Blueprint of Life
  1. impact on evolution due to changes
    1. physical
      1. natural selection choses what is correct for a environemnt

        Annotations:

        • eg. when Austrllia drifted north and became hotter the eucalypt became prminant because of its ability to resprout quickly after a fire
      2. chemical
        1. through natural selection and population can develop resistance

          Annotations:

          • mosquitos and DDT- in 1940's DDT was used as a pesticide in faring and preventing deiseases, eventuallty it was discontinues as studies showed mosquitos had developed a resistance to it and it was also a human carcinogen  
        2. competition
          1. 'survival of the fittest'

            Annotations:

            • Dingo > hunting competition vs Tas. Tiger's > Extinction
        3. evidence for evolution
          1. Palaeontology(fossils) and transitional forms

            Annotations:

            • Archaeopteryx; transitional form between reptiles to bird found over 150 million years old
            1. biogeography- geographical distrubution

              Annotations:

              1. comparative anatomy

                Annotations:

                • sharks and dolphins proving different organisms can evolve into similar 
                1. comparative embryology
                2. divergent - same to different -finches on galopgas
                  1. convergent -different to same -sharks and dolphins
                    1. The peppered moth -tree changed colour -moths changed colour -adaptive advantage
                      1. modern evidence
                        1. forelimbs
                          1. biochemical analysis

                            Annotations:

                            • before - gorillas human closest relative after DNA testing- chimps are

                              1. how characteristics were passed down in pea plants
                                1. procedure -create pure breed tall and short -breed them to created 100% hybrid -breed them to create 1:2:1 ratio -REPEATED
                                  1. Conclusions- characteristics controlled by factors -factors separate when gametes are formed -gametes unite, ratios are predictable dominant can mask recessive
                                  2. gene- section of DNA that controls charateristic
                                    1. alleles- different forms of a gene
                                      1. DNA structure
                                        1. DNA wound around histone

                                              1. result- 4 genetically different hapliod cells
                                              2. ensuring diversity
                                                1. crossing over of genetic material -metaphase
                                                  1. random segregation -how they line up in middle
                                                  2. DNA replication
