Organism - any complete living thing.
Organ system - a group of organs that perform a common function.
Organ - a group of tissues that perform a common function.
Tissue - a group of cells that perform a common function.
Living things organize cells at several levels:
Living things must be able to organize simple substances into complex ones.
Both molecular and cellular organization.
In multicellular organisms, specialization increases until some cells do only certain things
Single-cell organisms have everything they need to be self-sufficient.
Heterotrophic – can not make their own food
Autotrophic – can make their own food
Multicellular – made up of many cells
Unicellular – single-celled; made up of one cell
Eukaryotic – cells that contain a nucleus
Prokaryotic – cells that lack a nucleus
Animals (Animalia)
live in diverse environments
Plants (Plantae)
Cell wall of cellulose
most live on land
autotrophic
multicellular
Fungi
Cell wall made of chitin
include yeast (unicellular), molds, mildews, and mushrooms
heterotrophic
most are multicellular (yeast-unicellular)
Protista (Protists)
Some have a cell wall
some are autotrophs, others are heterotrophs
most are unicellular, others are multicellular
eukaryotic
includes any organism that can not be classified as a animal, plant, or fungus
the “odds and ends” kingdom;
Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
They are unicellular, prokaryotic, some are autotrophic and others are heterotrophic.
They are found everywhere on Earth except extreme environments.
found in thermal vents, hot springs, very salty water, swamps, and the intestines of cows
they thrive in the most extreme environments on Earth; they are often referred to as “extremophiles”
known as “ancient bacteria”; they are the most primitive type of organisms
Cell walls of different compositions
They are different from bacteria in the structure and chemical makeup of their cells.
they are unicellular, prokaryotic and some are autotrophic and others heterotrophic

Diplo- (arranged in pairs)
Some live in colonies or link together to form filaments
Use sulfur as their source of energy
Grow best at temperatures above 80°C
Live in hot sulfur springs, volcanoes, deep sea vents.
Heat and acid-loving archaea
To prevent an exodus of water from the cell, halophiles offset the high salt in the environment by accumulating such compounds as potassium and glycine-betaine. This allows a balance of salts inside and outside of the cell preventing water from flowing outward as would be the case if lower salt levels existed within the cells.
The caretonoids give them a pinkish color,
Incorporate pigmentation in the form of bacteriorhodopsin, for photosynthesis, and carotenoids for UV protection.
Live in salt pools (15% salt)
Salt-loving archaea
Methane is the waste product
Use CO2 gas, and H2S as a source of energy
Live in oxygen-free environments (swamps, marshes, sewage disposal plants)
Methane producing archaea
Volcanoes, piles of hot coal, in rocks deep below the Earth’s surface
Hot springs, sea-floor vents, alkaline or acidic waters, saline environments
Complete Dominance
The only way a short pea plant can be produced is if an offspring inherits two recessive alleles
In our example tall is completely dominant over short
Complete dominance means that one allele is always dominant over the other
Both of the examples that we examined demonstrate complete dominance
Punnett Squares
Let’s explore how a monohybrid cross works by using a Punnett square with an example.
To illustrate how traits are inherited Mendel utilized a Punnett square, which is a tool used to show the various combinations of alleles that result when two parents mate.
This is referred to as a monohybrid cross
When Mendel studied pea plants he initially examined the inheritance of one trait at a time.
Principle of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Each allele comes from one parent’s sex cell that was formed through the process of meiosis
Two alleles code for a trait (e.g. Yy)
Developed by Mendel
When organisms are crossbred only dominant traits will be expressed
Monohybrid Cross
Dominant and Recessive Alleles
Recessive allele
E.g. w is used for a continuous hairline
Designated with a lower case letter
Only expressed in the absence of a dominant allele
Dominant allele
E.g. W is used for widow’s peak
Designated with a capital letter
Expressed when present
From the experiment Mendel concluded that the trait for tall plants was dominant and the trait for short plants was recessive.
Cross-Pollinating Plants
It is through this process Mendel controlled reproduction of the pea plants.
Pollen from another plant is directly applied to purple flower.
The stamens which contain pollen is removed from one plant. This is important to prevent self-pollination.
