s theory of evolution –Says : *natural selection (NS) –or environment selects organisms survive because they have an advantage afforded by individual variations in population =heritable adaptations. ( Adaptations- occur in appearance+behavior and are associated with the part of the body and the body process ex. Beaks are adapted for nutrition/feeding) *Adapted organisms survive and reproduce pass on the adaptation or heritable trait next generation forming a new species over time. *Darwin believed that populations that were overpopulated had a better chance of survival. *Evolution is associated with the concept of new species evolving from common ancestors or ancestry • As adapted organisms survive the natural environment they reproduce and positive traits a generation of a new specie. . more adaptable species evolves *Over a period of time these changes result in NEW SPECIES. * Darwin suggests that with new species-the organism can be traced to a common ancestor SPECIES*Species is the second word of the scientific name or binomial nomenclature *Members of 1 species can reproduce/interbreed or hybridize with members of same species. *1 Species cannot reproduce with another species *Species differ from other species *Species can change with evolution *A new species has a new genetic recombination-new proteins

VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES - can be observed in fossils Parts of organisms that loose their function as they evolve are vestigial They are reduced in size. Structure remain intact but parts look similar Conclusion common ancestors organisms are related #4 EMBRYOLOGY- can be observed in fossils Conclusion: Similarities in the way embryos look=common ancestor #5.

HARDY WEINBERG PRINCIPLE states In order for equilibrium to remain in effect (i. e. that no evolution is occurring) then the following 5 conditions must be met: 1. No mutations must occur so that new alleles do not enter the population. 2. No gene flow can occur (i. e. no migration of individuals into, or out of, the population). 3. Random mating must occur (i. e. individuals must pair by chance) 4. The population must be large so that no genetic drift (random chance) can cause the allele frequencies to change. 5. No selection can occur so that certain alleles are not selected for, or against.
