2. LEARNING TARGETS
1.I can explain the process of evolution;
2.I can identify some scientists who
contributed to the historical
developments of evolutionary thoughts;
3.I can compare Lamarckian and Darwinian
Evolution;
3. Charles Darwin formulated
the theory of evolution by
natural selection in his book
“On the Origin of Species”
in 1859. It refers to a change
over time and the process
by which modern organisms
have descended from
ancient organisms.
4. ACTIVITY : THE WHO?
DIRECTIONS: Identify the scientists who contributed to the historical
developments of evolutionary thoughts by arranging the letters inside
the box.
Believed that populations grow geometrically while
resources slowly increase or not at all, leading to
competition
6. Realized that species evolved because fittest individuals
survived and reproduced passing their advantageous
characters
Proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired traits
and theory of use and disuse
7. MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES
1. GENETIC DRIFT is a change in
the gene pool of a population due
to chance.
A. BOTTLENECK EFFECT takes place when
population decreases due to various environmental
factors such as fires, earthquakes and floods.
8. B.THE FOUNDER EFFECT happens
when a small population of organisms
separates from the larger group to invade a
new area.
2. GENE FLOW is described as the
movement of genes from one population to
another.When this happens, there is a
tendency to increase the gene diversity in the
populations.
9. 3. MUTATION occurs when there is a
change in the genetic makeup caused by
environmental stressors.This process
expands diversity of organisms.
4. NATURAL SELECTION explains
the difference in survival of individual
and reproduce in a particular
environment.
10. 5. NONRANDOM MATING increases
the frequency of animal with desirable traits.
It causes evolution because it intrudes the
natural pool of gene variations.
11. LAMARCKIANVS. DARWINIAN EVOLUTION
Lamarck’s theory of evolution, organisms
change during their lifetime to survive
then pass these changes to their offspring.
Darwin’s theory involves natural
selection and struggle for existence.
When an organism is fit and can
adapt to its environment, it survives
and more chance to reproduce.
12. Activity : IDENTIFICATION
1.______________________ refers to a change over
time.
2. ______________________ is the father of
evolution.
3. ______________________ is considered as father
of taxonomy.
4.Thomas Malthus believed that populations grow
geometrically while resources slowly increase leading to
__________________.
5. _________________________ proposed the
theory of use and disuse.
13. 6. _________________________ explains the difference in
survival of individual and reproduce in a particular
environment.
7. Gene flow is the movement of ____________ from one
population to another.
8. _________________ occurs when there is a change in the
genetic makeup caused by environmental stressors.
9.The _________________________ happens when a small
population of organisms separates from the larger group to
invade a new area.
10. __________________ takes place when population
decreases due to various environmental factors such as fires,
earthquakes and floods.
14. Activity: PICTURE ANALYSIS
Look at the pictures below. This illustrates the
evolution of phone. Describe each stage and tell the
changes occur in every phase.
15. Activity : FIRST and LAST
Arrange the following pictures from ancient to modern based
on your understanding about theory of evolution. (Use
numbers 1 to 5)
17. LEARNINGTARGETS
1. I can describe how the present system of
classification of organisms is based on
evolutionary relationships;
2. I can interpret and explain the phylogenetic
tree;
3. I can explain the importance of
phylogenetic tree to evolutionary relationship
of organisms.
18. In 1835, when Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, evidence has been
found to indicate that living things have changed gradually during their
natural history.The study of fossils as well as biogeography, embryology,
molecular evidence, and comparative anatomy such as homologous
structure, analogous structure and vestigial structure provide evidence
for evolution
19. Activity 1 Match the picture with each type of evidence.
Choose your answer from the word bank below.Write your
answer inside the box.
analogous
structure
molecular
evidence fossil
embryology
vestigial
structure
homologous
structure
20. The evolutionary history of a group of
organisms is called PHYLOGENY from the
Greek word phylon which means “tribe” and
genesis which means “origin”. Biologist
traditionally represent the genealogy or
organism’s line of evolutionary development
of organisms as phylogenetic trees, which
are diagrams that trace evolutionary
relationships and connections among
organisms.
21. Activity 2 Label the parts of rooted phylogenetic tree based
on the given description.
branch point the point where split
occurs
basal taxon lineage that evolved
early from the root and remains
unbranched
sister taxa point of two lineages
stem from the same branch
polytomy branch with more than
two lineages
Root Indicates that an ancestral
lineage gave rise to all organisms
on the tree
22. FOUR GROUPS OF EVOLUTIONARYTREE
1.MONOPHYLETIC GROUP is also called clade
which shows common ancestor.
2.PARAPHYLETIC GROUP refers to recent
common ancestor but not all descendants are
included.
3.POLYPHYLETIC GROUP includes recent
common ancestors are not included only distant
relative.
4.SOFT POLYTOMY indicates more than two
immediate descendants
24. Activity 4 Analyze the phylogenetic tree. Fill the blank with
the correct answer. Please be guided by the Structure of
Rooted Phylogenetic tree
1. The root of the tree is
represented by letter
______________.
2. ____________ shows
common ancestor of B and
C.
3. A to E represents the
___________________
___
4. B and C are
___________________
_.
5. Which is more likely close
related? A and C or C and
D?
25. Activity 5 Study the phylogenetic tree then answer the
questions below
Questions:
1.What do you call the
place where two
branches split apart?
2.What does the branch
point that connect
chimpanzee, bonobo and
human represent?
3.What is that single
branch point from which
all branches originate?
4.What does the node
closest to the root
represent?
5. How important is
phylogenetic tree?