Crossing the Parent Generation
The parent plants made up the parent generation (P generation)
Mendel cross-pollinated pure-bred plants that were different for one trait e.g. height
Pure breeding Plants
Pure breeding plants always have offspring with the same traits as the parents.
This plant was ideal for several reasons:
Many observable traits to study e.g. flower colour, pea shape
Reproduction was controllable
Could self-pollinate or cross-pollinate
Grew and reproduced quickly
readily available
utilized the pea plant to study the inheritance of traits
Laid down the groundwork for further studies in the mechanisms of inheritance
Became a monk and studied hereditary in pea plants
attended the University of Vienna
Was going to be a high school teacher
Studied math and botany
Recessive alleles are described using lower case. (do not code for proteins)
Dominant alleles are described using a capital letter. (code for proteins)
Causes of Mutations
High Temperature
Chemicals- asbestos, formaldehyde
Radiation- X rays, UV damage
Mutagens
May be Spontaneous
Chromosomal Alterations
Few mutations resulting in chromosomal alterations actually are passed on because Zygote often dies
Homologous chromosomes do not pair or separate correctly: Down’s Syndrome.
Very common in plants, but can happen in all organisms
Part of chromosome may be lost
May occur in meiosis.
Types of Mutations
Frame-Shift Mutation - A single base pair is added or deleted. The entire strand shifts over. Entire protein is changed.
Point mutation- One change in a nucleotide can change the entire meaning.
The dog bit the car.
The dog bit the cat.
Mutations in body cells:
Impaired function of the cell (loss of function) or impaired cell division (cancer)
Not passed to offspring but may be harmful to the individual
A mutations in reproductive cells means the gene becomes part of the organism and can result in:
Death of the organism
Structural or functional problems
Non working proteins
New trait
Mutations- caused by errors in replication, transcription, cell division or by external agents.
Similar to a computer binary code 001100101000111110
64 possible combinations of the 20 AA.
20 AA act like the alphabet for DNA (26 letters make millions of words.)
Nucleotide sequence transcribed from DNA to mRNA is the genetic message. The complete info for life.
There are also STOP codons and START codons
Remember CODONS? (the sets of 3 that DNA is arranged in)
There are 20 possible combinations and as a result 20 amino acids
These code for Amino acids
mRNA leaves the nucleus with the code for the protein
Contains URACIL(U) vs. of thymine (T)
Ribose sugar vs. deoxyribose
Single stranded vs. double stranded
RNA differs from DNA in 3 ways:
So how does DNA get its message to the rest of the body?
THE MESSENGER =mRNA
DNA needs a messenger to travel to the cell (ribosomes via rough ER) to make a protein and then the protein can travel all over the body.
DNA does not leave the nucleus.
Proteins fold into complex 3-D shapes and become key regulators – forming muscle tissue, enzymes and controlling chemical reactions.
This information is put to work through proteins.
Sequencing of nucleotides in DNA contain information.
ALL organisms undergo DNA replication.
Before the cell can divide it first makes a copy of its chromosomes through DNA replication
Each cell in the body has a copy of DNA that was present in the original fertilized egg of the zygote.
Order matters!
SANTA and SATAN same letters different order
SEQUENCING
A-T-T-G-A-C has different information than T-C-C-A-A-A
A cattail, a cat and a catfish are all different organism composed of proteins with the same 4 nucleotides. The difference?
It is these proteins and combination of proteins that give us a unique phenotype.
This unique sequence of bases will code for the production of a unique protein.
Each unique gene has a unique sequence of bases.
A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein.
Each nucleotide consists of:
Nitrogenous base
Pentose sugar
Phosphate group
A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits called Nucleotides.
DNA consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure called a Double Helix.
Black Chicken x White 🡪 Speckled Chicken
22 pairs of autosomes
1 pair of sex chromosomes
The Female Gamete is the Ovum (ova = pl.) and is produced in the female gonad the Ovaries
The Male Gamete is the Sperm and is produced in the male gonad the Testes
Sexual reproduction is any reproduction that does involve meiosis.
Individuals that are better adapted will survive and perpetuate the species
Sexually reproducing organisms are better able to adapt to changing environments because of differences between individuals
Requires more energy and time than asexual reproduction
(offspring are genetically different from parent)
Genetic information from parent cells are combined to produce a new organism
Asexual reproduction is any reproduction that does NOT involve meiosis.
3. There are no specialized structures required by the parent.
2. Often produces many offspring rapidly
1. A single parent gives rise to offspring that are genetically identical to the original parent (clones)
Coevolution
Co-evolution is likely to happen when different species have close ecological interactions with one another
Mutualistic species
Competitive species
Predator/prey and parasite/host
Used to describe cases when two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution
The evolution of the morphology of a plant may affect the morphology of a herbivore that eats that plant, which may affect the evolution of the plant, which might affect the evolution of the herbivore and so on, and so on
Convergent
An evolutionary pattern when two or more species become increasingly similar in phenotype in response to similar selective pressures
species of different ancestry begin to share analogous (similar in appearance but different evolutionary origins) traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure
Adaptive Radiation
Species “radiates out” from common ancestor
Commonly occurs after mass extinction
One original species gives rise to three or more species.
Occurs when divergent evolution occurs in rapid succession, or simultaneously, among a number of populations
Divergent
An evolutionary pattern where two species become increasingly different
On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor
On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells.
Often happens when two closely related species diversify to new habitats
Result of differing selective pressures or genetic drift
Change does not demonstrate progress (improvement)...it is simply change.
Each living species has descended, with changes, from other species over time.
Natural selection does not demonstrate progress, but merely results from the ability of species to survive local conditions and to pass on the traits that helped them survive.
Individuals with traits that are not well suited to their environment either die or leave few offspring.
Evolution occurs when good traits build up in a population over many generations and bad traits are eliminated by the death of the individuals.
The individuals with the best traits / adaptations will survive and have the opportunity to pass on it’s traits to offspring.
Ex: When a predator finds its prey, it is due to the prey’s physical characteristics, like color or slow speed, not the alleles (BB, Bb)
Natural selection acts on the phenotype (physical appearance), not the genotype (genetic makeup)
Natural selection occurs through “Survival of the fittest”
Not all individuals survive to adulthood
Fitness: the ability to survive and reproduce
Individuals COMPETE for limited resources:
Food, water, space, mates
The more variation of types of species in an habitat, the more likely at least some will survive
EX: Dinosaurs replaced by mammals
Since the environment changes….
EX: If everyone is the same, they are all vulnerable to the same environmental changes or diseases
The more variation within a species, the more likely it will survive
Adaptation: an inherited trait that increases an organism’s chances of survival
Each individual has a unique combination of inherited traits.
More individuals are born than can be sustained by their environment, which creates a struggle for existence
Each species produces more offspring than survive
Could species have been modified from an ancestral form that arrived on the Galapagos Islands shortly after the islands were formed?
Why did the Galapagos species so closely resemble organisms on the adjacent South American coastline?
Why would living and fossilized organisms that looked similar be found in the same region?
Why were all types of organisms not randomly distributed?
Finch beaks were adapted to the food source on each island.
Finches found on islands resembled continental finches but were different in some characteristics.
He found fossils of extinct animals that looked similar , but not identical, to living animals.
The flora and fauna were different in different regions.
Wrote a book called “The Origin of Species” to propose his theory of natural selection, which is a mechanism for evolution
As the ship’s naturalist, he made observations of organisms in South America and the Galapagos Islands
Darwin went on a 5-year trip around the world on the ship, the HMS Beagle
Proposed a mechanism for evolution, natural selection
Father of Evolution
chickens bred to produce more eggs
cows bred to increase muscle for meat consumption
cats bred for appearance
to select for certain characteristics in some individuals and select against certain characteristics in others
change in competition
change in predators
light level change’
temperature change
3. disruptive selection
Large lobsters mate by force and small lobsters sneak in female populations in alpha male territory
Example - mating lobsters
Select against average or intermediate phenotype because it is less fit than the extremes
Selects for (favours) 2 extreme phenotypes that each have specific advantages
2. directional selection
Selects against other phenotypes
Selects for (favours) one extreme phenotype
Populations genetic variance shifts towards a new phenotype when exposed to environmental change
1. stabilizing selection
Results in a decrease of populations genetic variance
Selects against extreme phenotypes
Selects for (favours) average phenotypes
Balance of stasis and punctuated events
During periods of stasis change is slow, however, sudden events (punctuated events) i.e. a flood or volcanic eruption can put huge selective pressures on a population requiring a rapid rate of evolution in a short time frame
That evolution occurs both gradually and in small punctuated events
Traits cannot be gained just because they would be useful
Doesn’t reflect how we inherit traits
Body parts that are not used would be lost over time
Traits acquired during an organism’s life can passed on to offspring
Organisms become increasingly better adapted to their environments
Theory states that species increased in complexity over time until they reached a level of perfection
Suggested that catastrophes killed many species (catastrophism) and that these events corresponded to the boundaries between the fossil strata
Discovered that the oldest fossils are in the deepest layer
Discovered that each stratum (layer) of rock held a unique group of fossil species
Doesn’t take into account that changes can also be slow and subtle, specifically changes within a population
Theory of catastrophism states that natural events like floods and volcanic eruptions killed species living in a region and allows species from neighboring areas to repopulate an area, resulting in change
Noted that species are found in particular rock layers and that new species appear and disappear over time
Developed Paleontology - the study of ancient life through fossils
Doesn’t take into account varying geological processes like natural disasters, catastrophes, climate change, impact of human activity
Provided a geological perspective that inspired Darwin
Slow subtle processes that happen over a long period of time lead to substantial changes in the long term
Theory states that geological processes operate at the same rate today as they have in the past
Occurs in populations that live in the same geographic area
Happens when gene flow is diminished by:
Sexual selection
habitat differentiation
Polyploidy
Less common than allopatric speciation
Occurs when part of a population enters a new habitat bordering the range of the parent species
Some gene flow may occur between populations in border zone
Gene flow is interrupted when a population is divided into geographically isolated subpopulations
Hybrid breakdown
the first generation hybrids are fertile, but when these hybrids mate, offspring of the next generation are sterile or weak.
Hybrid sterility
even though the hybrid is healthy and vigorous, it is not able to reproduce
Hybrid inviability
even though the zygote is created, it fails to develop to maturity due to genetic incompatibility
Gametic isolation
two populations exchange sperm and eggs but rarely fuse to form a zygote
Mechanical Isolation
two populations do not exchange alleles because they are anatomically incompatible
Ecological/Habitat Isolation
two populations do not exchange alleles with each other because they are in different geographic places or at different places within the same ecosystem
Temporal Isolation
two populations do not exchange alleles because they are only available to exchange alleles at different times of year or even of the day
Behavioral isolation
two populations do not exchange alleles because they do not respond to each others mating rituals
Often, males and females in a population have drastically different physical characteristics such as colourful plumage in male birds and antlers in male deers - this difference is called sexual dimorphism
As homozygous genotypes become more common, harmful recessive alleles are more likely to be expressed
Close relatives share similar genotypes, so inbreeding leads to increases in frequency of homozygous genotypes
This is in contrast to random mating where breeding partners are randomly selected - the likelihood of specific genotypes mating is based on the allele frequencies within a population
The Effect of non-random mating is that it increases the proportion of homozygous individuals in a population
is the changes in gene distribution that result from a rapid decrease in the population size
Since the survivors have only a fraction of the original population alleles, the gene pool has lost diversity
Starvation, disease, human activity, and natural disasters can quickly reduce the size of a large population
is a change in a gene pool that occurs when a few individuals start a new isolated population
Occurs frequently on islands
Diversity in the new gene pool will be limited
These founders will carry some, but not all, of the alleles from original population
Often, new populations are formed by only a few individuals, or founders
Think of flipping a coin 1000 times versus 10 times
Sample size can greatly impact the gene pool of a population - the smaller the population, the more likely that the future generations won’t reflect the parent generation
We have two alleles for each gene. These alleles "work" together in determine what our hair colour, height, eye colour etc will be.
These variations of a gene are called alleles.
Whenever we look at any trait, such as hair colour, we have variations of that trait (e.g. red, black, blonde and brown).
Genes are segments of DNA that code for a specific trait, such as hair colour, eye colour, height, eyelash length etc.
fossil records show that fish are the oldest vertebrates (animals with backbones) and it isn’t until more newer layers of rock do you find other vertebrates (reptiles, mammals, birds, etc.).
Fossils appear in chronological order in the rock layers.
Fossils found in young layers of rock (rock closer to the surface) are more similar to species living today than fossils found in older deeper layers of rock.
